Anti-fascist Working Group

At the last Dissent meeting in Germany an ANTI-FASCIST WORKING GROUP was established by some anti-fascist activists from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The aim of this project is to organize a powerful and creative resistance against the fascist demonstration in Schwerin at the 2th of June.
Members of the fascist "Nationaldemocratic Party of Germany" (NPD) are planning a mass demonstration with 1500 neonazis. It's most likely that they try to present themselfes as "the only real anti-capitalists".

From our point of view as regional activists there is big necessity to blocade this demonstration and to point out the anti-fascist character of the anti-globalisation movement. Although at the same time there is big anti-G8 demonstration in Rostock we are going to mobilise against the nationalist march in Schwerin.

Fascist structures in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

Antifascists in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern are confronted with a strong and
good-organised fascist scene. At the last elections in September 2006 60000
people voted for the anti- Semitic and fascist NPD, so they gained six seats in parliament.
Their strategy is controversial:
On the one hand they try to create a social and peaceful image of themselfes as it can be seen in their ambitions to organise
free meals for the unemployed or to arrange youth camps. Recently they place emphasis on anti-G8 activities. On the other hand violence is on their agenda too. There are lots of militant neo- nazis in the rows of the NPD but also in the unorganised fascist spectrum. Their infrastructure is well developed.
Neo-nazis in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern have their own shops to sell their fascist stuff like CD's, T-Shirts etc, they own great estates, in which neo- nazi concerts or lectures take place and there a even some companies runned by fascists like the "National Print Office", where all the local neo-nazi magazines and flyers are printed.

Alerta Antifascista!
In our opinion it's highest time to show fascists in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern that there are lots of people who won't tolerate them on the streets of Schwerin on the 2th of June, as well as anywhere else anytime. Let us show them that we are more powerful, than they can possibly imagine :)
