Last year, we reported for the first time on the establishment of so-called "homeland security regiments" of the German Armed Forces.These "homeland security regiments" are military units that consist mainly of reservists and previously undrafted civilians and receive military training and tasks from the German Armed Forces in their "free time". This means that the units are primarily made up of people who have normal jobs in civilian life. The tasks of a so-called homeland security regiment are primarily associated in the bourgeois media with internal catastrophes such as natural disasters or pandemics. However, in our last article on this topic, we were able to show that there is much more behind the military propaganda of a "friend and helper in soldier's uniform".

At the turn of the year, the border police of the old Indian state announced the transfer of three battalions, i.e. more than 3,000 police officers, from the state of Odisha to the state of Chhattisgarh in order to achieve its self-imposed goal of ending the people's war in India. At the same time, an equal number of police from the Indo-Tibetan Border Police are to be transferred to the Narayanpur district of Chhattisgarh to take action against the forest and village area of Abujhmad, described as a Maoist stronghold. These troop deployments are part of a plan unveiled by the interior minister of the old Indian state as a "plan against left-wing extremism" in December to defeat the people's war in India.

Last weekend, a 26-year-old man from Ghana was killed by police in a municipal refugee shelter in Mülheim-Saarn. Prior to this, the young refugee had allegedly gone on the rampage in the accommodation and attacked the facility's security staff. When the police found the man in the accommodation, he allegedly attacked the police officers in his room. The police then used Tasers, i.e. stun guns, on the man twice. According to the police, however, the man did not react to the extremely violent electric shocks or collapse. Interviews with police spokespeople and bourgeois media reports further reveal that the man was then arrested with pain grips and considerable force and transported in a fixed position to an ambulance. There he had to be resuscitated during the journey to hospital, so he was already close to death. Once at the hospital, the fugitive died on Sunday morning.

In Germany, there is currently a large wave of mass protests by farmers across the country. The reason for the protests is the government's planned cuts in the current budget on the backs of the people, which is currently affecting the peasents in particular. They have been resisting this and have blocked numerous highways and traffic junctions throughout the country in recent days.

This year the presidential primaries are taking place in Mexico. On the democratic and revolutionary news site "solrojista", Mexican revolutionaries give their assessment, emphasizing that these elections are a circus show by the big bourgeoisie to push through the imperialist megaprojects that are still being fought over. By imperialist megaprojects we mean large infrastructure projects that we have already reported on several times. Among them are the so-called "Mayan Train" with the participation of the German Federal State Railway and the so-called Interoceanic Corridor, a railroad line and industrial project between the Pacific and the Atlantic in the southern Mexican isthmus with the complex participation of imperialist and bureaucratic capital from all over the world.
