Colonia Dignidad (translated as "Colony of Dignity") is one of the darkest chapters of the FRG's foreign policy. In 1961, the German paedophile Paul Schäfer and other German emigrants built a settlement in the middle of the Chilean countryside. In this religious sect settlement, hundreds of people were killed, tortured and abused for over four decades - with the knowledge and protection of the German embassy in Chile. German involvement even went so far that German diplomats brought the escaped victims of abuse back to the settlement at that time. During the time of the bloody military dictatorship under Augusto Pinochet, the Chilean secret service DINA, with the support of Paul Schäfer, set up a prison camp on the site. The fate and whereabouts of the prisoners have not been clarified to this day. In the meantime, numerous perpetrators from Colonia Dignidad are living in Germany. There has been no criminal prosecution! All preliminary proceedings have been dropped. Nothing remains for the victims and their relatives. Not even a place of mourning. The former torture site is now a tourist attraction. Now tourists can enjoy "Bavarian cuisine" at the torture site, which is now called Villa Baviera (translated "Bavarian village").

Yesterday, Saturday, the Alliance against Imperialist Aggression (BgiA) organised a manifestation at the Steindamm in Hamburg and denounced the renewed attacks of Israel on the Al Aqsa Mosque and the Gaza Strip, as well as the repression against the supporters of the Palestinian struggle here in the FRG. Especially the repression against the comrades of Samidoun, whose demonstration was banned by the Berlin police, was condemned. In the past week, there have also been calls from senior German politicians for Samidoun to be banned.

The traffic light government has now set out its plans for the long-announced legalization of cannabis, which were already mentioned in the cornerstone papers of the coalition agreement at the end of 2021. In the future, it is to be legal to grow up to three cannabis plants of one's own via so-called "cannabis clubs" with a maximum of 500 members and to obtain up to 25 grams of cannabis per day and a maximum of 50 grams per month there. At a later date, sales via regional specialized stores and commercial supply chains will also be pushed.

After a justified demonstration in Berlin Neukölln/Kreuzberg last weekend, which was directed against the renewed attacks of the Israeli army on the Al Aqsa Mosque, as well as against the bombardments of the Gaza Strip, the German bourgeois press again started a smear campaign against the supporters of the Palestinian liberation struggle. The demonstration organised by the comrades of Samidoun, with several hundred participants, was demonised in the German press from the hate paper BZ to the state media such as the Tagesschau and dubbed as anti-Semitic and inciting the people. Slogans against Israel and for a free and self-determined Palestine are now said to be the reason for "harsh prosecution" as demanded by high German politicians such as Berlin's Mayor Franziska Giffey or Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (both SPD). The recent attacks on the Al Aqsa mosque, the rockets on Gaza and the ongoing genocide perpetrated by Israel against the Palestinians, which has escalated even further this year, on the other hand, receive no attention whatsoever in the articles about the demonstration, even though it was a reaction to precisely these attacks.

Everywhere in Germany, there is a severe shortage of qualified teachers in schools. Everyone who has children or still goes to school can tell what this means for us. Constantly changing teachers, lessons that are cancelled, merging of school classes and last but not least, the students are required to learn all the topics that have not been worked on on their own, whereby the tasks of the education system are simply shifted onto parents and students.

The bourgeois media keep chanting about the untenable conditions in Bremen's youth welfare offices. The staff complain about the massive workload and fear serious consequences. Seventeen years ago, the conditions led to a child being found beaten to death and repeatedly abused in a refrigerator in a working-class area of Bremen - Gröpelingen - because the cops and authorities kept looking away (Kevin case).

Bremen's parliamentary elections are just ahead, and just in time for them, the red-green-red federal government has now introduced a new draft law. This draft provides that, in the future, students entitled to vote will be able to cast their ballots in their respective schools one week before the official election day. To this end, a huge logistical and financial effort is to be made to move voting documents, booths, ballot boxes and, of course, government supervision into the schools in order to integrate the election into the students' everyday lives and to make the hurdle for students to cast their ballot as low as possible. Other eligible voters should also be allowed to take advantage of the early voting option.
