The showcase of the local CNT in Metz was vandalized by extreme right thugs. The
anarcho-syndicalist organization is calling for subscription to fund repairs. ---- The
ami.es of Metz CNT need us! ---- Monday, March 23, 2015, at 4:30 am, the union local of
the Union of Moselle CNT unions, located 5 Charrons place in Metz, was severely vandalized
by two individuals equipped with a mass, as described have the inhabitants and residents.
The showcase has shattered the local was the building covered inscriptions "GUD" [1] and
many Celtic crosses, leaving no ambiguity about the political and fascist character of the
facts. ---- Vandalized the premises of the CNT, up Charrons ---- A place for exchange and
action ---- We plant sets the scene: the local CNT is an office / meeting room (one not
being conceivable without the other) plus a large vault standing in the heart of a popular
area of downtown Metz.
Door (and now showcase) open to all winds, it goes beyond a simple anarcho-union office.
Open daily, it is a living place where union members are found, homeless, undocumented
immigrants, locals convinced, tired point of capitalist society or curious.
Out of time AG, are also heated the soup, it heats coffee, all this time wealthy
exchanges. Monthly or more often organize concerts there screenings and discussions ...
Collective local associative landscape there conducted their gatherings, like the
welcoming committee and support to Metz Roma families who has organized meetings to scope
the merger plans of action of activists and wishes of inhabitants and inhabitants of the
slum, these synthetic efforts that led to their relocation. A collective Food Not Bombs
has emerged, organizing a free zone ... Among other openings and initiatives ...
An area of freedom
Somehow and as a convict, local Moselle CNT boasts a total autonomy from state funding,
being praised in particular through membership fees and adherent and small concerts fruit
( entries 1 to 3 euros), when they suffice ...
This abundance and the diversity of ideas freely regularly cringe customary fascist thugs
of these methods of intimidation and aggression. But this is not enough to silence
solidarity, friendliness and mutual assistance that enables local! A support subscription
was launched to deal with the damage. Alternative Libertaire calls each and everyone to
participate in solidarity.
