Europe Solidaire Sans Frontières
James Robertson – In the past few weeks we’ve seen the government make significant concessions to the protests – the repeal of the anti-protest laws and the resignation of Prime Minister Azarov. Why has the government decided to make these compromises? Does this have anything to do with the (…)
The radical rightwing party Svoboda rose to prominence in Ukraine’s 2012 parliamentary elections as an alternative to the political establishment, writes Anton Shekhovtsov, expert on Ukrainian rightwing groups. But its role in Euromaidan may well amount to Svoboda’s swan song.

AN INTERVIEW WITH MIRA, ANDREI, AND SASCHA OF ANTIFASCIST ACTION UKRAINE
Sascha, Andrei, and Mira are members of AntiFascist Union Ukraine, a group that monitors and fights fascism in Ukraine. We sat down to talk about the influence of fascism in EuroMaidan, this is what they told me : (…)
The fascist Golden Dawn party has drawn Greece’s ruling party further right – and opened space for deeper austerity measures.
The increasingly bold Golden Dawn party has precipitated a political crisis in Athens whose resolution is far from certain. Golden Dawn, the largest fascist party in (…)
The launching press conference of the Greek Committee of the European Antifascist Initiative took place last Thursday 10 of October at the conference hall of the Greek Journalists’ Union. The panel included the journalist and documentarist Aris Hatzistefanou (Debtocracy, Catastroika), the (…)
Since the assassination by the neo-Nazis of Chrissi Avghi (“Golden Dawn”) on the night of September 17-18 of Pavlos Fyssas, a rapper known by the pseudonym Killah P who was an organizer of antifascist concerts and an antifascist activist, antifascist mobilizations have multiplied in Greece. (…)
What has got into the Minister of the Police, Dendias? Like Prime Minister Samaras , even after the murder of Pavlos Fyssas on September 18, he continued to talk about the “two extremes”, putting the Nazis of Chryssi Avgi (Golden Dawn) and SYRIZA on the same level... This suggests that the vast (…)
Declaration by DEA (Internationalist Workers’ Left, member of the left platform of SYRIZA) (Monday September 30, 2013).
Prime Minister Antonis Samaras and the coalition government of New Democracy and PASOK have been forced to attack the neo-Nazi organisation Golden Dawn, after having waited (…)
The arrest of Michaloliakos is only the beginning to dismantle the murderous neo-Nazi mechanism and their protectors!
1. The apprehension of Michaloliakos, Kasidiaris and other leaders of Golden Dawn is a victory for the magnificent antifascist movement that took to the streets after the (…)
Last night in Keratsini, the 34-year-old antifascist Pavlos Fyssas was murdered by members of the Golden Dawn. The murderers ambushed Pavlos on his way from a cafe back home. It was a political murder. Pavlos, also known as Killah P, a well-known militant of the antifascist movement and a (…)
On September 11, another activist of libertarian student union “Direct Action” was attacked by three masked neo-Nazi. The attack happened in Kyiv in a public place in the city centre. Three thugs approached the activist and asked if he was gay. Then the two offenders started beating him, while (…)
The trial of Savvas Michael-Matsas, one of the few Jewish public intellectuals in Greece, is a cheap sop to neo-Nazis.
“I’m the embodiment of every fascist’s fantasy. I’m a Jew, a communist – and a heretical communist, a Trotskyist, at that. I don’t fit anywhere. The only thing I happen not (…)
Dear Comrades,
We are writing on behalf of Solidarity, a socialist, feminist, anti-racist organization in the United States, to express our support for S. Matsas and K. Moutzouris in their struggle against Golden Dawn’s campaign of violence and hate. We call upon the Greek court to immediately (…)
A Jewish Marxist is being brought to the Courts, accused by the Nazis of having “defamed” them. Are we in Germany in 1933? Not at all: this happens in “democratic” (with many inverted comas) Greece in 2013. The accused is Savas Mikhail, a brilliant intellectual and leader of one of the (…)
The deepening and generalization of the crisis to nearly all European countries makes it now possible to apprehend not only the crisis’s dynamic and characteristics, but also the priority tasks which a left that does not surrender and keeps resisting ought to take on.
1. That is why we could (…)
Last Wednesday afternoon, Clément Méric, a 19-year-old university student, was punched by a skinhead wearing brass knuckles on rue Caumartin in Paris. He fell and his head hit a pole. He was declared dead the following afternoon.

EU criticises the establishment’s failure to deal with violence in a country suffering from effects of harsh budget cuts.
It wasn’t just that their symbols looked like swastikas. Or that thousands of Greek flags filled the marble square beneath the Acropolis. Or that they were marking the (…)
Clément, a young anti-fascist activist, was beaten to death yesterday in Paris by a radical far-right group, the Revolutionary Nationalist Youth.
We affirm our indignation, our anger, our solidarity with his family and his comrades after this attack. This type of groupuscule has felt (…)
The worst possible response to the local council elections in which UKIP won 25% of the vote would be complacency. For this result is shameful for both Labour and for the left-of-Labour left. While it’s true that the mainly rural areas and small town being polled are the heartland of sections of (…)
The recent victories of the right-wing, anti-immigrant United Kingdom Independence Party says more about our scapegoats than about its long-term prospects.
It is a fitting irony that in the same week that the British government agreed to negotiate compensation for the torture of thousands of (…)
