(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL - the struggle
continues, March against oblivion (then and now) October 17, 2015 in
Nanterre (fr, it, pt) [machine translation]
"Saturday, October 17, we will march against oblivion. Forgetting the massacre of October
17, 1961, hundreds of Algerians, among them many Nanterriens, thrown into the Seine,
murdered by the police to the orders of his prefect in Paris, a Maurice Papon. The
Republic colonialist applied these days in the metropolis colonial terror lived for
decades in Algeria. Against forgetting the social and daily political violence as in the
slums of Nanterre and elsewhere." ---- join and stream the event facebook walking! ----
But on October 17, we will march as ten years after the death of Zyed and Bouna died "for
nothing" an October 26, 2005 for attempting to escape a police check at Clichy-sous-Bois.
Against oblivion hundreds dead since October 17, 1961, against an exception that continues
to kill in neighborhoods and in Nanterre: Alain Fleury Khetib to prison in 1975 in Jamal
Gennevilliers to the Remand Nanterre in 2012, of Abdennbi Guémiah to the city transit
Gutenberg killed by a racist neighbor in 1982 in Nanterre young boxer, Ben, in 2011 or
Mamadou Marega, completed a short walk from Petit Nanterre blows taser once locked in an
elevator.
Then and now, the cities of slums ... That October 17, we will march against the same
police Hagra serving a same economic order made permanent social violence in cities and
the popular classes, long before the " crisis "of 2008 and legitimized by exceptional
practices and a permanent stigma yesterday for" French Muslims of Algeria ", today the
Muslims tout court. Sow division among the popular classes and make it acceptable to
extend a segregationist system, unequal, making the poorest gap, "foreigners", locking in
the open or in institutions, imposing loneliness or distress face justice preordained. We
do not forget that the exceptions become, through repetition, the norm, and they create a
sense of abandonment for isolated families face the dramas and justice that ultimately
pays the murderers. Especially if they are policemen.
We do not forget that it is to break the resistance, to submit a police order the
populations placed on the wrong side of the economic balance, one displayed openly in
Nanterre with the invasion of the business district close to the Picasso Avenue.
If we walk this October 17 against oblivion, so also against the political reasons that
govern these practices: Before massacring Algerians in Paris, the untouchable prefect
Maurice Papon had his weapons in Algeria after attending the deportation of Jews from the
sub-prefecture of Bordeaux. Even today, the invasion of the Front National in the media,
government, laws, police, extends that order. It is one that remains to fight fascism, a
single economic and racialist rapacity applied by the same state violence.
If we walk this October 17, so this is also against forgetting the presence, yet so
visible, the headquarters of the National Front in Nanterre, against oblivion by a
"solidarity left" more ready to clear the camps and slums its territories the wart which
proliferate all these anti-foreigner discourse, anti-Roma, Islamophobic and racist.
This October 17, so we also call to join the March for Dignity on 31 October in Paris,
Barbès in Republic, to end an emergency that lasted for decades: that of a police murder.
Against all these oversights, because only a social and economic scale response, because
only the people's self-defense and solidarity can compel police violence and its
implacable logic in appearance
Solidarity is our only weapon!
Resist together!
Neither oblivion! Neither forgiveness!
