Dublin – Sunday the 22nd of January brought forth comrades from Flanders and France for a solidarity benefit and information night in support of the Afrikaner peoples hosted by Solidariteit-Identiteit in conjunction with the Dublin branch of the cultural organisation Studia Europae. The conference, the first event of the year for Studia Europae, was well attended by a mixed audience of both young and old from right across Ireland and indeed by a number of very welcome guests from other movements elsewhere in Europe.
Solidariteit-Identiteit is the Flanders based affiliate of Solidarite-Identites, a French non-profit organisation with friendly ties to CasaPound Italia, whose aim is to provide help and support to peoples struggling for their survival, the preservation of their culture and the defence of their identity.
The weekend kicked off with a number of small informal gatherings throughout the capital before the main event on Sunday. During the event a talk was delivered by a representative of Solidariteit-Identiteit followed by a discussion period over some food and drink.
Our friends from Solidariteit-Identiteit were very impressed with the Dublin meeting – this being a first time in Ireland for one – and by the level of support received from their Irish audience. A fundraiser and merchandise sale helped to raise a generous sum for the organisation whose tremendous work for the Afrikaner community does not go unnoticed by comrades here in Ireland.
As usual, Studia Europae had on sale a number of publications and music titles – both proving very popular.
Studia Europae and Folk Advance Éireann would like to thank all those who attended giving both their time and money towards a great cause. Special thanks to our overseas comrades who were in attendance.
Beir Bua!
