On Wednesday, December 20, a large contingent of 170 officers raided alleged members of Zora, who according to investigations by state security are accused of distributing a flyer and uploading a post on Instagram referring to "progressive forces such as the PFLP".

The Interbüro and Karanfil -places of political and cultural encounters - were also searched and completely vandalized. In addition to five young people between the ages of 18 and 23, there was also a raid on a 67-year-old man who allegedly posted the PFLP symbol on Facebook. On the occasion of this, we have received the following action report:

For seven months now, retail workers in North Rhine-Westphalia have been in a wage dispute with the bosses of the so-called German Retail Association.While the trade association wants to force the strikers, who are represented by Verdi, to the negotiating table, the union speaks of a "wage dictate" and "blackmail". The reason for this is that the labor buyers want to get the employees to agree to a collective bargaining offer on December 28 at the federal level in a pilot agreement in Hamburg. Prior to this, however, the trade association refused to agree to regional wage negotiations for months.

Saturday afternoon, the 16th of December another (comparatively) large Demonstration in solidarity with the struggle of the people of Palestine was organized in Freiburg. “Palestine Speaks Freiburg” is organizing these roughly bi-weekly ever since the city allows this type of “event” again.

In the last few weeks, there have been some large police operations in Saarbrücken during soccer matches, resulting in attacks on fans by the police, but also in solidarity and resistance against the police.
