Europa

Last Sunday, the so-called European Elections finally came to their conclusion. Considering the revolutionary viewpoint, these elections were marked by the 1st Joint International Boycott Campaign for this kind of election to ever take place with such a coordinated effort of Maoist Parties and Organizations in Europe. Organizations from Finland, Galicia, France, Austria and Germany signed one common call together with organizations from outside the EU that supported the campaign, such as from Peru, Turkey and Norway. Apart from this, comrades in Denmark and Sweden made great efforts spreading the call of boycotting the elections in their respective countries.

Update: Comrades of the Antifa Infoblatt have also published a more comprehensive report on the campaign in Austria, that we want to particularly highlight.

 

We publish this video of an action against the European Elections which was sent to us:

We publish some pictures of actions against the elections in Weimar which were sent to us.

Today, voting for the European Elections started in the Netherlands and Great Britian, which’s participation in the elections makes it appear so much of a farce already – particularly with the current turmoil over Mays rumored soon-to-happen resignation – that it embarrasses even the most hard boiled parliamentary cretins of the EU bureaucracy. All the more reason to reject and boycott these elections. Hence, we gladly spread the following call published by several anti-imperialist organizations calling for the boycott of the elections, and firmly take position for it denouncing the role of the European Union as a tool to further impose the imperialist’s exploitation upon the peoples within Europe, behind which German imperialism is a driving force, and which compels us to increase all our efforts to destroy the EU and “our own” imperialists. - Editorial Staff of Dem Volke Dienen

We publish some of the actions done by comrades in Bremen:

Danish comrades of Socialist Revolution have published a report on an action in defense of the life of Chairman Gonzalo today, of which we like to share the English translation:
 
Action in Copenhagen to defend the life of Chairman Gonzalo
 
Activists carried out an action under the slogan: "Defend the life of Chairman Gonzalo!" on the occasion of the 39th anniversary of the People's War in Peru. The action was carried out in a proletarian neighborhood in South-Western Copenhagen.

We want to publish a translation of a statement by the "Antifaschistische Aktion - Infoblatt" about the "scandal" which appeared in Austrian policy and will lead to a snap national election in September this year.

Uniting under the slogan “Strike back” broad sections of Swedish society came together last year, first for a manifestation in August and then again for country-wide days of action from the end of November to Early December, to organize the struggle against cutbacks of the worker’s rights, particularly the right to strike.
