Kristiansand. On 15.08, the so-called "Independence Party" held a manifestation to gather signatures in order to participate in elections. This party is a fascist party, and their so-called "criticism of religion" is just covered-up racism. The party was established by central members of the "Alliance" and "Stop Islamization of Norway", among whom several are convicted racists. These groups have contact to the fascists of the "Nordic Resistance Movement", ties to European fascist organizations and collaborate with the racist "Democrats" in Kristiansand. The Struggle Committee organized a demonstration against these fascists. Leaflets were distributed against the "Independence Party" together with water and face masks, and many stickers with the text "Nazi Free Zone" were put up around the manifestation. The Struggle Committee writes: "During the demonstration, the activists did a good job shouting slogans and were positively received by people on the street. The fascists talked to almost nobody and got extremely few signatures. It didn't seem like they were even trying. They practically sat still and looked dull, and also used the time to play a few levels of Candy Crush. After an hour, the police left and asked us to end the demonstration, because they didn't have the resources to protect anymore. The "Good Cop Tactic" they have used during the last two demos cracked up today, since they allowed the fascists to stand for five hours and limited our demo to just one hour. This annoyed both demonstrators and passersby, and only confirms what we knew before, that the police is on the side of the fascists".

GREENLAND
It was reported (sermitsiaq.ag) that the Danish colonial regime will now establish a reactionary militia of 120 Greenlandic soldiers, directed by the Arctic Command of the Danish armed forces. The 2nd in command of the Arctic Command states: "We need a reserve force to support the Arctic Command in critical situations. And we are currently doing analytical work, which will result in a special Greenlandic reserve force. If everything goes as planned, we can begin recruitment in the second half of 2021". The clear point of this development is to maintain Danish sovereignty in Greenland, by creating a 5th column loyal to the imperialists and in the military aspect undermine the struggle for independence.
Additionally, this year's Arctic Circle Conference, to be held in Reykjavík, Iceland, in order to discuss the re-division of the Arctic among the imperialist States, has been canceled. However, it was stated by the secretary of the conference that a special conference regarding the situation of Greenland will be held, and that the dates for that special conference will be announced next month.
