This year, left-wing internationalists significantly stepped up their street presence compared to the previous year. Our comrades took to the streets alongside supporters in Cologne, Paris, Warsaw, Buenos Aires, and other cities — demonstrating a principled commitment to continue the struggle for socialism in the post-Soviet space, even in the conditions of exile!
The main message of our contingent in Cologne was to show that an uncompromising struggle is needed — both against Russian aggression and against nationalism in all countries. War and crisis cannot serve as justification for xenophobia and discrimination. Our slogans also targeted the ruling regimes in our countries and denounced forced mobilizations.
Comrades in Berlin took part in citywide demonstrations and also carried out their own interventions, calling on migrants to unite — both within and beyond those demonstrations.
Comrades in Paris emphasized the need to free Russian political prisoners and to continue the struggle against Putin’s capitalism. PSL’s anti-war slogan, *“War: good for the few, bad for the many,”* resonated well with the message of *“For peace, against war,”* under which the *France Insoumise* (Unbowed France) contingent marched.
Our Argentine comrades, who run the channel “Argentina Obrera” – https://t.me/argentinaobrera, marched under slogans for peace, class solidarity, and the struggle against both the Russian regime and their own.
In addition, on the same day, our supporters took to the streets in Amsterdam, Gelsenkirchen, Aachen, and Warsaw, joining local leftists. We hope that more comrades will emerge in these cities to carry the struggle forward.
You can also read in this report by our Russian comrades (https://t.me/InternationalFront/124) about how May Day actions unfolded across the post-Soviet region.
We are glad to see the left-wing internationalist movement gaining momentum and continuing to resist on the ground, despite war, crisis, and repression. We are committed to involving more people in the struggle for socialism in our countries.
The struggle continues!
