Memorial for Carlos, antifascist killed by a nazi in Spain.

Next Saturday 24th noon at Southbank, by the monument to the international brigades in Jubilee Gardens, we´ll gather to honour the memory of Carlos, an antifascist who was killed two weeks ago by a nazi in Madrid.

On November the 11th a nazi party had called a demonstration against inmigrants in a working class area of Madrid, a neighbourhood where workers from many parts of the wolrd live. This racist provocation had been authorised by the government. To protest against this, many antifascists gathered to defend the area. While on his way there, Carlos was stabbed in the heart by a nazi with a hunting knife. He bleed to death on an underground platform. He was sixteen. Another friend of him, Alex, was also stabbed and his recovering in hospital to a chest wound.
Only in the last week there were up to five fascist and nazi demos in Madrid, four of which had been authorised by the governement. The antifascist platform had called for one on the 24th which has been banned. On that same day, we will gather to honour the memory of our comrade Carlos, and to protest the criminalisation of the antifascist movement by the spanish authorities and the media.

Meet at 12:00 by the monument to the international brigades @ Jubilee Gardens, Southbank.

Memorial for Carlos

21.11.2007 09:40

As the incident involving the murder of an Anti-Fascist is very recent, there has not been that much time to organise the upcoming Memorial Demo. The decision to organise the event was agreed on during the last London Anarchist Federation meeting on the 15 November 2007. AntiFa were contacted by the group the following day. The rest of the Anarchist Federation got stuck in on the same day and over the weekend. We have all done our utmost to contact as many relevant individuals and groups as we can in the short period of time that has been available. If there is anybody that we have not contacted or have been unable to contact, please treat this as an invite. Although this is the weekend of the ‘Feeding of the 5000’ event, the organisers went to great efforts to consider this event and planned the time of the Memorial Demo to prevent a clash or overlap. There will be plenty of time for those that are going to the ‘Feeding of the 5000’ to partake in the Memorial Demo and be a part of Anti-Fascists Solidarity … And I am pretty certain that Steve Ignorant would agree.

Please see the attached poster and hope to see you there.

International Brigade Monument

22.11.2007 14:29

This is to inform the individuals and groups intending to participate in the memorial to Carlos on the 24 November 2007, that we have established that the International Brigade Monument is within the SOCPA exclusion zone. At the same time, the event is being treated more as a memorial service than an actual protest action. However, there is no way of establishing whether this will make any difference to the police, if they get involved.

If there are problems with them, we plan to move a road or two down to move out of the zone and prevent arrests, as a worse case scenario. At the same time we do intend to approach the event in a responsible manner and the organisers will be visibly present for contact with the police. At the same time we will act in an assertive, but non-hostile manner ... to avoid any unnecessary complications.

We do not want anybody to be disillusioned by the SOCPA exclusion zone aspect, but as a responsible organisation it is our duty to inform anybody that intends to participate in the event on the 24 November 2007, of this knowledge that we have recently acquired.

Hope to see you there
