Last week in Mannheim, an rally of Islamophobic chauvinists was attacked by a man with a knife. During the attack, several people were injured with the knife, including a police officer who subsequently died of his injuries in hospital.

We recently reported on the repression of the old Turkish state against the Partizan readers, who were arrested and partly tortured by the police in the context of the commemoration of the Communist leader Ibrahim Kaypakkaya in mid-May.

This wave of repression is now also continuing against the prisoners of the May Day demonstration.We wrote about the events on May Day in our brief overview of May Day worldwide:"42,000 police officers were sent onto the streets in Istanbul to brutally suppress the Turkish masses fighting on May Day. Fierce fighting broke out on Taksim Square, barricades were built, and the henchmen of the old state used rubber bullets and pepper spray. So far, countless people, including 6 Partizan readers, are still under arrest."

When you talk to people these days, you often hear that we are living in a kind of "dystopia". That's not wrong if you look at what imperialism is trying to do in its decline to keep itself alive for a few more years. And often enough, we have already become accustomed to many forms of oppression. For example, we write relatively often about the surveillance of the German state and how it is constantly expanding it. But how often do we notice this surveillance in everyday life?

In the last week, a law was decided in Saarland, which is supposed to promote stronger participation of children and youths in political decisions. In the end, this "participation" is only a participation in the sense of the bourgeoisie.

 

El pasado viernes 17 de mayo tuvo lugar una manifestación frente al consulado chileno en Bremen, así como el lunes 20 de mayo frente al Consulado General de Chile en Hamburgo.

 

Inicialmente las manifestaciones estaban pensadas para presionar al estado chileno que amenazaba con desalojar la Toma 17 de Mayo. Después de que la banda de asesinos del estado chileno, los carabineros, desalojaran la toma violentamente, las manifestaciones se centraron en denunciar este crimen.

Once again there has been repression against Partizan readers in Turkey. Last Saturday, on May 18, there was a commemoration of the anniversary of the assassination of communist leader Ibrahim Kaypakkaya in the Istanbul district of Kadıköy. Twenty-one youths and young adults were taken into custody.

On May 20, the Red League – Hamburg (Roter Bund – Hamburg) called for a rally in front of the Chilean consulate in Hamburg. The rally was originally planned to put pressure on the Chilean government, which was threatening to evict the Toma 17 de Mayo. Now that the murderous gangs of the old Chilean state, the Carabineros, have enforced the eviction with extreme brutality and the burning down of the settlement, the rally focused on denouncing this crime. Other anti-imperialist forces, such as Young Struggle, Network Freedom for All Political Prisoners and some anti-imperialist-minded people joined the rally.
