Neste 25 de Julho vivemos num mundo em que a humanidade ainda nom foi capaz de deter a colonizaçom de vários países como Palestina, Wallmapu (o País dos Mapuches), Nova Caledônia (Kanaky), Papua Nova Guinea, etc.
Vivemos num mundo em que os povos ainda tenhem que realizar guerras justas que devem ser apoiadas em todo mundo. Trata-se de guerras de libertaçom nacional e de guerras populares prolongadas como sucede na Índia, em Filipinas, no Iêmen, em Palestina, etc.
Mas tamém vivemos num mundo em que as grandes potências provocam guerras proxy em países como Ucrânia, Sudam do Norte, Líbia, etc. Todas estas som guerras injustas das que o proletariado deve fazer denúncia.
O ascenso da burguesia chinesa como a burguesia da maior economia do mundo conduz a confrontaçom com os Estados Unidos da América e os seus aliados (a OTAN e a UE) polas matérias primas, os mercados solventes, as rotas comerciais, etc. Mentres a OTAN perde presença e polo tanto poder político em África substituída pola Rússia e ao mesmo tempo, economicamente a China está a substituir a República Francesa, ao Banco Mundial e a UE no continente africano. Este retrocesso da OTAN acelera as políticas militaristas, a propaganda bélica nos jornais e demais meios de comunicaçom onde Rússia e China som tratados como inimigos é cada dia mais constante. A tendência geral dos estados é o militarismo, é preparar─se para guerra e isto inclui reforçar os exércitos e ter capacidade de mobilizar contra sua vontade as grandes massas operárias para umha nova carnificina de escala industrial. Tamém inclui a necessidade de aumentar a censura e a repressom interna contra qualquer pessoa que pode ser considerada um perigo para o estado burguês.
O panorama das contradiçons sociais a nível mundial provoca umha grande confusom entre o Movimento Comunista Galego, entre as pessoas que honestamente se consideram comunistas na Galiza. O caminho adotado pola burguesia dos Estados Unidos de América (EUA) dumha maneira ou outra levará á umha nova guerra mundial. As burguesias dos países da Europa nom topam saída sem os EUA, nom porque os seus militares ocupam a Europa (que tamém) senom mais bem, porque o domínio mundial dos EUA era compartilhado com os seus sócios.
A crise e a guerra som recursos capitalistas para destruir meios de produçom e poder iniciar um novo ciclo de acumulaçom mas a existencia de grandes potências com muitas cabeças nucleares muda as consequências dumha guerra entre grandes potências atômicas.
Há pessoas que afirmam que a Europa é umha colónia dos EUA mas realmente, nom há nada parecido entre a realidade social dos países europeus e umha colónia. Muitas destas afirmaçons da situaçom colonial da Europa devem-se ao nacionalismo dumha pequena e média burguesia que reclama políticas económicas protecionistas.
O proletariado consciente nom pode deixar─se arrastar para defender um determinado setor da burguesia de qualquer país. Os estados burgueses nom som anti-imperialistas senom que fortalecem o poder da burguesia local e polo tanto a exploraçom da classe obreira. O poder da burguesia dumha grande potência é substituído por outra grande potência mas o proletariado e os povos oprimidos seguem igual.
O proletariado consciente deve apoiar─se na sua própria compreensom científica do mundo, nom na academia burguesa, nem no possibilismo burguês, nem tampouco na lógica “do menos malo”.
Temos que entender que o Marxismo─Leninismo─Maoísmo é a necessária subjetividade, a consciência que precisamos para poder transformar o mundo conscientemente até a aboliçom das classes no comunismo.
Se a burguesia precisou o renascimento europeu e a ilustraçom para derrubar o velho regime feudal, o proletariado precisa da consciência revolucionária que exige começar por mostrar o caráter de classe do estado burguês como principal instrumento do poder político da ditadura burguesa. Sem umha adequada compreensom do Regime Espanhol como aliança entre a burguesia galega e a burguesia espanhola nom podemos avançar na formaçom dumha vanguarda consciente.
Pola República Socialista Galega como base de apoio da Revoluçom Proletária Mundial!
We hereby share an unofficial translation of a report published by Die Rote Fahne Austria.
As an answer to the murder of the Communist Party of India (Maoist)’s General Secretary, Comrade Basavaraj [Editorial statement] and other 26 communists, many actions that internationally and in Austria condemned this massacre by the Indian State. We hereby share more pictures of these actions, that we have recently received.
Graffiti for CPI (Maoist) and the People’s War in India
We hereby share some pictures of graffiti made. Alongside we have received the following text: “Today, 10th of July of 2025, would be the 70th anniversary of the Communist Party of India (Maoist)’s General Secretary. He was murdered around one month and a half ago, along with dozens more of comrades in a malicious action, surrounded by thousands of military and police forces of the Indian reactionary regime. We participate in the Defense Campaign of the People’s War in India to defend the revolutionary struggle and specially its leadership! Lal Salaam! Lal Salaam means, “Red Greetings”, and its a broadly used slogan within the country’s revolutionary movement.
The message in the graffiti: “Lal Salaam to the CPI (Maoist) and its martyrs! Support the People’s War in India!”.
Actions in the Palestine solidarity movement
The campaign to support the People’s War was also spread among activists within the Palestine Solidarity Movement in Austria. We hereby share pictures of the demonstrations and actions in Vienna, Linz and Innsbruck.
In Innsbruck was read a speech in solidarity with the revolutionary struggle in India in a demonstration of the Palestine solidarity movement. In the speech a call to carry out solidarity actions to honor the life and to remember the murder of the CPI (Maoist)’s General Secretary was made. A big part of the demonstration expressed solidarity.
Activists rallied also in Linz to express solidarity with the People’s War in India.
Also in Vienna a solidarity action with the Indian revolutionary movement was made during the march of a demonstration to support the Palestine liberation struggle. Hereby a couple of pictures on it.
Publicamos el siguiente documento aparecido en la dirección que abajo se indica:
On May 21, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of India (Maoist), Comrade Basavaraj, along with nearly 30 other comrades, was murdered by the Indian reactionaries as part of the encirclement and annihilation campaign known as "Operation Kagaar" against the revolutionaries in India. In the first half of 2025 alone, several hundred communists, revolutionary fighters, and masses were killed.
In honor of the fallen General Secretary of the Communist Party of India (Maoist) and in memory of all the revolutionaries who have fallen in India, the organizations Partizan, Young Struggle, and the Red League called for actions in solidarity with the comrades in India.
Based on this call, joint events were held in seven German cities: Berlin, Bremen, Dortmund, Düsseldorf, Cologne, Leipzig and Hamburg. A variety of organizations and individuals participated, with more than one hundred attendees at the events in sum.

