Hamburg: Rally against massacre in Brazil and repression in Mexico
On February 8th, the Alliance Against Imperialist Aggression held a rally to denounce the massacre of several poor peasants in the Brazilian state of Rondina and the threats to the people's resistance against the Interoceanic Corridor of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec (CIIT) in the municipality of Rincón Tagolaba (Rinconcito) in Tehuantepec, Oaxaca (Mexico). The Alliance Against Imperialist Aggression had called for the rally after the threats to the people's resistance against the imperialist mega-project in Mexico became known. Shortly after, the massacre of the poor peasants in Brazil also became known, so the Alliance Against Imperialist Aggression updated its call and immediately denounced these cruel murders by the Brazilian state and its police.

Security Council like the Yankees? A first "National Security Strategy" of the FRG
The Munich Security Conference will take place between February 17 and 19. Originally, Foreign Minister Baerbock wanted to present the first "National Security Strategy" of the FRG, on which the Foreign Ministry has been working for a year. As of now this will probably be delayed for some time still. However, since the topic has been on everyone's lips in recent weeks, there were once again calls from various quarters of the bourgeois press at the beginning of the year calling for a so-called "National Security Council" Yankee-style. In January, the heads of the state chancelleries of the federal states met at a crisis meeting to discuss this matter further, while at the same time the heads of the traffic light coalition tried to settle their differences behind closed doors.

AND Weekly Editorial – The mathematics of capitulation to the militaristic reactionaries
We piblish a english translation of the weekly editorial of the revolutionary and democratic newspaper A Nova Democracia from Brasil.
Much noise was made when Luiz Inácio fired, on the 21st, some 80 military personnel serving at the Planalto and the then Army Commander, Júlio César de Arruda, replacing him with Tomás Miguel Ribeiro Paiva. Some, dizzy with the blind belief in the “stability” of bourgeois democracy and the country’s rotten institutions, and that Yankee imperialism “will not permit a coup,” went so far as to proclaim that the effective “Lula government” was being inaugurated, without the tutelage of the Armed Forces. Luiz Inácio proclaimed that he distrusted the Armed Forces, that he wanted a Cabinet of Institutional Security (GSI) without military staff, and played games for the audience that he would not accept military assistants (and soon after, would have them), in a staging that he would not submit to “military power,” to try to restrict the generals’ room for maneuver through isolation in public opinion.

Hamburg: Manifestation against the aggression against Palestine
Revolutionaries, anti-imperialists and masses from different countries gathered in Hamburg on Saturday 04 February 2023 to demonstrate against the recent massacres and bombardments carried out by Israel against the Palestinian people. Speeches were made strongly condemning the recent attacks on Gaza and the military operation in Jenin in which 10 Palestinians were killed. To this end, in the past few days, Israeli forces stormed several sections in different prisons, arbitrarily transferred many prisoners, prevented any kind of visits and locked a large number of prisoners in solitary confinement. On 31 January 2023, the prison authorities stormed Al Damoon prison and attacked mainly female prisoners. These crimes were also highlighted in speeches at the Manifestation. In addition, the criminalisation of the Palestinian movement here in Germany was also discussed, as the Berlin state government wants to ban all gatherings on Nakba Day for the umpteenth time. Different internationalist and anti-imperialist organisations spoke, as well as Arab masses expressing their class hatred against the oppression of the Palestinian people.
