Nazi beats antifa activist
Nazi Scum in action
3 February
Several antifascists from Afa (Antifascist action)Netherlands were
injured in a demonstration against the extreme right nationalist folk
movement(NVB) in Uitgeest, Noord Holland, last Saturday. The demonstrators
were beginning with their manifestation against a meeting of the NVB when
almost straight away the demonstrators where attacked by armed rightwing
extremists. After 5 minutes, the police were able to separate the groups
and arrested several NVB members
It was very clear to the activists that the NVB was seriously prepared for
a fight. When the fascists stepped out of the house, they were armed with
batons, mag lights, bottles and pepperspray. The group had at least one
commander who gave clear instructions such as "Kick them hard in the
faces. Keep the line more tight and over left". It became clear that the
fascists acted as organized group.
One of the Afa activist got seriously hurt and spent a night in the
hospital after several blows with a baton on his head. Luckily he's at
the moment again.
The NVB was founded on march 25, 2006. This organization grew from the
fascist Nationale Volks Alliantie (National Alliance). The fascists of the
NVB are not trying to hide their fascists idealism. The logo of the NVN is
nearly an exact copy of the NSB (Nationalist Socialist Movement, a former
Nazi party in The Netherlands during the WW2), furthermore they are using
the slogan "Voor Volk en Vaderland" (For people and fatherland) which is
also copied from the NSB. From 1933 until the liberation of the
Netherlands the NSB sold a newspaper called "Voor Volk en Vaderland."
The power behind the NVB is the party members Ton Steemers (Schagen), Wim
Beaux (Amsterdam), Gerard De Wit (Delft) en Gerhard Neid (West-Friesland).
They also were former party members of the party CP '86.
Several members of this party were convicted for threating, racism,
illegal weapon possession and maltreatment. In the end this extreme right
party was declared illegal by the courts in 1998.
The NVB has tight connections with other extreme right organizations like
The Dietse (German) Kameraden (Comrades). The members of The Dietse
Kameraden share their members with Blood & Honour. Blood & Honour
Nederland is part of a international Nazi network. In several countries
this organization is declared forbidden. In Belgium last September the
police raided several houses connected to Blood & Honour, finding several
firearms and explosives. The group is also suspected of preparing a
terrorist attack.
It is known that the international Blood and Honour groups have had
paramilitary training in the forest of Antwerpen.
Afa Nederland (Antifascist action Netherlands) are angered that
organizations such as the NVB can continue with their fascist work without
interruption. The NVB is a follow up of the CP 86 (Center democrats).
Besides this, NVB presents itself with the ideology and the symbols of the
former Nazi party NSB.
