Statement by Alternative Libertaire

This statement is in response to the huge police raid carried out at 6.00am in the Villiers-le-Bel suburb of Paris on Monday 18 February. The raid involved 1,000 policemen searching for 38 people suspected of rioting. [ Français]


Villiers-le-Bel
The Empire fights back!


The Power is weakening by the day! Three weeks from the local elections, something was needed to give a boost to the Right, that knows it can count on security issues to try to win the elections!

The gigantic police operation carried out on Monday in Villiers-le-Bel - in reprisal for the riots which broke out last November following the deaths of two teenagers struck by a police car - is a reminder that the residents of the working-class districts are a favourite for the anti-social, repressive policies of the Sarkozy State.

Against the police violence, the police checks on individuals with certain facial characteristics and the raids carried out by the "armoured democratic" regime, we offer the alternative of a project for a fraternal society of equality and solidarity.

Once again, capitalist society happily violates its own legality in the affair being known as the "anarcho-autonomous movement", following the arrest of 10 people as part of an investigation into "acts of sabotage" on SNCF railway lines: the presumption of innocence blithely ignored; the use of ultra-repressive measures provided for by anti-terrorist legislation in a case which is evidently nothing to do with terrorism; charges of criminal association on the basis of a mere collection of political documents without any concrete facts to back up this "evidence"!

textAlternative libertaire faced with an unusual repression 03:36 Sat 17 Jun by Alternative libertaire 0 comments

Today, Alternative libertaire is the target of a repression unusual in scope and timing: in less than 3 weeks, 6 AL activists have been targeted. Each time, the link has been the same: the challenge to State racism and antisocial policy, whose latest avatar is the so-called “Law of Chance Equality”, known by its French acronym CPE. This law generated 12 weeks of exemplary social struggle that ended with the CPE's withdrawal. Today, the State wants Alternative libertaire to pay for the role it played in the strikes and blockades.
