Bruxelles, Secours Rouge International, circa 1971; 630/500 mm, one sheet, printed in black and red. In the 1970s, in full expansion of the extreme left in Belgium, with the aim of coming to the aid of activists arrested during demonstrations and strikes, a first Secours Rouge had already appeared (in February-March 1971). This was framed by Trotskyists from the Socialist Young Guard (youth organization of the Revolutionary Workers' League, LRT, today's LCR) and Maoists from the Union Factory University organization, All Power to the Workers and the Marxist-Leninist Communist Party of Belgium. This poster announces a paid evening in support organized in the early 70s, with the presence and the assistance of Jean-Paul Sartre who was trying to organize a section of the Secours Rouge International in France. Rare document on the period agitated by the extreme left of the end of the 60s, beginning of the 70s. Testimony of the cobblestones and the beach.
