18 February 2007 / International Bureau / Statement No: 23 In the early morning of February 12, the Italian state carried out an attack against the revolutionary forces in Italy.
Police raids took place in the cities of Padua, Milan, Trieste and Turin and 15 revolutionaries of the Paduan Social Centre Gramigna, of Milanese Social Centre La Fucina and of the Paduan Proletarian Committees for Communism have been detained.
This "terrorist" hunt on the eve of the demonstration against the enlargement of the military bases of the USA in Vicenza was a threat in the name of the Italian revolutionaries against the peoples resisting against imperialist war and occupation. But the demonstration from February 17 in Vicenza - with a participation of 200.000 according to the organizers - was an unambiguous and strong answer of the masses shouting "down with the imperialist war".
Attacks of the bourgeoisie similar to this one are increasing in the last years. The attacks in 2000 and 2002 in France and Spain against the PCE (r), the operation in 2004 directed against the DHKP-C of Turkey and Northern Kurdistan carried out in a joint attack of the German, French, Italian, Belgian, and Dutch bourgeoisies together with the colonialist Turkish fascism, the massacre of the 17 revolutionaries of the MKP (Maoist Communist Party) in 2005, the detention and imprisonment attack, supported by CIA and MOSSAD, which started in September 2006 against our party MLCP and which is still going on, the raids and attacks against the Kurdish migrant associations in France under the pretext of drying out the finance sources of the PKK and the attacks of the bourgeoisies of the EU against migrant organisations are all links of the same chain.
The "fight against terror" campaigns of the bourgeoisie aiming at upholding their order of exploitation and preventing any kind of resistance of the working class and the labouring masses will not intimidate the revolutionaries, communists and progressive forces. In spite of the millions of dollar they spend in order to force every type of resisting force to its knees, in spite of their vast military power, they couldn't neither stop the resistance in Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan and the anti-imperialist struggle accelerating all over the world nor impede the ongoing workers´ strikes and the peoples´ resistances.
This new wave of repression of the Italian state will also be in vain.
Our Party MLCP calls upon all revolutionary, progressive and communist forces to raise the international solidarity with our revolutionary Italian comrades against this attack. You are not strong enough to defeat us!
Long live international solidarity
Down with imperialism, long live revolution and socialism! MLCP
