Joint announcement of NAP/Greece and Socialist Dawn (Socijalisticka Zora–dawn Socialist)/B.Macedonia for the Golden Dawn attack in a cultural space in Thessaloniki

We denounce the attack of “Golden Dawn” in a cultural space in Thessaloniki with an exhibition of works by an artist from North Macedonia. Fascists attacked the painter forcing him to take down his works. THE Golden Dawnshe is trying to spill her poison once more and we declare that the anti-fascist movement will not let them. As we have done in the past, the anti-fascist movement is the only one that can put an end to their presence, whatever form they take, whatever leadership they support.

Nothing separates us from the people of our neighboring country. Instead, we are united by our struggles once morest the capitalists and their representatives. We fight together once morest every kind of imperialism to which they try to sacrifice the working class and the people. A few days have passed since the murder of 23-year-old Fatmata, who was killed at the border by North Macedonian police while trying to cross into the country, following her asylum application was rejected by the Greek state. The policies of capital and the EU kill on both sides of the border, just as they do in the Aegean. The official racism of governments fuels the hatred of fascists and nationalists who argue regarding the name of Macedonia, but together they turn once morest the refugees, the weakest and the poorest. They also hate art because it is what unites peoples.

Culture has proven many times to be a bridge between different peoples, once morest nationalism and fascism. Through historical and cultural initiatives, we reach out and are inspired by the cultures of workers and peoples in other countries.

We insist on the path of struggle to defend the life of the working class and the people from either side of the border. The Balkan peoples know what fascism means. Our enemies are imperialism, the capitalist oligarchs in our countries and their political servants. Our enemies are fascists and racists.

We fight too we will always fight once morest the system that oppresses the people and destroys their lives, for solidarity of peoples once morest common enemies them, for a new society of equality and justice.

The electoral census started since April 29 continues in zone 1. To see the smooth running of the process on the ground, the President of the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) Dago YABRE carried out this May 3 a tour in certain centers from Lome.

In the census centers, it is the great mobilization of the populations to the satisfaction of the president of the CENI and his delegation.

“Our impressions of the mobilization are good. Mobilization is strong. We have just brought two additional kits here to EPP Kélégougan to be able to absorb the crowds that are there,” said Dago YABRE at the EPP Kélégougan stage.

He said that things are now back to normal, following the few imperfections of the first day. “Now things are back to normal and where we’ve been, each kit is at close to 150 check-ins a day and I think that’s pretty good at this rate,” he said.

On the subject of a possible extension of the census in zone 1, he said that the CENI will advise independently. “The main thing for the moment is to have a reliable and clean electoral file that is authentic and trustworthy,” he said.

Togolese men and women over the age of 18 and who are not affected by any incapacity provided for by law, are invited by the CENI to go massively and serenely to the census and voting centers (CRV) in order to register and obtain their new voter cards.

It should be noted that Togo is actively preparing for the organization of the next elections, in particular the regional and legislative elections scheduled before the end of 2023.

The process has entered its active phase with the registration of voters for the constitution of a new electoral register. In zone 1, the census is scheduled to end on May 06, 2023, unless there is a last minute extension.
