freedom of expression and against the sacred union (fr, it, pt)
[machine translation]
The carnage at the headquarters of Charlie Hebdo has sparked a wave of indignation and
anger perfectly legitimate that we share. We unreservedly condemn the massacre that aims
to sow terror and to silence journalists who defended freedom of expression. We condemn
with equal vigor the murderous anti-Semitic violence unleashed against the customer are
kosher supermarket Porte de Vincennes. ---- Our thoughts go first of all to the relatives
of the victims and we express our full support. ---- These attacks are the work of
religious fascists who dream of imposing their deadly illusions in society. We must be
very clear in condemning without reservation this fanaticism. We fight all forms of
fascism, they thrive on nationalism bottom or obscurantism, and whatever the guides or the
prophets. They want to terrorize deliberately provoke horror and fear, create extreme
tension. In this they are fully complicit in the FN and the extreme right.
And as we feared, we see now that this massacre as a pretext to fuel the racist rhetoric
and justify attacks against Muslim places of worship.
We are already hearing the reactionary scribblers and opportunistic politicians take the
smoky loop theory of the "clash of civilizations" and enjoy this event to renew their
charges against the immigrant-es, foreign-es, the Muslim-es.
We are no less shocked es of political recovery especially by the government Holland. The
call for "national unity" is nothing less than a vast confusion operation to justify:
? Military intervention of France in Iraq, Mali, Central African Republic. The primary
goal of these interventions to protect imperialist interests of French companies in these
regions and dictators in place, not to fight jihadism that France did not hesitate to arm
themselves in other situations.
? A new draconian offensive. As after 11 September 2001, governments are in place under
the cover of anti-terrorism, impose new fichages devices, which have shown since they were
mainly used against political activists and union.
? the anti-social policies of the government. Surfing the emotional shock that affects us
all, Valls and Holland on well to overshadow their political aust?ritaire, especially Bill
Macron, to be presented to the National Assembly in late January and expects its new batch
reappraisals of employee-es defenses (labor court, labor inspection ...), facilitating
layoffs, trivialization and lower compensation of night work and Sunday.
More generally, among the political forces who are indignant today many are largely
responsible for the poisonous atmosphere of their stigmatization of immigrant
workers-his-es and their children, especially when they are supposed to Muslims.
This recovery is even more outrageous that journalists murdered Charlie Hebdo did not
hesitate to condemn the policies of Hollande, Sarkozy or Le Pen. If we had to listen to
the PS and the UMP, FN should have been invited to their "republican march" on Sunday.
Would have thought of it all the journalists murdered?
We regret the transformation of the event next Sunday, initiated by anti-racist
organizations, "a Republican march" which would Valls is the organizer and which Sarkozy
will scroll.
Fiercest opponents of "national unity" for the reasons described above, we will not
participate in the march. It is of the utmost urgency that those who are revolted by this
fascist-es attack and refuse to walk behind Sarkozy and Valls, who want to resist racism
and combat discrimination, which oppose the draconian security policies and regroup, show
the offensive.
