The Antifascist Kraków group with the support of the Nostromo Soundsystem team is organizing a specific demonstration – “Anti-Fascist Street Party”. Deadline – September 19 (Saturday). The demonstration will start at 17 on Napoleon’s Great Army Square near Wawel, then it will pass through the streets of Krakow. The organizers remind about safety rules, i.e. masks and keeping the 2 meters distance. Participants are to protest with music, dance, rhythmic marches, and fun.
Let’s just hope it does not degenerate…
“To the rhythm of live music, we will show that we choose values such as freedom, diversity and solidarity. We want to express our resistance in an innovative way, taking into account local realities. We will appreciate the daily courage and solidarity of people who are still not free in this country. We will show them our support. We will go together for the world we want: free, equal and just”, announces Antifascist Krakow.
The organizers write about fatigue – as they put it – with distorting history or imposing extreme right-wing propaganda. “We do not want to live in Poland where citizens are deprived of human rights and even humanity. We want to live in a place where all minorities are respected, where we approach other people with kindness, regardless of their skin color, gender, origin, or sexual orientation”– wrote Antifascist Krakow, announcing the demonstration.
It was also emphasized that the organizers of the anti-fascist street party refer to the rich tradition of dance protests, which – started in the jazz cellars of Nazi-occupied Paris – are held to this day, such as the anti-fascist street party in Berlin directed against the AfD party in 2018 or the annual Rave 161 BPM in Warsaw, which was created “in response to the fascinating March of Independence”.
