Disobedienti Throwing Shapes

Italian comrades submit
Following the racist round-up of immigrants by the carabinieri on Monday 30th June at Piazza Risorgimento in Pordenone (north-east Italy), we, together with other activists and anti-racists, organized an inter-ethnic street party with music, speeches, food and films for the following Saturday (5th July).
The protest, which was peaceful and colourful and which included
the particpation of many immigrants, served to demonstrate our determined opposition to the Bossi-Fini Law and also to retake public spaces and areas for socializing.
Everything was going smoothly with many taking advantage of the open mike, when a serious incident took place - through a form of practice which is by now commonplace in the North-East [of Italy.
While chatting to other comrades, one comrade from the Circolo Libertario E. Zapata was head-butted in the face out of the blue by one of the "disobbedienti" who had just finished talking on the mike.
The motive, apparently, was that he had been whistled and jeered during his speech. Despite the violence and melee which was sparked off, we were able to ensure that the anti-racist party did not degenerate as a result of the actions of these "squadristi" with their latest disguise.
Their technique is always the same, it didn't really matter who was jeering, or why. In the minds of these "stalinists", they need to search out a "leader" and straight away establish their strength through the use of violence and aggression.
And so it was that our comrade from the Circolo Zapata was probably held to be "the anarchist leader" by this troglodyte. It must be noted that this character is not from Pordenone and has never participated in any type of local activity whereas our comrade is not only a member of the coordinating committee of the Pordenone Immigrants' Association, but has also been heavily involved in the anti-racist struggle for the rights and freedoms of migrants.
Obviously, the arrival of this character was accompanied (according to the usual script) by other "disobbedienti" from the region of Trieste and Monfalcone.
This is none other than the umpteenth demonstration of the sort of politics that the so-called "disobbedienti" plan to carry out in the North-East, cut off as they are from the context they intend to work in, their objective is to "conquer" the territory using the vilest colonialist methods.
We not only condemn what took place and refuse to accept "squadrismo" as a political practice, we re-state forcefully hat we will not tolerate any further aggressive acts on our comrades. These practices, together with those who continue to introduce them into the movement, must be roundly rejectly. We cannot go on ignoring this continual, systematic practice with the excuse or pretext of putting it down to "quarreling" or "personal problems".
If these gentlemen think they can resolve their problems of hegemony in the Friuli region through the use of lynching, they will soon realise the error of their ways.
Maximum solidarity to the comrade who was attacked!
