Rexhino ”Gino” Abazaj is an anti-fascist activist, currently imprisoned in France and fighting against an extradition request to Hungary. Putinist right-wing government of Hungary tries to imprison randomly any people who participated to anti-fascist demonstration in Budapest in February 2023, with a flimsy evicence.
Father Frost against Putin -festival was organized second time in 2015 in Helsinki, and Gino joined an adjacent event with presentations on anti-eviction struggles in Milan, and No TAV movement of Susa valley in Italy.
We now republish his presentation, that has been offline for almost 8 years, to point out long-term commitment of Gino to unite struggles in Finland, Italy and all around the world.
Few minutes are missing from the beginning, the quality of the video and recording is not up to the current standards. But in case you want to know what Gino was up to 10 years ago, and how people of Milan resisted evictions back then, please listen!
You may follow anti-extradition struggle of Gino in Instagram page @free_gino_libero (use autotranslation if you do not speak Italian), @liberez_gino (use autotranslation if you do not speak French) and campaigns for other Budapest prisoners from @freebudapesttwo and @free_all_antifas (use autoranslation in case you do not speak German).

Anti-eviction struggles in Milan
There are around 4000 flats occupied for housing purposes in Milan. Authorities have threaten to evict 200 of these every months, and as a measure against it, anti-eviction
breakfasts have been organized. Demonstrations, marches, neighborhood and town meetings have been organized on daily basis.
