On the 25th of December, Alberto Fujimori, former president of Peru and convicted for genocide (by the reactionary old peruvian state!), got released by the current yankee lackey president of Peru, Pedro Pablo Kuczynski. This release is no surprise and elaborated for a long time. The Communist Party of Peru wrote in their declaration on occasion of the centenary of the Great Socialist October Revolution:
"The Yankee PPK has recently met with the United Nations representative of foreign affairs issues and plans of their "Human Rights" (HR), which are nothing but the rights of the bourgeoisie and to guarantee the crimes of the old Peruvian state, he said that the UN told him to submit the genocide Fujimori to an examination of international doctors; for what? To give the pardon. They guarantee the genocides of the bureaucratic way and want to fulfil their main counter-revolutionary task of destroying the PW and the CPP."

The following is a documentation of an article published by austrian antifascists that we gladly share:

About 8000 people gave the protests against the new ÖVP/FPÖ government a lively and struggling first impulse. They participated in several demonstrations which joint together at the Heldenplatz for a big manifestation. Thousands expressed in a struggling way and also unanounced demonstrations, their justified anger. Paroles against fascism and exploitation like “Alerta, Alerta, Antifascista“ or “rebellion is justified – do not believe the lies of the exploiters!”, as well as paroles against the dismantlement of the educational system, deportations and against capitalism where shouted by the demonstrators. Many participants saw clear that in this struggle the direction must also targeted against the planned antidemocratic attacks by the ruling class. Especially young students brought their demands to the demonstration in a very lively way.

On Tuesday, after in a surprise move preponing the vote, Argentine congress passed a new bill that further reduces pensions and social welfare benefits by a significant margin. This attempt made by the government to pre-emptively take the wind out of any potential protester’s sails by preponing however, horrible backfired for them. Tens of thousands of people protested against the proposal. For many hours thousands attacked the police in front of the congress building in Buenos Aires.

In December 6, around 90 indigenous peoples have occupied the General-Advocacy of the Union (AGU) office in Brasilia, Federal District, capital of Brazil. They demanded the revocation of the “Time Milestone” thesis in the delimitation of indigenous areas process. Also in November 23 hundreds of indigenous peoples from 17 different peoples made a demonstration in the streets of the capital.

Since the approval of the sentence 001/2017 by the federal management under Temer/PMDB in July 19, 2017 several demonstrations and road blocks has been made by many different peoples countrywide.

According to this thesis the indigenous peoples and quilombola peoples can only demand the lands they were occupying since October 5th 1988, the date of the Federal Constitution proclamation. This thesis was developed in the judiciary to support the landlords, ignoring their historical secular actions in evicting the indigenous and quilombola peoples from the lands of the country.

This thesis is a fierce attack on the indigenous and quilombola people’s rights to land and a declaration of war against them. Since Temer got into the presidency not a single indigenous land was delimitated or homologated.

The agrarian situation sharpens and more than ever is clear that this state can offer no alternative to the right of land to the tiller and for the indigenous and quilombola peoples. The only solution that arises is the agrarian revolution as part of the new democracy revolution to sweep away definitively the rotten landlord class of the country and crush the semifeudality, present in the root of every relation of production in the country.
