Good evening comrades,
Below you can find a report of the protest by Vrije Bond Tilburg at a gathering of the fascist party of F.v.D. on the 29th of July in Tilburg.
At 17:00 our group headed towards the fascist gathering at Koningsplein with some signs and banners. As soon as we arrived at the square, we were pretty much immediately surrounded by the fascists and police, who tried to send us away on false grounds. Of course we did not let this stop us from doing what we came for: to deliver our message against fascism and racism. So we took a few minutes, until we felt our message had upset enough of the fascists, and cheered up enough passerbys. Then, with our heads held high and our voices raised, we left the square in order to prevent any arrests, and moved on to a busy road nearby to continue delivering our message to the people of Tilburg: Fascists are not welcome here!!!
Another thing worth mentioning is that we were not the only protesters at the scene, and saw multiple others going against the fascists by themselves. Afterwards, we even learned that one comrade climbed the stage on their own and tried to stop the fascists from spreading their message of hate, which deserves massive respect!
All in all, we have let the people hear our voices loud and clear, and successfully confronted a good amount of fascists, which we are more than proud of.
If there are any comrades in other cities who want to do something similar and could use any help, please let us know! You can always reach us at vrijebondtilburg@riseup.net.
With solidarity,
Vrije Bond Tilburg
p.s.: We would like to thank the municipality and police of Tilburg for giving fascists a stage, and for very rudely, disrespectfully and shamelessly trying to prevent people with an anti-fascist and anti-racist message from spreading it. Thank you!
