We publish an unofficial translation of an article by A Nova Democracia (AND) which gives an impression of the genocidal police operation in Rio which was conducted on July 21^st. Also videos on Twitter give an impression of how this massacre was conducted: Video 1, Video 2, Video 3

German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD) this week proposed to centralise Germany's cyber security in the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). Until now, cybersecurity has been a state matter and the BIS only provides administrative assistance, and that is also what the Constitution says.

Since last Thursday, the 14th of July, there have been renewed strikes by dockworkers at various port locations. The current strike was preceded by two other strikes - a total of 80 hours of strike action. This makes the current strike the biggest in 40 years.

Of the announcements made by the former Minister of Health, Jens Spahn, about major changes for the care sector, which were to be created with the Care Reform 2022, the only essential part that actually remains is the standard wage agreement.

During the week, Yankee President Joe Biden embarked on his first so-called "Middle East trip". He also visited Palestine, or rather the reactionary Mahmoud Abbas, who warmly received the US president - who proudly called himself a Zionist the day before. Abbas and his clique responded with thunderous applause to Biden's promises that the US would once again provide more development aid to Palestinians. But the Palestinian masses on the streets of Al Quds, the West Bank and Gaza made it clear that the top man of Yankee imperialism has no place in their country.

The current economic crisis is getting worse and worse and thus the situation of the working masses in this country is getting increasingly worse. The seriousness of the crisis, which is far from reaching its peak, can be well illustrated by the current figures of the inflation rate. Last month, inflation was 7.6%, only slightly below the previous month's high of 7.9%, the highest rate in almost 50 years. This high inflation rate ensures that the poorest sections of the proletariat in this country now face the real problem of not being able to finance their lives. The majority of the masses are not yet facing the threat to their existence, but they still have to make cutbacks and major adjustments in order to be able to get through the crisis. The demand and the struggle of the working class for a wage increase that will cushion the burden of the crisis is therefore completely justified. Especially at the present moment.
