Solidarity with the Cultural Association of Turkish Immigrants (ACTIT)
Deepl Translation
The Secretariat of the ICOR and the European Coordinators declare their unwavering solidarity with the cultural association ACTIT and all antifascist friends in Paris. We wish the injured comrade from Young struggle a speedy recovery. On Sunday, February 16, 2025, the clubhouse of the Cultural Association of Turkish Immigrants (ACTIT) was attacked by around 20 French neo-Nazis from the group KOB WEILLE. A comrade from the youth organization Young Struggle was seriously injured and had to go to hospital. The neo-Nazis were chased away by the anti-fascist youths who were having a meeting in the pub. The attack has triggered a wave of anti-fascist protests with 3 demonstrations in solidarity with ACTIT so far. Comrades of the French ICOR organization UPML are actively involved in solidarity!
There has long been close cooperation between the ACTIT and ICOR Europe. ACTIT has made its premises available to ICOR for meetings on several occasions and we remember joint actions, for example on Environmental Struggle Day 2022 and 2023, and joint internationalist protests and a fundamentally important policy discussion on Palestine in your premises and with your hospitality.
For us, there are no national borders for anti-fascists. We will not back down from any fascist attack! Let us build a strong anti-fascist united front in Europe!
In December the ICOR parties in Europe decided:
... the ICOR stands against the belligerent policy of high armament, the increasing rollback of environmental policy measures, a reactionary and inhuman asylum policy and increasing fascist tendencies. The ICOR Europe stands on the side of the working class, which is challenged to vehemently defend itself in hard struggles against the shifting of the crises and burdens of war onto its back. Building an anti-fascist united front is the order of the day, especially after the election of the fascist Trump as the next president of the USA! (Resolution: EU imperialism - now with fascists at the top!)
Strengthen the ICOR - it is needed for the practical coordination, collaboration and cooperation in the struggles of the labor movement, the environmental, women's, peace and youth movement. Against the intensified fascist tendency!
Not a footstep for the fascists!
Against right-wing development and fascism - for socialism!
Long live our anti-fascist struggle!
