AROUND THE WORLD Anti-racist/ anti-fascist news SWEDEN AN attempt by Swedish fascists to celebrate the anniversary of the death of King Charles XII on November 30, 1992, in Stockholm and Lund was met with counter-demonstrations by anti-fascists. Some 3,000 anti-racists blocked the way to the 200 Nazis in Lund.

However in Stockholm, the counter-demonstration was banned as the mass media and the big political parties whipped up a campaign accusing anti-racists of provoking violence. Nevertheless, 2,000 succeeded in holding an anti-fascist rally. A time bomb was found in Kings' Garden where the rally took place.

The bookshop of the Socialist Party (SP - Swedish section of the Fourth International) was the object of an organized fascist attack; an appeal for funds has been launched. — Dick Forslund * SPANISH STATE FOLLOWING the racist murders of Hassan Al-Yahahaki, a Moroccan, and Lucrezia Perez from the Dominican Republic, protests took place throughout Spain. In the capital Madrid, 3,000 people demontrated in the neighbourhood where the murder took place while on November 21 some 15,000 marched through the city.

The following day a demonstration of 5,000 protested against the new antiforeigner law, while in Barcelona, on

November 29, some 60,000 took to the streets. — Pagina Abierta *
