DEM VOLKE DIENEN

We publish an unofficial translation of an article published by the Revolutionary Newspaper A Nova Democracia from Brazil.

Hundreds of peasants from the National Front of Struggle Countryside and City (FNL), between March 27 and 29, suffered forced evictions carried out by the military under the orders of the old State in benefit of the latifundium. The families resisted, held protests and part of them continue occupying the lands. The evictions took place in the municipality of Euclides Cunha in the state of São Paulo and in Pato Branco in the state of Paraná. Both illegal evictions did not respect the decision of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) to suspend evictions and evictions due to the pandemic until June 2022.

Vehicles arrive at the Carlos Marighella camp to evict the people.

PEASANTS RESIST EVICTION AT THE ROSA LUXEMBURGO CAMP

On March 27, dozens of peasants set fire to objects to block the road that gives access to PR-151. This was a protest against the eviction of 50 families carried out the same day at the Rosa Luxemburg encampment. The peasant families were occupying an area of 15 hectares, a latifundium belonging to the old state, in the region of Jardim Carvalho, located in the municipality of Pato Branco in Paraná.

The peasants also demanded the release of Leandro Dias, a regional leader of the FNL, who was taken to the 13th Police Sub-division to "answer questions about the occupation" after the resistance of the families against the eviction that took place in the camp.

The forced eviction was backed by the city government. Soldiers from the Military Police (PM) and the Civil Guard surrounded the camp with vehicles. The families resisted the police repression during the eviction action and proclaimed: "The people united will never be defeated!

Leandro Dias said that the place where the Rosa Luxemburgo Camp is located is an estate that has been abandoned for decades, and that could house around 700 families.

Zé Rainha, national leader of the FNL stated that: "Not all stuggles are won. The stuggles that are lost should serve as a lesson and a learning process. Zé Rainha also said: "In the fight for land there is no tie, either we defeat the landowners or we will be defeated by them. This is the character of the class. The leader also concluded that to defeat capitalism, a peasant and worker alliance is necessary in this struggle.

EVICTION OF CAMP CARLOS MARIGHELLA

On March 29, in benefit of the latifundium, the Euclides da Cunha City Hall called in military police who evicted 220 peasant families and destroyed the Carlos Marighella camp, located in the region of Pontal de Paranapanema, in the state of São Paulo.

The military police arrived at the camp around 7:45am. They stopped tractors and threatened the peasant families, saying that if by 12:30 they still had any kind of personal belongings of the workers, everything would be swept away and buried with the machines. The police destroyed all the shacks built by the families.

The camp was built in December 2021 by dozens of families who occupied an area of 12 thousand hectares of the latifundium, the former Ponte Branca ranch that belonged to Ênio Pipino, one of the settlers of the region in the 1940s, known for his violent persecution of peasants and indigenous people of the region.

According to the FNL, "the current resident of this region is the grandfather of Mayor Nene Lopes (Republicans), which explains the hurry and violence of the City Hall in demolishing the houses, and the resistance to the distribution of these public lands for agrarian reform.

In the working class district of Gröpelingen in Bremen, the Red Women's Committee Bremen distributed their leaflet against the imperialist war and its costs, which are now being passed on to the workers and the people. The leaflet was distributed in German, as well as in Arabic, Bulgarian and English, and hung up at local tram stops. For this purpose, the comrades carried a sign with the inscription: "Against passing on the costs of the war to the working class! For free local transport, abolition of the value added tax and assumption of the costs of electricity!" We have received pictures of the action, which we publish here.

We reproduce here an unofficial translation of a short article from the website socialistiskrevolution.wordpress.com from Denmark.

We have received documentation that leaflets of the Anti-Imperialist Collective, against the imperialist war and price increases, are being distributed in proletarian neighborhoods.

As part of the grand plan of the traffic light coalition for care, there should be, among other things, a renewed tax-free care bonus for care workers of up to € 3,000. Instead of implementing the right goals, such as above all higher wages or the equalisation of sick and long-term care, the complexity of how to implement this bonus has been discussed in the past months. As Green MP Janosch Dahmen put it, "What we want to avoid at all costs is that individuals who would have absolutely deserved the money end up not getting any money because we didn't do the law well in a hurry." So the draft law, which was actually planned for December, was postponed until it was presented by Mr Lauterbach at the end of March. The result for most carers is, surprise surprise, a joke that is intended to do one thing above all: divide the working class in the health system.

Comrades from France have published a statement, which can be found on the site nouvelleepoque.fr and causedupeuple.info.

On 06 April 2022, trade unions, progressive forces and also proletarian revolutionaries in Greece called for a 24-hour nationwide general strike. The whole country was at a standstill, at least as far as work was concerned. For tens of thousands were on the streets and took part in the demonstrations and strike rallies. Nevertheless, the general strike generally fell far short of its mobilisation potential, mainly because the opportunist trade unions and parties like Syriza lost more and more of their influence among the masses because they are hypocritical traitors to the workers.

In the following we publish an inofficial translation of an article by the Columbian revolutionary website El Comunero - Prensa Popular that was sent to us. The article is about actions in solidarity with the struggle of the Ukranian people.

Death to imperialism! Long live the revolution! - Propaganda in solidarity with the Ukrainian people

Today, 06 April 2022, a general strike is taking place in Greece. Apart from the trade unions, revolutionary organisations have also called for the strike and mobilised massively.
