On the occasion of May Day there were actions, marches and rallies in the whole Ruhr area. We would like to report on a few of them here.
At the Revolutionary Eve Demonstration on April 30, as in the previous year, about 300 demonstrators marched militantly with loud slogans and pyrotechnics from downtown Duisburg to the working-class district of Hochfeld. The demonstration was organized and attended by an alliance of various revolutionary groups and organizations from all over NRW. In the many speeches, the current crisis and the war of aggression in Ukraine by Russian imperialism was often mentioned. However, all participants came to the conclusion that a revolutionary upheaval is needed to overcome the imperialist system, which only provides exploitation and oppression. Proletarian revolutionaries from Turkey and FRG participated with a common banner with the slogan: "Out for May Day! - Down with the imperialist war", flyers were distributed alongside. In slogans the advancing militarization was denounced and the struggle against imperialism was called for.
In the night of May Day, red flags with hammer and sickle appeared in Düsseldorf, Bochum, Wuppertal and Essen. In Wuppertal among others in the immediate vicinity of the birthplace of the great teacher of the proletariat Friedrich Engels on.
