A call for solidarity with the refugees of Moria – We support this request for solidarity – organize rallies, solidarity actions, vigils throughout Europe!

European Continental Committee, 9 September 2020

 

 

Dear comrades,

 

we forward to you the short appeal of the European coordinators of the World Conference on Women in Moria, Greece (see attachment).

 

We support this request for solidarity – organize rallies, solidarity actions, vigils throughout Europe!

 

On the night of Wednesday, September 9, 2020, a fire catastrophe destroyed almost the entire refugee camp in Moria, Greece. 12.000 people have to live in chaos on the streets, there are no reliable reports about injured and dead people. The causes are still open.

"There are 5000 refugees who have lost everything and who have nothing but what they are wearing on their bodies. These people need help immediately. The 35 people infected with Corona are among the refugees. It will be very bad. This has been made known and the locals are very scared. The fascists are shouting: "Burn them" ... The division deepens, starting from the fear of Corona.” (Michalis Aiwaliotis, partner of the Solidarity Pact between the Solidarity and Relief Organization Solidarity International (SI) and the organization OXI, which consists of locals who help the refugees in the camp)

 

It is a disgrace that even in the face of this disaster, the EU is prepared to accept no more than 400 unaccompanied children!

 

The ICOR demands in various resolutions on the refugee question:

The millionfold refugee movement has the worldwide imperialist policy of wars, environmental destruction, hunger catastrophies ... as cause! The problem is imperialism - not the refugee movement. These women and men, children, youth are part of the oppressed worldwide. Let us lead together the struggle against division, racism and fascism. Therefore: Strengthen the construction of the anti-imperialist united front!

 

For the right to escape!

Solidarity with the revolutionary liberation struggles!

The refugees are our brothers and sisters!

 

Fight in the EU countries against the causes of flight, for the reception of the refugees in the EU countries and for their integration into the struggling masses of the respective country!

High International Solidarity!

To the militant women's movement in Europe! Dear world women!
A fire destroyed the refugee camp Moria. 12. 000 refugees are on a
motorway and are under surveillance by the police. The conditions in the
camp have been intolerable for a long time, now it is chaos. The
refugees need our solidarity and help. We are proposing to hold rallies
calling for unbureaucratic reception of refugees in the countries of Europe.
Despite all the problems in our own countries, we stand in solidarity
with the refugees, they too are part of the world women's movement.  We
say: leave no one behind!
