Herbert Reul, Minister of the Interior in North Rhine-Westphalia and especially known for his "zero tolerance" policy against "clan criminality" under which especially people in working-class neighborhoods and not organized lumpen suffer, has presented this week a new leadership strategy of the police in North Rhine-Westphalia. The WDR report on this focuses primarily on points of the new leadership strategy, which is to be about the future prevention of "extremist" i.e. fascist standpoints in the police and more transparency. Thus, in the future, there should be more supervisions, monitoring, employee interviews and coaching in the police forces of the federal state. In addition, the strategy paper addresses issues such as addiction and the recognition of "anti-democratic tendencies" among police officers.

After a month-long stalemate, the governing parties have finally achieved and agreed on a compromise on the so-called basic child security. In addition to the government's obvious and well-known inability, it is also striking in this respect that poverty is in no way reduced, limited or even combated by the new regulations.

In early August, the Springer (BILD etc.) press and various AfD-affiliated blogs, etc., once again ran big chauvinistic headlines about a "criminal migrant" being protected by the German state.

Ecuador:
In the run-up to the legislative and presidential elections in Ecuador, the first round of which took place on August 20, a deadly confrontation has occurred within the Ecuadorian big bourgeoisie between bureaucratic faction and the comprador faction. On August 9, Fernando Villavicencio, a presidential candidate in the upcoming elections who according to Ecuadorian comrades represents the comprador bourgeoisie, was assassinated in an assassination attempt. Before the assassination, the candidate had reported receiving threats from the "Los Choneros" cartel, but an opposing group called "Los Lobos" claimed responsibility for the attack. According to a statement by the "Front for the Defense of Popular Struggles in Ecuador," the assassination of Villavicencio is an expression of the serious crisis in which the country finds itself. They further state that the elections, which were brought forward by the incumbent President Lasso, are an expression of the need for Yankee imperialism to reposition itself in the region in times of developing inter-imperialist contradiction with Chinese social imperialism and Russian imperialism.
