The War on War coalition is calling for a weekend of mobilization on June 13, 14, and 15 against Eurosatory, the world's largest arms fair, which is being held from June 15 to 19 in Seine-Saint-Denis. This event will take place alongside the G7 summit in Évian. --- Eurosatory is an international trade fair held every two years near Paris, at the Villepinte Exhibition Center in Seine-Saint-Denis. War profiteers from around the world gather there to exhibit and showcase their most advanced technologies for killing, control, and repression. This fair is a veritable demonstration of the military-political arsenal available to the states that come to purchase it. Combat helicopters, drones, missiles, tanks, radars, small arms, surveillance technologies-almost everything is there.
French companies will, of course, be in the spotlight, with the best-known arms groups (Dassault, Safran, MBDA, Thales, Capgemini, etc.) but also numerous SMEs and startups. In total, France will be by far the most represented country, with over 700 French companies among the exhibitors. France is the world's second-largest arms exporter and intends to remain so!
A Weekend of Anti-Imperialist Mobilization
The trade show's marketing highlights "defense" solutions in a threatening world. Obviously, the only thing being defended here is the Western imperialist order, which is based on the exploitation of peoples and territories, and in which France plays a major role. Challenged and threatened by the struggles of the people it oppresses, Western imperialism is in crisis and is becoming more radical in order to survive. A boon for the merchants of death who will be exhibiting at Eurosatory.
As revolutionaries, we must do everything we can to disarm the war machine deployed by our own imperialism. Eurosatory gives us the opportunity to take concrete action from home.
That is why the Libertarian Communist Union (UCL) is joining the call from the anti-militarist coalition War on War to mobilize against the holding of the trade fair. While the details of the mobilization are not yet public at the time of writing, War on War has already announced a weekend of mobilization, discussions, meetings, training, and celebrations before the fair opens on Saturday, June 13, Sunday, June 14, and Monday, June 15, 2026.
Waging war on war, from Villepinte to Évian. This will therefore be a weekend of struggle against imperialism for the UCL and all revolutionary activists. In Seine-Saint-Denis, protests against Eurosatory are taking place with the War on War coalition, and also in Évian against the G7 summit, which brings together the leaders of the seven largest Western powers (see the article in this issue: "Fascist G7, Libertarian Response!").
June 13, 14, and 15: from Évian to Villepinte, let's wage war on war! Find details of the mobilization against Eurosatory on the websites and social media of UCL and the War on War coalition.
