Saint-Imier 2023: The International Anarchist Meetings

From collettivoanarchico by FAI International Relations Commission

This summer, one of the most important international anarchist meetings of recent years, the Rencontres Internationales Antiautoritaires (RIA) “Anarchy 2023”, took place in Saint-Imier (Switzerland), from 19 to 23 July. Thousands of people from different continents participated, although a significant part came from French and German-speaking Europe. As the Italian Anarchist Federation – FAI, we have taken part in the meeting’s organizational process since 2020, and we attended with a large delegation, actively contributing by proposing debates, setting up an exhibition and holding a stand of Umanità Nova and Zero in Condotta editions in the book fair.
