Currently there is a wave of strikes in different parts of the FRG. The main reason for this is the demand for higher wages.

A painting was made at the University of Hamburg with the slogans "Justicia para Jesús Manuel García Martínez y Filogonio Martínez Merino!" and "Viva el Corriente del Pueblo Sol Rojo!" ("Justice for Jesús Manuel García Martínez and Filogonio Martínez Merino! Long live the popular current Sol Rojo!"). The painting honours the two Mexican comrades Jesús Manuel García Martínez and Filogonio Martínez Merino, who were murdered by the reaction on 26 and 27 October.

Last week, two left-wing activists were sentenced in Stuttgart for their alleged involvement in the so-called Stuttgart riot night.

On October 24, there was a large-scale police presence in Rellinghauser Straße in Essen, right next to the main train station. The reason is said to have been an alleged spontaneous rally by angry workers after nine workers were fired.
