The European Solidarity Front for Syria (ESFS) is one of the most prominent
pro-Assad groups affiliated with the far-right, as a coalition of political
activists who organise delegations to Syria in support of the Assad government.
“The European Solidarity Front is open to all those who love Syria, and support
solidarity with President Assad, the Syrian nation and its army,” the group said
in a 2013 statement.
“The main founders of this project are from Italy,
Greece, Cyprus, Belgium, the Netherlands, Finland and Spain, but we quickly
found enthusiastic support from a number of militants activate in different
countries, and more specifically in Poland, France, Czech Republic, Romania,
Ireland, Serbia, Great Britain, Scotland, Malta, Ukraine, Denmark, Sweden,
Canada and Argentina.” Among the supporters of the group are CasaPound, an
Italian neo-fascist youth organisation, who hosted a conference for the group in
Italy and who have become notorious for carrying out attacks on migrants and
left-wingers in the country.
In September 2013 an Italian delegation from
ESFS travelled to Syria “in support of the legitimate government of Bashar Al
Assad and the Syrian people,” meeting with the Syrian prime minister, deputy
foreign minister and members of the ultra-nationalist Syrian Social-Nationalist
Party. Another supporter of the ESFS is the National Rebirth of Poland who have
been notorious for attacking Jews, Roma and LGBT people in Poland and who on one
campaign poster printed the slogan: “Fascism? We are worse!”
