WFDY. Croatian authorities arrest young communists!
WORLD FEDERATION OF DEMOCRATIC YOUTH
ON THE FIRST OF MAY, The International Day of the Worker, two young people members of the Socialist Youth of Croatia were arrested, for carrying a communist flag, with a hammer and sickle and the sentence “Workers of the entire world unite!”
The arrestment of these two youngsters was justified by the Croatian authorities for a so called “disruption of public order and peace.” After they were indentified by the authorities they were released and they will now face a procedure in the Croatian courts.
This happening is not disconnected from the events that, one year ago, took place also in Croatia, when the local police invaded an office to confiscate posters of WFDY that referred to an activity of WFDY against NATO and military bases in the Balkans area.
WFDY denounces this situation, as it considers it a new element in the long anti-communist and anti-democratic strategy of the European Union, NATO and its allies, such as Croatia. We also take the opportunity to denounce the attacks that, in several countries of the world, prevented or tried do disrupt demonstrations of the International Day of Worker.
These attacks are a sign of the contradiction between the imperialist order and a truly democratic world. As the crisis of imperialism deepens, more and more it is clear its anti-democratic, reactionary and militaristic character.
WFDY vehemently condemns all these attacks, and particularly what happened in Croatia, and it calls upon all its member and friend organizations to openly denounce this happening as well as others that interfere with the any democratic rights or freedoms.
WFDY will continue the struggle against imperialism and will never be stopped by any unfair restriction or interference to its ideas, methods and goals. We are right to struggle against imperialism and we are positive that we will win: We will defeat imperialism!
