World Federation of Democratic Youth condemns attempts to disrupt its world festival
THE World Federation of Democratic Youth (WFDY) has condemned attempts by “reactionary, zionist elements” to disrupt its world festival in Russia.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, WFDY spoke out after the Israeli delegation to the 19th World Festival of Youth and Students included representatives of the pro-occupation Likud and Jewish Home parties.
It said “fascist and zionist” elements had tried to disrupt the festival events, but urged “progressive and militant” participants to keep attending to “safeguard the ideas of the festival movement.”
