In a massive mobilization activity comrades from Columbia took to the streets of Medellin on the 9th of February. The short marches and combative speech, slogans and songs held by the activists addressing the issues of the broadest and deepest masses soon drew in a big crowd. Combating the cutbacks in the lives of the rural and urban workers, the comrades mobilized in defense of the basic workers rights, such as the raising of wages, the reduction of the costs for daily living and cheaper public transportation.

We publish an inofficial translation of a declaration of the FDLP-EC (Front in Defence of the Struggle of the People - Ecuador):

 

In the morning of February 16 after a meeting between the shift manager of the Federal Republic Michel Temer (PMDB), the Governor of Rio de Janeiro state Pezão (PMDB) and the head of the deputy chamber Rodrigo Maia one day before, the federal intervention of the armed forces in all the repression apparatus of Rio de Janeiro state was announced and decreed until the end of 2018.

From left to right: Rodrigo Maia, Temer and Pezao signing the military intervention.

This is the result of a process of sharpening of the contradictions between the ruling classes and the people, due to the crisis which is paid ate the cost of the blood of the people, the increase in repression and also the centralization of the repression. This process was already being formulated in the Workers Party management with the creation of the National Force police department, with the military centralization in the occupation of the Maré and Alemão favelas and also during the Olympics as an experience to raise the repression to another level.

Also the plan to create the Ministry of Security is another policy that aims to the centralization in the national level of this repression rapid increase.

During the last week, in the carnival holyday, in which the whole city changes its dynamics, the media monopoly was making terrorism saying the police are not being enough to take care of the (poor) “criminals” and is spreading hate against the poor people in Rio de Janeiro favelas.

Another thing the manager Temer said in his speech was that the intervention will be interrupted for voting the social security (counter) reform once is not constitutional to change the federal laws during military intervention.

This policy is another leap in the repression against the people and the terror the state aims to spread among the people is going to turn against it, the people is accumulating flammable material to explode in rebellion against the landlord and bureaucratic capitalist state.

We want to inform about a new news plattform from latin america. The  title of the page is America Latina Roja, translated Red Latin America. Although the platform published articles in spanish, we think it is good to know them.

We publish this english translation of a message from the EPL:

Revolutionary greetings, as the struggle of the Peruvian people has been increased in quantity and quality, becoming more intense and fierce, a lesson in the very heat of the class struggle and the increase is gradual, the People's War and the PCP impressed in these 38 years of combative and avant-garde experience of the World Proletarian Revolution, today the need and demand in Peru is greater, it commits us to the peasantry and the broad masses of neighbourhoods, with the deepest and broadest masses, they are the arena of contention against the old Peruvian state, a paper tiger to the bone and its genocidal armed forces expert in defeats, its repressive police forces that are the support of its old order of exploitation and oppression.
