May 6, Nantes – AGAINST THE EXTREME RIGHT, TOU.TE.S. IN THE STREET
May 2017-May 2019
May 7, 2017: election night, Macron has just been elected to “block the far right”. In Nantes, a demonstration is held to denounce this masquerade, as always it is repressed. Two teenagers who took part in the demonstration were attacked by members of the Union Défense Défense (GUD *) group, who, on the pretext that he would be antifa, one of them will end up in a coma. *
Following this affair, the Breton section of the GUD disbanded. The other organized groups of the extreme right are low profiles and only some independents try some cowardly aggression during the occupations of the Fac (that it is that for the exiles or during the movement of opposition to the law ORE) but are repulsed like he must. The year 2018 is therefore a year in which the fafs are relatively invisible in Nantes unlike the two previous years, marked by the fascist attacks made by the militants of Defend Naoned * and the GUD.
The return of the far right
However since the year 2019, the fafs show themselves again. In January, a socio-cultural center, a school and a Halal butchery are set on fire in the metropolis, Nazi tags are found on two of the disasters. * More recently, Islamophobic stickers have been stuck close to the gymnasium where 250 exiles survive. activists were insulted and threatened by a group of fascists.
The union student union Union Nationale Inter-université (UNI) * does not hesitate to stick its posters on the campus of Human Sciences and multiplies the provocations to activists on social networks. The Royalists of the French Action also take the confidence: not a week goes by without them sticking their posters and stickers in the city center. In parallel with the movement of yellow vests, a group of nazillons, the “breizh firm” made up of defend naoned elders and the GUD, chained provocations and aggression at 5 to 1. On the other hand, when the balance of power are equivalent, that bunny.
Fascist clients, bar accomplices
These groups could not organize themselves if there was no place to meet. Several downtown bars such as Giggs, 100 Pressure, DeDannan, Fleming’s or John Mc Byrne serve as back bases for these groups to commit their aggression. The managers of these bars can not say they do not know: when one of their customers spends his afternoons doing Nazi greetings on the terrace, or the surroundings of these bars are inundated with fascist stickers, is more to let him do but complicity.
These bosses are not the only accomplices of the far right: already in 2017, Johanna Rolland mayor “socialist” left a theorist of the extreme right to occur in a room belonging to the city. Monday, May 6 next bis repetita, the National Rally (ex FN) has the authorization to organize a public meeting in a municipal hall, the Manufacture, symbol of the labor movement. This is the provocation of too much, Monday let us be on the street to protest against this complacency of public authorities vis-à-vis the most reactionary ideas, NANTES IS AND WILL REMAIN ANTIFASCIST.
