November 25 2015 THE REFUGEES FROM SYRIA, MAGREB AND MIDDLE EAST SUFFER EACH TIME MORE THE REACTIONARY SURGE IN EUROPE by Abu Al Baraa and Leandro Hofstadter France self-inflicted shootings and explosions in Paris 2001Bush’s "twin towers"-style, are used against the refugees and immigrants. The same Government is encouraging the persecution and xenophobic and islamophobic attacks on them. It emboldens fascist groups to the streets that often harass the refugees, especially women when they are alone and taking their hair covered with a scarf, as is the Muslim culture. The refugees are afraid to go out. They suffer constant harassment from the police. Even the French Prime Minister Valls has said that “ISIS is among the refugees” and ordered police to make violent raids in immigrants and refugees’ homes and in mosques, breaking everything. When the refugees and the immigrant in France community asked for rectification, the Government looked the other side. When migrants wanted to hold a rally in repudiation to the ISIS, aimed at demonstrating that they are not part of that organization, the Government denied it hiding behind the State of emergency rule which prohibits any public demonstration. But when a right-wing group a staged a rally with the slogan "the refugees are terrorists", the government allowed it claiming that there is "freedom of expression" in France. Of course that right wing rally ended in more attacks to refugees. The situation of the refugees in the rest of Europe is also worsening. Almost all European countries have returned to close the borders. Greece has increased controls of the income of refugees to its shores. Cases have been known of the coast guard directly trying to sink the rubber boats that take the refugees from Turkey. And those who manage to enter, thanks to the solidarity of the Greek workers, when going for the trip to Germany they find that the border with Macedonia is closed and strongly fenced with wire and military control. There are hundreds of stranded refugees at the border who have begun a hunger strike asking for it to open. And desperation is such that they have stitched their mouths. Snow is about to begin falling now. They are screaming “Either let us pass through or kill us, but don't let us die of cold and hunger” stranded in the middle of nowhere. The situation is so catastrophic that even many refugees seek returning to Syria. This is the counter-revolutionary coup against refugees who had arrived in Europe breaking the siege to the Syrian revolution. They want to weld very strong that fence to massacre the masses. And after doing this, they will go to new and worse attacks to their own working classes in Europe. Syria soaked in blood shows the fate that they are preparing for the masses of the entire Maghreb and Middle East. And if the imperialist powers are not stopped, that will also be the fate for all the European working class. Therefore today every kind of solidarity from European workers is needed; the same solidarity as they were able to demonstrate yesterday. All borders are open! Equal rights (for citizenship, jobs, labor benefits and Trade Union affiliation and protection) for all refugees and immigrants!
