70 Gora feminist and LGTBIQ+ groups have denounced the "lynching campaign" against the Bernedo colonies
Some 70 feminist groups and LGTBIQ+have denounced the "lynching campaign" being carried out against the organization of the summer camps in Bernedo (Álava), Euskal Udalekuak. Thecomplainants include Egham, Euskal Herriko Gazte Feministak and EH Bilgune Feminista .
The signatories tothe text have denounced the "lies" that some media and political parties are spreading about these summer camps. They have also criticized the "lynching campaign" that they are carrying out as a strategy that combines "machismo, transphobia, sensationalism, fascism and racism." They have also denounced the "total impunity" that they are carrying out. In the face ofthis situation, they have expressed their "support and solidarity" with the monitors and the community in these colonies and have condemned the "direct attacks".
According to the signatories, "transgender feminists, reactionary sectors in general, and the extreme right have used the shower and bathrooms of the Bernedo colonies as a pretext for the explicit and organized implementation of the machinery of the system that oppresses us every day." In this regard, they have stated that "feminist movements, LGTBIQ+ and anti-racist movements have long fought against the moralization and puritanism of sex and nudity, against binarism and for transfeminist education."
"These lynching campaigns and organized attacks are part of an entire reactionary wave that is spreading to the left and right," they add. "Like attacks on the Euskera or the criminalization of the labor movement, transphobia, misogyny and racism are also part of the same reactionary wave, and they are often not given the same importance," they say. Eta have shown that "the ultra-right uses messages against feminism, sexual dissidents or the fight of racialized people to achieve male adherence."
For the signatories, these colonies have been "just an excuse to spread a transphobic and reactionary view of the world and to attack those fighting it."
