During his stay in Algeria (1882) Karl Marx had expressed his wish of linking Kabylia to Europe to spread its egalitarian and libertarian culture.
Karl Marx’s wish now seems to become a reality.
The EFA (European Free Alliance) is an alliance of European “peoples without states” parties, some of which are regionalist other autonomists and other independentists, such as Scotland, Catalonia, Corsica, Flanders and Silesia among other nations. On the representative level they are the future of the political chessboard of a Europe sick of its nation-states.
The content of the agreement between Kabylia and the alliance stipulates that the signatories of the document will mutually assist each other and “to raise the voice” of the other where possible. It is a very good opportunity for Kabylia to find other channels of expressions and other tribunes to emerge.
