Release - MRAX is in danger!

In sixty years of existence, the Movement against Racism, Anti-Semitism and Xenophobia has gained a say on what goes on in detention centers, today it can bring, ask an expert as regards matters of racism and exclusion, invite themselves in committees and spheres of consultations. MRAX garnered sympathy capital and symbolic power out of the ordinary. We can not allow ourselves to let go of this wonderful tool to fight his loss!

Today the Board of MRAX excludes members of MRAX of substantive debate on MRAX. A shame!

Despite repeated requests from members of MRAX and its employees, the Board finds it unnecessary to have an open debate before the General Assembly on the latest pronouncements undemocratic movement, nor it finds it necessary to discuss its neutrality lost (mainly because of participation in activities of MRAX propaganda for the benefit of the Moroccan authorities) and the mismanagement of working relationships with staff.

Instead, the Council proposes to organize the April 21, a meeting reserved for members, which would therefore exclude the majority of contributors.

We, members and supporters MRAX can not accept that the fundamental debates on the functioning of the organization are carried out democratic bodies under the Regulations.

In defiance of numerous arrests consistently remained unanswered, it does not appear serious yet dodge taken responsibility to ensure that MRAX can continue to operate in accordance with its principles and societal goals.

is why we go to this meeting to express our total solidarity with employees of MRAX, and the Board of Directors announce that we will not participate in the debate on the merits outside of the General Assembly, but we demand that the Assembly be convened as soon as possible.

We believe that legitimate and indispensable members can participate in a focus on the guiding principles of MRAX, which in the eyes of some of the more important anti-racist movement, have too often been undermined his last month by its management and its Board of Directors.
