In remembrance
CompassCollective has lost a friend. Vincent was the founder of the Aurora – Group de Suport and, together with other colleagues, achieved tremendous things. His team and he were a great support for us in Burriana.
Anarchist, inclusive, emancipatory: Vincent was radical in his thoughts and actions. For him, sea rescue was political – just as it is for us.
We will miss him and wish Aurora – Group de Suport much strength to continue fighting.
