This is an unnofficial translation of the article which was published in the 209th issue of the A Nova Democracia newpaper in Brasil
The Day of Proletarian Internationalism was full of protests and violent rebellions in several countries. Especially in France and Turkey, there was clashes between demonstrators and repression forces.
In Paris, the French capital, more than 55,000 demonstrators, thousands with faces covered - among students, youth and workers - took to the streets on a day of general rebellion. Large stores, banks, car shops and other monopoly facilities had their showcase destroyed. The young workers also called slogans like "Everybody Hates the Police!" and Paris, rebel !. The protest was called by unions to celebrate the First of May.
The imperialist government's response was again repression. More than 200 people were arrested by police officers who used tear gas and rubber bullets to try to disperse the demonstration, but without success. In response, vehicles form the shops and other objects were used as burning barricades. The frightened French press monopoly called the protests "a war scenario" and a "battle."

Eurooppalaisten marxilais-leniniläis-maolaisten puolueiden ja järjestöjen ensimmäisen kokouksen julkilausuma
”Todellinen internationalismi voi olla vain uhrautuvaista työtä vallankumouksellisen liikkeen ja vallankumouksen taistelun kehittämiseksi omassa maassa, tämän taistelun, tämän linjan ja vain sen tukemista (propagandalla, myötämielisyydellä, aineellisesti) poikkeuksetta kaikissa maissa.” – Lenin
Me eurooppalaiset marxilais-leniniläis-maolaiset puolueet ja järjestöt olemme pitäneet ensimmäisen yleiseurooppalaisen puolueiden ja järjestöjen kokouksen, ja olemme siten menestyksekkäästi toteuttaneet tavoitteemme yhteyksiemme, keskinäisen koordinoinnin ja tuen vahvistamisesta, antaen sysäyksen kamppailulle kommunistien yhtenäisyyden puolesta Euroopan mantereella osana kansainvälistä kommunistista liikettä. Näemme tämän tapaamisen alkuna prosessille, joka on väittelyä, sekä yhteenliittynyttä teoreettista ja käytännöllistä taistelua, pohjautuen marxismi-leninismi-maoismiin – pääasiassa maoismiin – ja leppymättömään taisteluun revisionismia vastaan, maailman proletaarisen vallankumouksen palvelemiseksi enemmän ja paremmin. Toisista maista kotoisin olevat toverit, jotka kutsuttiin kokoukseen, mutta joiden läsnäolo oli estynyt erityisten ongelmien johdosta, lähettävät tervehdyksensä kokoukselle, ja me jatkamme kamppailemista heidän ja myös muiden kommunististen voimien liittämiseksi kautta Euroopan osaksi yhteisiä pyrkimyksiämme.

