On 17 November 2022, thousands demonstrated in the streets of the Greek capital Athens and in numerous other cities to commemorate the 49th anniversary of the student uprising against the military regime in 1973. The demonstrators marched through the city centre towards the US embassy, chanting slogans such as "The people dont want you!" and demanding the withdrawal of US troops from Greece. Greece was then, as it is now, an important base for the US army. Among the Greek people, however, the Yankee troops repeatedly meet with pure hatred, which is expressed again and again in large demonstrations all over the country. The most recent demonstration was in the spring of this year when it was decided to station more military equipment in Greece.

In order to better follow the changes in Brazil caused, among other things, by the presidential election farce in which the Pelegão [corrupt official] Luis Inacío (candidate of the PT- Partido dos Trabalhadores, an opportunist party) narrowly won in the second round, we publish an unofficial translation of the weekly editorial of the newspaper A NOVADEMOCRACIA that was sent to us:

With the conclusion of the bourgeois parliamentary elections, it seems that the turn out was in favour of the Social Democrats, who now wishes to seek a government “across the middle”. What can we expect of this new government? The function of a new government like this will be the centralisation of power in favour of the executive branch of the state and even greater power to already the most powerful prime minister seen since the fascist occupation of 1940. The centralisation of power in the executive branch is something typically seen once a country starts to militarise, which is something the former government did and that the upcoming government for sure will continue to do. Our class can expect nothing positive from this new government. These representatives of the bourgeoisie will continue on with the greatest militarisation of the country seen since the Second World War, preparing to unleash new imperialist wars, whilst letting the oppressed countries, the people’s of the world and the proletariat of Denmark carry the cost of the militarisation and the crisis.
