NATIONAL CONFERENCE:

 Stopping the rise of fascism and racism Celebrate multiculturalism
Challenging Islamophobia |
|
Saturday 2 March, 10–5.30pm
Congress Centre, TUC, Great Russell Street, London WC1B 3LS The rise of fascism in Europe is frightening. Nowhere more so than in Greece, where the Nazis of the Golden Dawn Party are in the parliament, third in the polls, and attacking immigrants and political opponents daily.

 Our movement has achieved some important victories. The British National Party’s (BNP) vote collapsed last year. In autumn, thousands of anti-fascists mobilised to defeat and demoralise the EDL when they attempted to march through Walthamstow. The recent worldwide protests against the fascist Golden Dawn party in Greece were led by tens of thousands in Athens. We cannot be complacent. As the impact of the economic downturn deepens, there is a danger that electoral support for fascism could easily grow again as it has in other European countries, with Golden Dawn in Greece and the Front National in France polling record votes this year.
