(en) Poland, No Pasaran! Anti-fascist blockade in Warsaw
Date
Thu, 13 Nov 2008 11:07:02 +0200
Report on an anti-fascist blockade in the city of Warsaw, Poland, by anarchists
and others, attempting to block a march by an anti-semitic, fascist group.
On 11 November 2008 the extreme right-wing group National Radical Camp (ONR)
made a demonstration in the streets of Warsaw to celebrate a patriotic holiday.
The ONR is an anti-semitic fascist group, which celebrates the pogrom in
Myslenic as a national holiday. They are extreme nationalists and have contacts
with other neo-nazi groups. The ONR makes holds a lot of demonstrations. They
planned a large demonstration for 11 November in Warsaw and anti-fascists
decided to organize a blockade.
The crowd of anti-fascists was not very big because they were divided into two
groups: the anti-fascists who wanted tough action and those who wanted only
civil disobedience. This last group decided to blockade the street where the
fascist march was due to take place.
About 150 people, mostly anarchists, went on the blockade, with about half as
many marching with the ONR. More anti-fascists patrolled the area. The
anti-fascists jumped into the street with banners: NO PASARAN and WARSAW FREE OF
FASCISTS. The atmosphere was very heated. Large numbers of police arrived to
block the anti-fascists, with a helicopter, water-cannons and a lot of other
police equipment. They blocked the anti-fascists and other people for three
hours. But, the fascists were forced to stop their march, though the police
protected them and escorted them on a different route. Some ordinary Warsavians
yelled to the police to let the anti-fascists go and some even joined the
blockade. After protecting the fascists, the police cynically claimed that they
were "protecting" the anti-fascists and that they had surrounded them only
because somebody had thrown a bottle at them.
Nobody was arrested at the action but police did take the names of all those who
were surrounded by the police cordon, so it is possible that future action could
be taken against the participants.
