Petition Condemn and investigate far-right group ‘White Vanguard’ in Wales
We call on the Welsh Government to condemn and take action against White Vanguard, whose members have joined weekly demonstrations outside the Holiday Inn Express in Rhoose, which is housing Afghan families who are here legally under a Government resettlement scheme. The group displays antisemitic slogans, performs Nazi salutes, and spreads racist conspiracy theories, threatening community safety and cohesion.
More details
The continued racist demonstrations in Rhoose have caused fear among residents and community groups. The loud and abusive protests threaten Afghan families, people of all backgrounds, and those welcoming refugees. Demonstrators have performed Nazi salutes, chanted vile abuse, and endangered public safety. The threat has grown with the arrival of White Vanguard, whose masked members carried Nazi symbols and antisemitic slogans.
While proscribing extremist groups is a UK Home Office matter, we call on the Welsh Government to:
• Urge the UK Government to investigate and proscribe White Vanguard
• Publicly condemn neo-Nazi activity in Wales
• Work with South Wales Police and councils to address far-right intimidation
• Support communities through anti-racism and safeguarding initiatives
We urge the Senedd to show that hate has no place in Wales.
