Anti-fascism

A controversial Vox poster modified by Spanish Revolution showed up the greedy racist bastard.

Toni Cantó is a very popular extreme right actor, politician and TV celebrity from Valencia. When he was brought in as running mate to help reelect Ayuso as Mayor in the Madrid local elections the media went wild. His publicity said that on winning he would pact with the new openly fascist party Vox.

The Vox publicity team produced a racist poster/meme saying’ Your Granny gets just 426 euros pension while a ‘MENA’ costs ‘us’ 4,700 a month. and the slogan.’ Protect Madrid, vote safe’.

A ‘mena’ is Spanish rightwing slang for a boy, usually Moroccan, who allegedly fakes his age to stay in Spain and behaves very badly, to say the least.

From the General Confederation of Labor CGT we join the international denunciation against the bad governments of Mexico and of the € urope fortress that continue with their policy of limiting the fundamental right to identity and free movement.

More than nine months ago a delegation of Zapatistas, the National Indigenous Congress and the Front of Peoples in Defense of Land and Water Morelos, Puebla, Tlaxcala reported their decision to “agree to an invasion” of € uropa.

Well, despite having applied for passports, vaccinations and entry visas, to this day, 62 colleagues continue to be denied the right to recognize their identity and manage their passports. In the same way, the bad French government has denied the entry of the, the, the 118 delegates.

At CGT we have been denouncing the absence of respect for the fundamental rights of people for decades, such as the right to have a passport and free movement. And this is another example of the need to reiterate our struggle for the demand for “roles for everyone” and freedom of movement.
