Petition Condemn and investigate Left wing group ‘Antifa’ in Wales
We call on the Welsh Government to condemn and take action against “Antifa”. Anti-fascist protestors/representatives have joined weekly demonstrations outside the Holiday Inn Express in Rhoose, which is housing Afghan families who are here under a Government resettlement scheme.
The group displays anti-fascist signs, performs anti-fascist chants, and spreads false anti-fascist conspiracy theories, threatening the indigenous Welsh community safety and cohesion within Wales.
More details
During a Reform UK event in Caerphilly (Oct 2025), Antifa-aligned activists reportedly intimidated attendees, vandalised property, and defaced posters with Nazi symbols.
Similar left-wing protests in Rhoose have strained police resources, diverting funds from essential Welsh services. Antifa frequently suppresses free speech by labelling nationalist or indigenous voices as “fascist,” while engaging in abuse and violent behaviour.
Past incidents, such as the 2014 Cardiff clashes during a pro-Palestine protest, show how such demonstrations can escalate into public disorder.
Protesters have even allegedly mimed threats toward children without police action. Some left-wing protesters are accused of supporting proscribed extremist groups.
We call on the Welsh Government to condemn Antifa activity, urge the UK Government to investigate and proscribe it, cooperate with police and councils to counter intimidation, and safeguard community cohesion. Antifa and any group silencing others have no place in Wales.
