In Oslo, the capital of Norway, activists of the Struggle Committee participated in the markation of the Latin American Group against the company of Statkraft in front of the Norwegian parliament in order to prevent the imperialist projects happening under the guise of ”green energy”. Many indigenous people’s suffer under the imperialist project because it among other things destroys the environment of the indigenous peoples living in the area.

"Titan of the arms industry in Europe and probably in the world" is how Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba calls Düsseldorf-based arms and technology group Rheinmetall. Over the weekend, the German war-monopolist announced an agreement to set up a joint venture with Ukrainian state-owned Ukroboronprom. This is initially to repair those tanks and military vehicles that the NATO states have supplied via the German government's so-called ring swap projects or directly. The construction of tanks is to follow, as well as ammunition and air defense projects. The company is to be operational from mid-July 2023.

Today, Sunday, May 14, another presentation of the Red League took place in Freiburg.

On May 10, the Red League held an informational event in Essen's North Quarter, as part of a series of events in various cities and states. In this context, a lecture was held, which went into the foundation of the Red League, how it understands itself and what role the Red League plays in the current development of the class struggle in the FRG. Accompanied by pictures and video material, some activities of the last years were presented, which were carried out by the different nationwide forces from which the Red Federation emerged from – also with special regard to the different activities which took place in Essen itself. That way, the participants of the event could get a good idea of the daily political work, which the Red League is doing and which it will continue doing in the future.
