Mobilisation against far-right group ‘New Hope’
BARRY BROOKS reports on anti-fascist protests against a Polish extremist group in Bury
Antifascists on the Bury streets

NEW HOPE is an offshoot of Poland’s main far-right political group, Confederation (Konfederacja), with views/policies to the right of the already far-right core of the confederation. 

As soon as word of them holding an event in Bury got to us, the local Communist Party branch began to organise against it. 

A call for anti-fascists to assemble outside the venue on the day was posted across all social media platforms. There was a wish to ensure as broad a left turnout as possible and to avoid any sectarian friction.
