Une pétition de soutien aux universitaires de Pologne pour protester contre la promotion, au sein même des universités, des discours de haine de l’extrême-droite contre les musulmans, les Ukrainiens, les minorités LGBT et les droits des femmes. J’ai signé. https://t.co/a41AZz7qK1
We, international scholars, artists, journalists and activists, deplore the brutal infiltration of Marie Curie-Sklowdowska University in Lublin, Poland by far-right ideas and practises, as evidenced by granting a Marie-curie medal to a prominent misogynist homophobe.
The general election in Poland has brought with it a wave of ultra-nationalist far-right social prejudice that is working its way into the institutions of Poland.
This is a blatant attempt to normalize misogyny, homophobia, xenophobia and racism. That kind of infiltration is demonstrated by the way the governor of the Lublin area, Przemysław Czarnek, an outspoken far-right bigot, has been singled out for honours over the heads of university departments. (...)
Progressive employees and students are being subjected to an intensifying hate campaign and take this opportunity to appeal for solidarity with progressive forces across Europe and in the UK, as well as in the Americas and South Africa. We have circulated a letter of protest in local and national newspapers, to express a shared disgust at the normalization of these orejudiced views, and we urge you to express solidarity with us by signing and sharing this petition.
Thank you.
