Echoes of the Class War (Sep 2)

Basque Country: Leitza mayor, Oier Eizmendi, to trial for alleged "apology of ETA". He only showed his sympathy for Basque prisoners, often on mere ideological charges, deported hundreds of kilometers away from home (there are thousands of witnesses) ··> Ateak Ireki[eu].

France: Nazi style deportation of Roma citizens. A hundred Romani people were forcibly transported in a special train from a camp in Northern Paris. As the Nazis and their Vichy collaborators (who now man the French right wing bloc in power) did in the 1940s, adults and children were transported separately. And to ice the cake, they were transported by a train line that was historically used for Nazi genocidal deportations in the past ··> SA[es].
