Members of the Pramen collective, activists of the ABC-Belarus and other Belarusian anarchists took part in the international anarchist congress in St. Imier, dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the creation of the Anarchist International. The congress itself was attended by more than 4,000 people from different parts of the world, including South America, Africa and Asia.
During the congress, comrades from ABC-Belarus gave a presentation about the situation of repression in Belarus and called for more support for repressed comrades. At the congress itself it was possible to find information about the repressed and to sign postcards for them.
One of the main topics this time was the war in Ukraine. Unfortunately, there is still a position among some anarchists that the peoples of Ukraine need to surrender in order to preserve the so-called peace. This position has repeatedly exploded in discussions, including in a provocative format: some so-called comrades tried to create scandals during presentations and workshops, including those organized by Ukrainian and Belarusan comrades.
Our participation in the congress is a continuation of the policy of developing international ties between Belarusian anarchists and groups from other regions.
