A large number of people, anti-imperialists anti-fascists, attended the event, posing questions to the speakers and making statements. A productive discussion followed, analyzing the international situation as well as the duties of the international anti-imperialist movement.

It was declared by all participants that we support Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Palestine, Yemen, Lebanon, and Donbass, and that we struggle in a common front against imperialism, Zionism, and fascism at home and abroad.

The issue of closing US-NATO bases was raised as was the unity of the anti-imperialist struggle against USA-NATO-EU.

VICTORY TO THE RESISTANCE IN IRAN, PALESTINE, LEBANON, YEMEN, VENEZUELA, CUBA AND DONBASS!

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Demo in front of U.S Consulate.

At the call of the Anti-Imperialist Front, a protest was held in front of the US consulate, the main enemy of the peoples, on the anniversary of the founding of the terrorist organisation NATO. People from all around the world participated in the action. Symbols of Cuba, Iraq, Korea, Iran, Palestine and socialist leaders were flown in front of the American consulate. Slogans were shouted against imperialist powers, especially NATO. The Anti-Imperialist Front described NATO’s history and massacres in its speech. The speech ended with a call for everyone to unite against NATO. Around 100 people participated in the action.

Liege, Belgium

On April 1st, in Liège, as Coordination Résistances, we joined the international campaign launched by the Anti-Imperialist Front and mobilized against NATO — the largest criminal and terrorist organization in the world.

As every week, we began by saluting the resistance of the Palestinian people. We addressed current events, in particular the reinstatement of the death penalty against political prisoners.

The struggle for a free Palestine must be part of a broader struggle — that of all peoples against imperialism.

U.S. imperialism uses Zionism to control the peoples of the Middle East, conquer their lands, and plunder their resources.

U.S. imperialism uses NATO to control the peoples of the Global North and to drag them into its wars against the peoples of the Global South.

Our comrade Nick from Zannekinbond made a great speech reminding us of NATO’s historical role as an organization of assassins. He exposed the consequences of its policies for the peoples of the Global South as well as for those living in imperialist metropoles, and emphasized the necessity of organising to fight NATO.

We closed our activity with revolutionary Palestinian and Latin American songs, strengthening our commitment to international struggle.

In 2026, the United States, NATO, and Israel are pillaging, bombing, occupying and starving peoples across the world: Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Cuba, Venezuela, Ukraine, and beyond.

The United States and its armed wing, NATO, are enemies of humanity!

Belgium must leave NATO now!

Let us unite. Let us resist. We will smash NATO!

Long live the resistance of peoples to imperialism, Zionism and fascism!
