Finland
The comrades at Punalippu (Red Flag) report that in the city of Tampere, the anniversary of the Finnish Revolution of 1918 was commemorated with the Red Flag at the grave of the comrades and posters were seen in Tampere with the text “Long live Red Finland!” and “Death to White Finland!”

In the following we want to give a short brief on the recent actions, (suspected) carried out by the New People´s Army(NPA) on the Philippines.

After Angela Merkel offered the help of the army to the federal states, a massive additional contingent of soldiers will be deployed once again in Baden Württemberg, as in many other states.

In Baden Württemberg alone, up to 900 soldiers will be deployed across 68 missions. Some until the beginning of July and two of unlimited duration.
The gains the state wants to make from this are manifold:
-first, the Bundeswehr as compensation for the ailing health care system, since it was not considered necessary to take care of the health care system even since the beginning of the pandemic. Here the Bundeswehr, there some state of emergency, all mobilizations to temporarily cope with the next challenge. The German state is not at all in a position to guarantee adequate health care for the population.
-Secondly, the reputation of the Bundeswehr is to be raised again. It should be seen as a helper. As if that would make up for the fact that it murders abroad for the economic interests of the imperialists.
-third, the deployment of the Bundeswehr in the interior is normalized. The masses are gradually accustomed to ever greater presence in order to normalize the state of emergency and keep down rebellion against it.
-fourth, the armed forces of the German imperialists take on informer tasks, in this case contact surveillance "in the sense of fighting the pandemic." In this way, the Bundeswehr takes on areas in which it has no business and gains access to data that is otherwise denied to them for good reason.
No matter how "reasonable" the stated reason may seem at first: we don't need soldiers on the streets, but more nursing staff and a health care system that serves us and not the bosses.

The farmers' protests in India, which have been going on for two months, came to a head in the capital New Delhi on Tuesday. Striking farmers managed to make their way into the cordoned-off city center after previously camping out on the outskirts of the capital.

In the district of Tepecik (Konak) in the Izmir region, the police cut off the electricity to the Roma living there, who could no longer pay their bills, in the wake of a raid. The residents protested with gas lamps and tubes against being deprived of the basis for illumination, but especially also for heaters, in the midst of winter.

For days now, there have been protests by students and pupils in various French cities.They are protesting against the measures imposed by the government, which are harming young people on many levels. For example, since September, schools in France have been left open without adequate health protection.

Militarily, U.S. imperialism has largely failed in its goal of wresting Syria from Russian imperialism and expanding its own dominance. However, the fact that the regime under Assad has regained control over large parts of the country is no reason for the Yankees to give up completely. As recently as June 2020, in the midst of the Corona Pademie, they imposed the „Caesar Act“. It means economic sanctions on any person or company around the world doing business, of any kind, with Syria.

Kampkomiteen (The struggle committee) lead a demonstration in the town of Lillesand, close to Kristiansand. Why, because three daughters from a family of African background, experienced racist bullying and violence. The local school did not want to confront the problem and instead told the children to stay inside during breaks and were sent home by taxi.
