A commentary of Class Position

The comrades in Mexico executed a demonstration on the 18th of May, on which they demanded to get a sign of life of their comrade, friend and lawyer Ernesto Sernas García. The comrade is missing since the 10th of May.

This is an unnofficial translation of the article which was published in the 209th issue of the A Nova Democracia newpaper in Brasil

The Day of Proletarian Internationalism was full of protests and violent rebellions in several countries. Especially in France and Turkey, there was clashes between demonstrators and repression forces.

In Paris, the French capital, more than 55,000 demonstrators, thousands with faces covered - among students, youth and workers - took to the streets on a day of general rebellion. Large stores, banks, car shops and other monopoly facilities had their showcase destroyed. The young workers also called slogans like "Everybody Hates the Police!" and Paris, rebel !. The protest was called by unions to celebrate the First of May.

The imperialist government's response was again repression. More than 200 people were arrested by police officers who used tear gas and rubber bullets to try to disperse the demonstration, but without success. In response, vehicles form the shops and other objects were used as burning barricades. The frightened French press monopoly called the protests "a war scenario" and a "battle."

We publish a finnish translation of the declaration of the first meeting of the marxist-leninist-maoist Parties and Organisations of Europe. It is also available in german, spanish and french.

Kaikkien maiden proletaarit, liittykää yhteen!

Eurooppalaisten marxilais-leniniläis-maolaisten puolueiden ja järjestöjen ensimmäisen kokouksen julkilausuma

”Todellinen internationalismi voi olla vain uhrautuvaista työtä vallankumouksellisen liikkeen ja vallankumouksen taistelun kehittämiseksi omassa maassa, tämän taistelun, tämän linjan ja vain sen tukemista (propagandalla, myötämielisyydellä, aineellisesti) poikkeuksetta kaikissa maissa.” – Lenin

Me eurooppalaiset marxilais-leniniläis-maolaiset puolueet ja järjestöt olemme pitäneet ensimmäisen yleiseurooppalaisen puolueiden ja järjestöjen kokouksen, ja olemme siten menestyksekkäästi toteuttaneet tavoitteemme yhteyksiemme, keskinäisen koordinoinnin ja tuen vahvistamisesta, antaen sysäyksen kamppailulle kommunistien yhtenäisyyden puolesta Euroopan mantereella osana kansainvälistä kommunistista liikettä. Näemme tämän tapaamisen alkuna prosessille, joka on väittelyä, sekä yhteenliittynyttä teoreettista ja käytännöllistä taistelua, pohjautuen marxismi-leninismi-maoismiin – pääasiassa maoismiin – ja leppymättömään taisteluun revisionismia vastaan, maailman proletaarisen vallankumouksen palvelemiseksi enemmän ja paremmin. Toisista maista kotoisin olevat toverit, jotka kutsuttiin kokoukseen, mutta joiden läsnäolo oli estynyt erityisten ongelmien johdosta, lähettävät tervehdyksensä kokoukselle, ja me jatkamme kamppailemista heidän ja myös muiden kommunististen voimien liittämiseksi kautta Euroopan osaksi yhteisiä pyrkimyksiämme.

The former President of Peru, Alberto Fujimori, is on trial again. He is known for his many crimes and the genocide against the Peruvian people during his presidency from 1990 to 2000. Even the old, Peruvian state found him guilty of the massacres carried out by his death squads and his paramilitary groups. In 2009 he was imprisoned and sentenced to 25 years in jail. Furthermore, he was corrupt and embezzled millions of dollars. When he was officially charged with that, he flew to Japan where he stayed for five years. He is responsible for thousands of peasants, workers and revolutionaries who were tortured, raped and killed. They paid the highest price fighting for the end of the sellout of their country to the imperialists, fighting for the end of semi-feudalism, semi-colonialism and bureaucratic capitalism. Fujimori sold out his country, did everything the Yankees told him to do and they gave him one job, to crush the People’s War led by the Communist Party of Peru. And he used every barbarous method he could think of trying to fulfill it.

But after only few years in prison Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, then still president of Peru and a lackey of Yankee-imperialism – pardoned and released him in December 2017. This was followed by protests and demonstrations in several countries. In his current trial Fujimori is accused of giving the order to the murder of six peasants in the district of Barranca, north of Lima, carried out by the Colina paramilitary group in January 1992.
