Brussels: antifascist city 18/1 [video]

Brussels was the first city to participate in the day of action against fascism of 19 January. The Solidarity Initiative to Greece from Brussels actually made their action earlier today. They hang this poster on the central European Commission building, gave out information leaflets to passers-by and discussed a bit on fascism with them.

In their facebook page, we read:

Today at 13h members of the Initiative stood outside European Commission's Berlaymont building in solidarity to tomorrow's Antifascist Day of Action - Athens Antifascist City. They conducted street interviews and put up a banner displaying 'EC-ECB-IMF Proud sponsors of fascism in Greece!' and gave out leaflets. In an echo of the events that led to World War II, Europe is once again facing the rise of fascism. Last year, the Neo-Nazi Golden Dawn (GD) party received 6.9 percent in the general election of June garnering 18 MPs, managing to institutionalize their message of hate. GD, now third in opinion polls, routinely organizes street raids in areas with dense immigrant population, often beating up or even killing people. Their members-MPs included-have been openly committing hate attacks but very rarely convicted. Their MPs, protected under the parliamentary immunity, never miss an opportunity to threaten with violence all those deemed race traitors.
