It is with a heavy heart that we share the death of Petra Krause, in the early hours of the morning, this April 2 in Milan. Born in 1939, Petra became politically active in the 1960s and engaged during the 1970s as a revolutionary internationalist in the struggles of various countries. She sought to connect the different political and strategic points of view of the time, from Spain to Northern Europe, and distinguished herself as a revolutionary through her practice in the field. It also links her to the revolutionary forces in Switzerland, where she was arrested in 1975 and kept under the torturer regime of solitary confinement. In prison, she confronts the enemy with determination, manages to establish a connection between the inside and a vast campaign outside, this has created a close political bond with her.
Extradited to Italy, she was released in 1977, through her role in linking various revolutionary approaches, from France to Greece, including during her period of clandestinity, when she tried to confront the forces that sought to abandon the revolutionary struggle, both theoretical and practical. Today, we pay homage to the revolutionary path she traced and continue to follow her in our practice, in the struggle for an internationalist, revolutionary and communist perspective.
