Klansman David Duke not welcome in Spain
Thursday, November 29, 2007 
By: Silvio Rodrigues 

In brief

Former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard and vicious racist David Duke sparked outrage in Spain while touring to promote his anti-Semitic new book, "Jewish supremacism: my awakening to the Jewish question." 

His tour was an affront to all workers. In a racist attack against immigrants coming to Spain, Duke remarked that "Spain is suffering the greatest threat to its people's heritage and freedom since the Moorish invasion of 711."

A group of intellectuals, journalists and politicians filed a complaint against Duke before the Catalan High Court, citing the Spanish Criminal Code's ban against actions that could "incite discrimination, hatred or violence against groups or associations for racist, anti-Semitic reasons."

Duke's hosts included the Center for National Democratic Studies and the Spanish far-right political parties National Alliance and National Democracy.

antifa did good

if nazis want to celebrate the holocaust by marching through the jewish part of town, then they can only expect to meet some resistance. If nazis want to fire gas pellets into crowds of anti racist protesters then I guess they can only expect a good kicking... and that's what they got. There are pictures of them on the front page of the Czech national newspapers hiding behind police under the headline "The neo-nazis came to town, and got taught a lesson" 

German antifa travelled down to help us out. The Jewish population went out on the streets and wore stars of David with pride. It pissed it down all day, the police held back most of the antifa in cordons or bloacked them in side streets... 

This was a brilliant day for people who want to defend diversity in Prague and all of the region. I'd like to see them try and hold this march next year....

      Riots After 16 Year Old Anti-Fascist Murdered in Spain

            Madrid, Spain - Carlos Javier, a 16-year-old anti-fascist activist, was stabbed and killed by a 24-year-old off-duty soldier, identified as Josué Estébanez de la Hija with neo-Nazi affiliations. Javier was riding a metro train with a group of anti-fascists reported to be Redskins on their way to a pro-immigration protest on Sunday. While stopped at Legazpi station they spotted Estébanez who was wearing a t-shirt with a neo-Nazi symbol.

            Estébanez attacked two of the anti-fascists with a knife, wounding one 19-year-old Jonathan M. Alexander in the lung and Javier fatally in the heart. Fighting ensued and a fire extinguisher was smashed filling the train car with particles. 

            The others in the group of antifascists chased the bastard, and beat him within an inch of his life, until the police arrived and attacked the antifascists. The nazi is (was) a military person, in the spanish army. He is now in a critical condition in hospital, where hopefully he will die soon.

            Police have obtained a copy of detailed surveillance footage from the train and have released a summary of it's contents. Alexander is expected to recover from his wound and a demonstration in memory of Javier has been scheduled for Saturday November 17th.

            Also, a guy in the antifascist lot was hurt when police shot him in the eye with a rubber bullet.
            There´s been demos all over the state, many ending in riots, which in turn have seen some arrested and wounded by the police. 

            20th of November is also approaching, which is the traditional show down between the scum and the antifascists. That's the anniversary of Franco´s death, when the fascists always call for a demo that every year is swiftly countered. So there will be more violence to come.....
