Demonstration:
Honor and Glory to Chairman Gonzalo!
Following last Saturdays culmination of the sinister
plans of the Peruvian reaction – under the leadership of Yankee imperialism and
in collusion with the capitulationist and liquidationist right-opportunist line
- to kill Chairman Gonzalo, an immediate call for a joint demonstration taking
place a week later went out. Following this call some 150 people came together,
including some from other countries, this Saturday in Hamburg to hold high the
banner raised by Chairman Gonzalo and to offensively repel all attempts of
smudging his image, after he in his lifetime victoriously crushed all the plans
of the reaction to do so.
This weekend, Communists and Revolutionaries from
Germany marched together shoulder to shoulder with comrades from the Nordic
countries, from Austria and Turkey. A vivid internationalist and combative
spirit was present through-out the manifestation that started marching at 19:00
from Feldstraße in the direction of Sternschanze, after – much to dismay of the
police and to cheers from the manifestation and passers-by – a massive frame
was erected depicting a five meter high likeness of Chairman Gonzalo. This
frame, proudly carried in the front, was followed by rows upon rows of flags
with the hammer and sickle as well as those of different Turkish revolutionary
organizations.
At Sternschanze a minute of silence of held, all
participants raising high their fists in honor of Chairman Gonzalo. That this
was an international manifestation was quite clear due to the speeches given
and the greetings and documents that were read from different Parties and
Organizations, such as Serve the People (from Norway), Maoist Committee (from
Finland), Vorbote (Eng.: “Herald”, from Austria), from TKP/ML Central Committee
– Political Bureau (from Turkey), TKP-ML Rojava, the Committee for the
Construction of the Maoist Communist Party of Galizia as well as the Peru
People’s Movement.
With the manifestation drawing to a close at Schlump
train station, the police started to draw together forces in an attempt to
intimate the demonstration, as it was a thorn in their eye to clearly see and
loudly hear the participants of the action past the time they allotted for the
closing of it. Unfaced by their show of force, the revolutionaries closed
ranks, stood together, sang The Internationale and continued their
manifestation, until all preparations for the closer of the action were made, and
then retreated together, so as to not allow any openings for retaliatory
attacks by the police and the police infiltrators that were sent after the
participants.
