This coming 10 April marks the 104th anniversary of the assassination of General Emiliano Zapata, and as the peasant and indigenous movement has declared more than once: the programme of the agrarian revolution is still valid! In commemoration, different agrarian movements in different parts of the country have called for mobilisations, some of which have a clear class content and are directed against the militarisation of the country and the imposition of imperialist mega-projects of dispossession and death. In the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, the Union of Indigenous Communities of the Northern Zone of the Isthmus (UCIZONI) and the Committee for the Defence of the Land of the Popular Current of the Red Sun (CP-Sol Rojo) are calling for mobilisations that include the occupation of offices, the blockade of highways and some marches in different parts of the region. These protests will be joined by other organisations and communities participating in the network of civil resistance against CFE's high tariffs, as well as communities that continue to resist the wind farms and others currently affected by the Interoceanic Corridor. The convening organisations and communities express solidarity with the communities of Mogoñé Viejo, San Juan Guichicovi, and Santa Cruz Tagolaba and Rincón Tagolaba, Tehuantepec, which are under siege by the Mexican Navy and paramilitary groups. Demonstrators are also demanding justice for Luis Armando Fuentes Aquino, affectionately known as "Comandante Gato" by fishermen and poor peasants, who was killed by paramilitaries in San Francisco Ixhuatán on 11 April 2019.

Stop the militarisation of the Isthmus!

Jail for the mercenary "Tacho Canasta" and his brother "Sergio Canalla"!

Baden-Württemberg is planning to create five new judicial positions and to set up a new Stastsschutzsenat. The Minister of the Interior, Marion Gentges (CDU), justifies this current development with the increasing number of trials against so-called Reichsbürger, which would overburden the judicial system. She is supported in this not only by the governing parties, the CDU and the Greens, but also by the opposition.
