The FdCA's 25th anniverary celebrations

On 29 and 30 October 2011, the Federazione dei Comunisti Anarchici celebrated its 25th anniversary in Cremona - where it was founded in 1986 - thanks to the hospitality of the comrades from the CSA Kavarna social centre.

On the evening of the 29th, the party was attended by around a hundred comrades from various parts of Italy and was sprinkled with speeches alternating with numerous toasts, with wine from bottles bearing a special FdCA label for the occasion. Among some of the speakers were Gino Caraffi for the National Secretariat, Khader Musallam for the Fano/Pesaro branch and Fabrizio Acanfora for the Genoa branch, all of whom joined the Federation at various stages through the years. There were also speeches from founding member Beppe Oldani from the Cremonese federation and another founding member Donato Romito on behalf of the Centro di Documentazione "Franco Salomone".

The evening was also enlivened by the wonderful voice of Mara Redighieri (ex-vocalist with the band Üstmamò), whose repertory included some wonderfully original versions of anarchist songs, to the great delight of the enthusiastic audience.

The FdCA wishes to thank our sister organizations who sent their greetings, such as the Zabalaza Anarchist Communist Front from South Africa, the Workers Solidarity Alliance from the USA, the Federación Anarquista Uruguaya, Organización Socialista Libertaria and Colectivo Libertario Anarquista from Uruguay, and also the Federación Comunista Libertaria (Chile), the Unión Socialista Libertaria (Peru), Libertäre Aktion Winterthur (Switzerland) and Ilan Shalif of the Israeli Anarchists Against the Wall (apologies if any are missing), with whom we share the struggle and work towards the strengthening of the class-struggle anarchist movement.

The FdCA would also like to thank all those who remained in Cremona until the next day, when around 50 comrades held a lively, open-mike debate on the subject of "The crisis, the movements and direct democracy". The debate was opened by a speaker from the FdCA and continued with innumerable contributions from those present and dealt very thoroughly with the current situation and the prospects for the future from the point of view of political work and social mobilization in the community and throughout the country against the crisis, for the libertarian alternative.
