In the Brazilian state of Bahia, poor peasants of the Support Committee of the Mãe Bernadete land occupation repelled an attack by armed police officers and sent them fleeing. When the police entered the property of the occupation with a vehicle under the pretext of searching for a wanted criminal, the poor peasants attacked the police of the old Brazilian state without hesitation. The poor peasants were also able to find in the back of one of the police vehicles a man named "Marquinho da Barrinha", who was supposed to obtain information about the camp in the service of the Latifundium. The occupation continues to grow, according to the newspaper A Nova Democracia, benefiting especially from the support of the League of Poor Peasants.

In the FRG there is the increasing development of the reactionarization of the bourgeois state. This also goes hand in hand with the development over many years that the powers of the executive, i.e. the government and the authorities, are being extended further and further and thus the power of the legislative and judiciary are being limited in order to concentrate the power in the bourgeois state in the hands of the executive.

In many offices, the problem of staff shortages and the associated limitations in their ability to act is currently apparent to varying degrees. This is currently culminating in the conditions in and in front of the Foreigners' Office in Stuttgart. Here, the problems have become so acute that one can speak of a current inability to act on the part of the office. The sufferers of these conditions are above all all those people who do not come from the FRG and now see their livelihoods threatened. Many of them start in their desperation to spend the night in front of the office despite the cold.

 

 

Turkey:

03: October:
After a suicide attack on the Turkish Ministry of the Interior in Ankara, which according to various bourgeois media but also Kurdish sources is to be attributed to the PKK, there were raids and arrests by the old Turkish state throughout Turkey and Northern Kurdistan. According to Tagesschau, which refers to the Turkish Interior Ministry, 1000 people were arrested in the raids following the attack. Avrupa Haber also reports on its website that six Partizan readers were arrested in Dersim and Istanbul and digital materials were confiscated by Turkish police, although it is unclear on what charges the six Partizan readers were arrested and where they were taken. Among those detained, according to Avrupa Haber, is its correspondent Ertan Çıta, who was arrested in Dersim.

Around 60,000 people from more than 150 countries took to the starting line last Sunday in late summer weather in the capital to follow in the footsteps of the Greek legendary heroes under the banners of car monopoly BMW and cross the finish line through the landmark of German imperialism after running over 42 kilometres.

On October 08, there will be two important federal state elections in the FRG. In both Hessen and Bavaria, the state parliament and thus a new government will be elected on this day. These state elections take place in the midst of a serious crisis of parliamentarism and the bourgeois parties within an economic crisis.

At the actual time, many medias increase their propaganda against combative antifascists, revolutionaries and revolutionaristic forces. The state-medias like “MDR”, “NDR” or “Tagesschau” report about submerged “left-wing extremists” and stoking the fear about some “serious violent crimes” or “terrorist attacks”. In combination with the propaganda of the medias, a nationwide  public manhunt against a persecuted antifascist has started.
