Ireland, Derry Anarchists: Smash Fortress Europe - No
One Is Illegal!
Updated on Thursday 3.9 - Solidarity action in Derry today at Free Derry Corner prior to
today's rally against European governments' refusal to open their borders despite
worldwide rage at the treatment of people escaping poverty and war across the Middle East
instigated by imperialism. ---- Several hundred people gathered in the City's Guildhall
Square as the 'great and the good' spoke of their horror at the unfolding crisis not seen
in Europe since the 1930's. ---- As pointed out earlier, at the end of the 1960's Derry
witnessed itself one of the biggest refugee movements in Europe in a decade started as
thousands of people fled loyalist pogroms in the north. By 1971 over 4,000 had fled across
the border, by 1972 it was 10,000.
As the crisis continues and the anger at the lack of urgency to rectify the situation in a
more humanitarian way by ‘our political leaders’ in Stormont, Westminster and of course in
Europe, further protest actions are being planned in Derry and across both states in the
coming days as communities and workplaces show initiative to organising events and
collections. It is vital now that we show solidarity by taking part in these actions and
remind those in power that no one is illegal!
