We forward the english translation of an article of A Nova Democracia, written by Fausto Arruda, on the current situation on Brazil.

We publish this communique of the Red Flag Collective of Finland:

To our friends in Finland and in the international communist movement

The Red Flag Collective has held a successful reorganizing meeting, through which our organization has been cast anew. The meeting was held because the one and half year since the initiation of our activities has demonstrated the need to renew our organization as well as to sharpen our line and present it unified.

The meeting adopted a temporary program which for the first time uniformly defines our ideological basis, which is Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, and defines the situation and tasks internationally and in Finland. Our organization upholds this program as a most valuable guide for Finnish communists, and it orients our work as a whole, the work in which the gained development creates preconditions to uplift the program to an even higher level.

We publish this message which was sent to us from Denmark:

ACTION OF SOLIDARITY WITH IGOR MENDES AND »THE 23«

The action to support Igor Mendes and »the 23«, who have received prison in Brazil because of their heroic and brave struggle against the wastefulness of the old and rotten-to-the-core Brazilian state under the FIFA World Cup of 2014, was carried out by activists from Red Study Circle under the political leadership of »Gnisten« [The Spark]. The action has improved the practical level of the activists, serving the international campaign to support Igor Mendes and »the 23«.

We share an image which comrades in Sweden created in solidarity with Igor Mendes:
