France - November 14th, 2021

Message from comrade Ibrahima, from La Chapelle Debout collective, member of the Black Vests, in support of the demonstration of the migrant workers held in Madrid on November 13th

“I salute the courage of the Spanish immigrants that managed to break the silence that bore us down for decades due to fear. It is our movement, our demonstration. We, from our part, try to encourage those who are not convinced. Fear gives the upper hand to the liars that talk about migration forgetting the essential, as a part of the opposition incarnated by Marine Le Pen or Eric Zemmour, which forget that there is not a single corner, factory or sewer in France and elsewhere that has been built without the immigrants. We are not immigrants from other lands; we are at home, because the underground resources and human resources of Africa, Asia and Latin America built the West. France has the 5th place in the world ranking and she owes that to Africa. Honor to all those who gave their life, the ones that are in jail and the ones that fight every day to defend our freedom.
Be strong, protesters!”
