The Fire These Times

Intervention: Anti-Fascist Solidarity in Lyon (English/Français)

Mar 25, 2021

A few days ago La Plume Noire library was attacked by a group of around 50-60 fascists while it was hosting a food and clothing collection for homeless people in the area. This got a bit of media attention, but it is not the first time such an attack happens. 

I had La Jeune Garde spokesperson Raphael Arnault on to talk about what happened exactly. He was on the scene and you may have heard his testimony shared on social media. I asked Raphael to give us some broader context on fascism in France, its specificity and what could be done to help all those fighting its rise. 

First part of this is in English. For French skip to around [9:30]
