During the Christmas weekend, the CGT Bordeaux Métropole premises were covered with racist and hate tags. “Left Islamo”, “no to pork” or even explicit death threats against Muslims were painted on the bay window of the local union.

These despicable tags directly target the workers’ movement and the fight of a union that denounces the racist ideas of the far right. Following on from the attacks against far-left activists, death threats against militant and political personalities, and demonstrations attacks, the far-right thus attacks those who refuse its reactionary speeches.

More generally, this despicable word is expressed in an increasingly uninhibited manner in a reactionary context maintained for several years by the government and its racist and Islamophobic bills, the outbidding of the right but also of a part of the left. .

We give all our support to the CGT Bordeaux Métropole and to the comrades who militate there. Faced with this racist attack against an organization of the workers’ movement, the response must be unitary and in the streets.