On the occasion of the 38th anniversary of the launching of the People's War in Peru, we raise the slogan "Learn from Chairman Gonzalo".
For this we publish an unnofficial translation of the excerpt from the unitary basis of the Communist Party of Peru:
The six aspects of the construction of the Party. The ideological construction. Militancy is forged in the base of party unity the Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, Gonzalo Thought, principally Gonzalo Thought; we say Marxism-Leninism-Maoism because it is the universal ideology of the proletariat, the last class of history, an ideology that must be applied to the concrete conditions of each revolution and generate its guiding thought, in our case, the Peruvian revolution has generated Gonzalo thought because Chairman Gonzalo is the highest expression of the fusion of universal ideology with the concrete practice of the Peruvian revolution.
The political construction. Militancy is forged in Program and Statutes; general political line and military line as the center, specific lines; general policy, specific policies; and, military plans of the Party. Politics should always be in charge and it is our strong point.
The organizational construction. The organiozational follows the political and taking into account that only the line is not enough simultaneously one have to assemble the organizational instruments taking the organizational structure, the organizational system and party work into account. Organizational structure, the Party is based on democratic centralism, principally on centralism; Two armed party networks are established, the territorial network that encompasses a jurisdiction and the mobile network whose structure is displaced. Organizational system is the distribution of forces depending on the principal and secondary points where revolution acts. Party work is the relationship between secret work that is principal and open work; importance of the five needs: democratic centralism, clandestinity, discipline, vigilance and secrecy, particularly democratic centralism.
The leadership. We are fully aware that no class has ever succeeded in establishing its dominance if it has not promoted its political leaders, its vanguard representatives, capable of organizing and leading the movement; and the Peruvian proletariat in the midst of the class struggle has generated the leadership of the revolution and its highest expression: the Great Leadership of Chairman Gonzalo who manages the revolutionary theory, has a knowledge of history and a deep understanding of the practical movement; who in hard two lines struggle has defeated revisionism, the right and left liquidationism, the right opportunist line and the rightism; he has reconstituted the Party, he leads it in the People's War and has become the greatest living Marxist-Leninist-Maoist, great political and military strategist, philosopher; master of communists, center of party unification. The reaction has two principles to destroy the revolution: annihilate leadership and isolate the guerrillas from the masses, but in synthesis their problem is to annihilate the leadership because it is what allows to maintain the course and materialize it. Our Party has defined that leadership is key and it is the obligation of all militants to constantly strive to defend and preserve the leadership of the Party and especially the leadership of Chairman Gonzalo, our Great Leaderhip, against any attack inside and outside the Party and subject ourselves to its leadership and personal command raising the slogans of 'Learn from Chairman Gonzalo' and 'Embody the Gonzalo Thought'.
We base ourselves on collective leadership and one-man leadership and we take into account the role of the leaders and how, through the People's War, in the midst of the renewal of leadership, the leadership of the revolution is curdling and tempering. We maintain the principle that the command never dies. The Marxist-Leninist-Maoists, Gonzalo Thought, we subject ourselves to Chairman Gonzalo and we embody the Gonzalo Thought.
Two lines struggle. The Party is a contradiction where the class struggle is expressed as a two-line struggle between left and right. The two lines struggle is what impulses the development of the Party, its right and correct handling derives from the left imposing itself. We combat conciliation because it nurses the right; and the principle of criticism and self-criticism, all, militants, cadres, leaders must practice it, combatants and masses too, assuming the philosophy of the struggle and going against the current, bearing in mind that the Central Committee is the vortex of the storm , then, there is expressed the sharpest class conflict. The just and correct handling that Chairman Gonzalo makes of the two-line struggle has served to maintain the unity of the Party and develop the people's war; In general, it has revisionism as the main danger, although in the Party it continues to develop against the right criteria, opinions, attitudes and positions, as a struggle within the people. It is necessary to organize the struggle of two lines to impose the Party line, through a plan to develop it in an organized manner.
Mass Work. We apply the principle of: 'The masses make history'. The Party leads the mass struggle serving the Power that is the principal demand; we develop the mass work in and for the People's War based on the basic masses, mainly poor workers and peasants, on the petty bourgeoisie and neutralize or win the middle bourgeoisie according to the conditions. We are subject to the law of incorporation of the masses and to the only Marxist tactic of "going deep and deepest", educating them in revolutionary violence and in the relentless struggle against revisionism. The mass work of the Party is done through the Army and mobilizes, politicizes, organizes and arms the masses in new Power in the field and in the Revolutionary Movement for the Defense of the People in cities.

Hamburg, Bremen, Berlin and some other cities in the FRG are known to be bastions of the proletarian revolutionaries. The recent developments express an advance to the east and the south. But one corner of the west in this rotten German state on the Ruhr now plays a decisive role in the struggle between Hoxhaism and Maoism. The young proletariat of the Ruhr-Area raises the flag of Maoism and not only adopts the criticism on the Right Liquidationism but also deepens the criticism. We observe, that no matter what happens to us, there are comrades who will remain. As the Authors Collective behind DemVolkeDienen.org we salute the firmness and persistence of the comrades. The following is a documentation of an inofficial translation of andeclaration made by the Rote Ruhe Crew [highlights made by us]:

The Finnish comrades of Punalippu ("Red Flag") this week published the translation of report adopted at the V. meeting of marxist-leninist-maoist parties and organisations of Latin America. In their introduction, the comrades say:
"Below is a translation of the document "On the international situation and the tasks of the International Communist Movement " adopted by the Fifth meeting of marxist-leninist-maoist parties and organisations of Latin America in May 2016. The Finnish translation is mainly based on the English translation (http://www.demvolkedienen.org/index.php/en/t-dokumente-en/1301-thesis-on-the-international-situation-and-the-tasks-of-the-international-communist-movement ), but also the original Spanish text (http://www.demvolkedienen.org/index.php/es/lat-amerika/1157-sobre-la-situacion-internacional-y-las-tareas-en-el-mci) has been used. In view of the very high ideological level of the document, the most important thing in Finnish translation is the preservation of scientific and precise conception, but at the same time efforts have been made to ensure that the translation is in smooth Finnish. Suggestions for improvement of the translation are welcome."
