No Pasaran
"They shall not pass" (French: Ils ne passeront pas and French: On ne passe pas; Romanian: Pe aici nu se trece; Spanish: No pasarán) is a slogan, notably used by France in World War I, to express a determination to defend a position against an enemy. Its Spanish-language form was also used as an anti-fascist slogan during the Spanish Civil War by the Republican faction. Dolores Ibárruri used the slogan to rally the Republican defenders of Madrid against Francisco Franco's nationalist forces. The phrase became an enduring symbol of anti-fascist resistance worldwide.