Various actions were carried out by activists of the Red League in different parts of the country. Reports reached us from Dortmund, where a mural featuring the portrait of Comrade Basavaraj and slogans was painted in the Nordstadt, and from Freiburg, where large wallpapers with the picture of the murdered General Secretary of the Communist Party of India (Maoist) were hung in the neighborhoods of Unterwiehre, Stühlinger, and Vauban. We also received reports of Dazibaos in Leipzig.

We have also received photos from Essen-Altendorf, Leipzig, and Cologne documenting wall paintings with slogans. In Cologne and Leipzig, the poster or call of the joint campaign was also put up.

The revolutionary newspaper RoPo dedicated both the front page and the "Image of the Month" in the current issue No. 88 to the cause.

Finally, it should be noted that the action days were quite a good success. It is particularly commendable that very different organizations and groups participated in these action days.
We are convinced that with a bit more time for preparation and coordination, much more powerful actions could have been carried out. We hope that this will be possible in the future and that all sincere anti-imperialists in Germany will continue to develop and strengthen their joint efforts for the campaign to support the People's War in India.

Wir teilen hier einen Aufruf des Bündnis gegen imperialistische Aggression Hamburg für den 18. Juli, 18:30 Uhr, Billstedter Marktplatz:
Die blutige Aggression des israelischen Besatzers, unter Anweisung ihrer Befehlshaber in Washington, 3at noch immer kein Ende in Sicht. Auch nach bald fast zwei Jahren des aktuellen völkermörderischen Feldzuges, hatten sie noch immer keinen Erfolg damit den gerechtfertigten nationalen Widerstand des Volkes Palästinas zu beenden, welches im Gegenteil jeden Tag aufs Neue kraftvolle Aktionen im Kampf gegen den Besatzer vorantreibt.
Das Bündnis gegen imperialistische Aggression (BgiA) ruft deshalb alle antiimperialistischen, revolutionären und alle wirklichen demokratischen Menschen und Organisationen zur Kundgebung am 18. Juli auf, um den andauernden tapferen Widerstand des Volkes Palästinas zu unterstützen!
Freitag, 18. Juli, 18:30 Uhr, Billstedter Marktplatz

