WORLD WORLDWIDE EUROPE FRANCE - news journal UPDATE - (en) France, Monde Libertaire - Thierry Porré has passed away (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Born on October 17, 1947, an activist with the FA (Anarchist Federation), the ASRAS (Revolutionary and Anarcho-Syndicalist Alliance), and the CGT (General Confederation of Labour) for the Book Industry, Thierry dealt us a cruel blow by leaving us on June 30, 2026, at the age of 78. Some of us knew him in the early 1970s at the Louise-Michel Group, of which he was a member. It must be said that this period, the immediate aftermath of May '68, attracted a whole generation of young people to the Anarchist Federation. Thierry was one of them: an anarchist (more precisely, anarcho-syndicalist), an antimilitarist and conscientious objector (working for the National Forestry Office in Barcelonnette), an anti-Francoist and member of the Free Spain Committee... After briefly leaving the Anarchist Federation to join the Revolutionary Syndicalist and Anarcho-Syndicalist Alliance, he returned to the FA after the dissolution of ASRAS, first to the Pierre Besnard group and then to the Salvador Seguí group. After his retirement, he left Paris to settle in Bordeaux with his partner Fabienne, but expressed his desire to remain a member of the Salvador Seguí group.

A proofreader by profession, he held various positions within the CGT Proofreaders' Union.

Similarly, at the FA (Fédération Anarchiste), he was appointed on several occasions to the editorial board of Le Monde Libertaire, a newspaper in which he wrote numerous articles, both under his own name and various pseudonyms: Jean-Pierre Germain, Sitting Bull, Alexis Pierre, Loulou Barbesois... When he lived in Paris, a passionate blues music enthusiast, he hosted the program "Blues en liberté" (Blues in Freedom) every Wednesday on Radio Libertaire. He continued in Bordeaux on the radio station "La Clé des ondes" (The Key to the Waves), offering another program about his passion: "Bordeaux Blues," as well as a press review for "Les Vieux Fourneaux" (The Old Geezers) and a libertarian daily calendar, accompanied by his partner Fabienne.

A whole life dedicated to anarchist and union activism, to the blues...

Today, we're the ones with the blues.

With Thierry's passing, a whole chapter of our youth comes to an end.

Our thoughts are with him, his partner Fabienne, and their children.

Salvador Seguí Group
