In view of the upcoming elections in 2019, India‘s Prime Minister Modi tries to present himself as a good representative, who cares only about the Indian people. He and his party – the “Bharatiya Janata Party” - would stand for development, in contrary the coalition of his opposition – led by “the Congress” Party – who would only want power and therefore bring nothing but chaos to the country. To emphasize how “close” to the people he is, Modi lately told that he constantly gets out of his car in the streets and talks with his subordinates, while being silent about what the “development” he stands for really means for him: making it easier for the imperialists, who chase away, exploit and oppress the same Indian masses he allegedly cares for. The typical bourgeois electoral madness begins in India. One tries to portray himself in the press as a particularly good-doer, who has nothing but the interests of the people in mind. Then one insults his opponent, in case of doubt gets a few bribes flowing and in the end can make oneself comfortable and can go back to give no shit on the people while one curries favor with the imperialists.
And, of course, Modi states that it was him who fought the "Maoist threat" as effectively as no one else, and it would only rapidly decline because of him. But that the "left-wing extremism", as the bourgeoisie calls the People's War led by the Communist Party of India (Maoist) in India, is always the first question and the first concern of the ruling classes speaks against a "decline" of maoist activities. That the reactionary forces buy expensive drones to spy on Maoists speaks against a "decline". The cowardly and cruel massacres as in Gadricholi speak for the desperation and incapability of the old state in the face of the glorious people's war, as well as the mass criminalization and imprisonment of Dalits, Muslims, Kashmiris and other tribals like Adivasi, who oppose the old Indian state and who are directly called "terrorists" and "Maoists" when they criticize Modis government.

Since a few Bremen fascists in each of their weekly demonstrations under the slogan "Kandel is everywhere", in which they use the death of a young girl to incite hatred and fear against migrants and to promote the division of the working class in the FRG, this was also the case on July 7, the planned "climax" of their mobilization.
Saturday started with a counter demonstration with about 1000 participants, including a large part anti-fascists. On the other hand, less than a dozen people gathered at the so-called "women's march" of the fascists. Because of this balance of power, the anti-fascists managed to surround the small group even before the start of their demonstration, resolutely putting the slogan "Don’t Give Fascism an Inch!" into action. The demonstration of the Fascists, who wanted to march as a pure provocation through the left-alternative Steintorviertel, was rained on. Only through the aggressive protection of their vicarious agents - the Bremen police, including their black helmeted special forces - the fascists could even claim their rally start. The anti-fascist demonstrators were shoved, beaten, tried to encircle and threatened in loudspeaker announcements with further "police measures". But they remained firm and so the cops were unable to enforce the fascist march.

We share this article from a bourgeois indian newspaper for some general information on the case of the arrested friends in India:
When the five arrested persons charged with Maoist activities in connection with the Bhima Koregaon violence were brought to the Pune police commissionerate, there was an interesting spectacle. A young constable, part of the escort party of the arrested persons, fell at the feet of Shoma Sen, one of the accused, and begged forgiveness. As head of the English department at Nagpur University, Sen had taught the young man, and he holds her in high regard. He was torn with conflicting emotions, not quite understanding what she was being charged with.
The Bhima Koregaon Five were produced in court later on June 14. The sessions court was packed with 40 lawyers from Nagpur, all colleagues of another arrested person, lawyer Surendra Gadling. The party of 40 had come all the way from the Nagpur bar and the district courts of Gadchiroli and Vai, to plead that their friend was just another lawyer and not a Maoist. Yes, he did take up cases with passion for tribal people, and political prisoners – but that did not make him a Maoist.

On the 3rd of July 22 year old Aboubakar Fofana was killed by a single bullet to the neck. He was shot dead close range by the French police conducting traffic controls. Although the scene was captured on video and many witnesses reported otherwise, the police, at first, attempted to cover up this unprovoked execution arguing he would have run over a police officer and the murder would be justified. As this is a bland lie many do not believe, Nantes has now seen three days of massive riots denouncing the murderous police.