A note on July 1, the 15th martyrdom anniversary of CPI (Maoist) spokesperson ‘Azad’.
See here for the statement from Sanhati in July 2010
Cherukuri Rajkumar, better known by his nom de guerre Azad (meaning “free”), was a revolutionary thinker of India’s Maoist movement.
Born in 1952 into a wealthy landlord family in Krishna district, Andhra Pradesh, Rajkumar was, even as a child, deeply sensitive to social inequality and exploitation. During his college years, he was drawn to Marxism-Leninism and profoundly influenced by the Naxalbari uprising (1967) and China’s Cultural Revolution.
In the 1970s, while studying at Andhra University in Visakhapatnam, he became active in student politics. In 1978, he was elected leader of the Radical Students Union (RSU), an organization inspired by Naxalite ideals. Around this time, he became affiliated with the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) or CPI(ML).
In 1980, Rajkumar went underground and joined the CPI(ML) People’s War Group, which later merged into the Communist Party of India (Maoist). Over time, he emerged as a key member of the party’s Central Committee and Politburo. Although he wasn’t a combatant in the armed struggle, he became widely known as the party’s spokesperson, strategist, and ideological leader.
Azad played a pivotal role in organizing the Maoist movement in southern India, especially in Karnataka and Maharashtra. He made significant contributions to the party’s propaganda, policy formulation, and strategic planning. After the CPI(Maoist) was formed in 2004, he served as its principal public spokesperson, maintaining dialogue with the press and with intellectual circles.
He strongly defended the Maoist strategy of “People’s War” and described the Indian state as “semi-colonial and semi-feudal.” He believed that only through armed revolution could a truly liberated, exploitation-free society be achieved.
On July 1, 2010, Azad was killed in the forests of Adilabad district, Andhra Pradesh, in what police described as an “encounter.” The Maoists, however, claimed that he was extrajudicially executed. His death was a major blow to the CPI(Maoist), as he was considered one of the party’s most intellectual and diplomatic figures.
Azad was also a prolific writer and speaker. His works, such as “Maoist Party and Revolutionary Violence” and “India: The State and Revolution”, are regarded as foundational texts of the Maoist movement in India.
Though the Maoist movement remains a subject of intense debate, Azad was respected for his unwavering stance against imperialism, capitalism, and state repression. After his death, many leftist intellectuals remembered him as the “theoretical architect of the People’s War.”
Azad was not merely a guerrilla leader—he was a thinker, organizer, and revolutionary diplomat. His life and work remain a crucial chapter in the history of India’s Maoist struggle. To the state, he was a “terrorist”; to his followers, he was a selfless soldier of liberation.
Dear comrades,
Recently, we have founded the Initiative of Solidarity with the Indian People. In doing so, we have set a wide range of goals, namely, among others:
First of all, to dispel all the myths surrounding Indian state and the role of the Indian comprador big bourgeoisie (CBB) in the international arena.
Furthermore, to inform the Greek people about the nascent reactionary economic, military and political alliance forged between Greek comprador bourgeoisie and the Indian CBB and more precisely about all the projects and “corridors” like IMEC including the Zionist genocidal settler “state”.
Besides, to shed light to the internal policy of the Indian CBB, in particular about Hindutva in all its aspects (majoritarianism and persecution of nationalities, Muslims, women etc., its role as a narrative of CBB, etc. but also its similarities with Zionism).
Last but not least, to highlight the true alternative for the Indian people: the People’s War headed by CPI (Maoist).
The work to be done is not easy. First of all, many here simplistically believe that, as long as Pakistan is a friend of Turkey, which has territorial claims against Greece and has occupied Cyprus, then Greece should forge an alliance with Modi.
Furthermore, there are those who believe that India is among the nations that create a so-called “multipolar world”, therefore, Greece should create an alliance with the Indian “rising power”.
Moreover, there are many who claim that BRICS – without even considering its internal and inherent contradictions – is a kind of new “antiimperialist camp”. Therefore, as India is a member of BRICS, we should not criticize the Indian ruling class.
Besides, there are many people who think that India is an exotic place where people practice yoga and even like (!) casteism and this kind of “traditions”.
All of the above constitute the majority of the Greek people. Nevertheless, we will insist, as, apart from the internationalist task, not studying India means not knowing the trends in the contemporary world.
As part of our first actions, we have already been to three political festivals with our stand and propagandistic material. We share with you photos with the stand we had in the Antiracist Festival held between 4-6/7 in Athens with more than 30,000 visitors. We distributed the CPI (Maoist) DKSPZ Committee statement d.d. 25/5/2025 regarding the killing of cde. Basavaraj, a leaflet with our goals and two books of CPI (Maoist), namely “The caste question in India” and “The nationality question in India” translated by a member of ours.
There are many plans, especially regarding Operation Kagaar and the 25-year anniversary of PLGA.
Lal Salam from Greece
