In Bremen yesterday, Wednesday 27 October, proletarian revolutionaries gave a lecture on the current situation in Ecuador. Besides some general and historical information showing the semi-feudal and semi-colonial character and the related misery for the Ecuadorian people. The focus was especially on the struggle of the poor and landless peasants in Buenos Aires, Imbabura. The poor and landless peasants in Buenos Aires are waging a struggle against mining, specifically against the Hanrine company that has illegally invaded the area, destroying nature, polluting water and displacing the population. All supported and secured by the police of the old state. The peasants in the area are tirelessly fighting the invaders and have declared a mining free zone. Many pictures and videos of the struggles on the ground were shown.

Norway:

After the parlamentary elections, the newly formed coalition, lead by Jonas Gahr Støre of the "Worker's Party", has replaced the former government. The comrades at Tjen Folket Media have written a commentary on the new election, an excerpt has been translated below:

"The new government has announced through its government platform and controlled leaks, a couple of small surprising "news". The government wants, under the cover of "a countryside profile" and "now it's the time for ordinary people" and "green transition", is increasing the role of the state in the economy and society. It must be underlined that the role of the state in the economy also increased under Høyre, and that this is the response to the crisis of imperialism, from the bourgeois politicians and the state. The general crisis in this rotting system, demands "keynesianism", militarisation, more corporativism and everything that point in the direction of more statemonopolistic capital. This does not express the strength of imperialism, but its weakening, as a consequence of fundemental and unsolvable problem. In this perspective, all talk of "justice", "community", "the countryside" and "green transition", is just different forms of legitimisation of restructurings, that should save imperialism from itself."

We would like to draw attention to an action by Danish comrades by sharing an unofficial translation of the report on it.

The revolution of the Workers' and Soldiers' Councils caused the German Emperor Wilhelm II to flee into exile in the Netherlands in 1918, and the Weimar Republic sent him a hefty settlement and 59 railroad cars full of luxury goods after him.

In the talks on forming a government between the FDP, SPD and Green parties, some points are already clear. Even if in the bourgeois media again and again it is explained that there would be large differences between the parties one should not forget that all bourgeois parties administer at the end the state of the bourgeoisie.

We publish pictures sent to us from the Brazilian Honorary Consulate in Bremen. In solidarity with the resistance of the peasants in the areas of Ademar Ferreira and Tiago dos Santos, the slogan "Long live the LCP" was painted in Portuguese.
