Federação Anarquista Gaúcha premises raided by police
Thursday, 29 October 2009, from 4.00 pm on
In this moment the Civil Police of Rio Grande do Sul under the command of the governor Yeda Crusius is searching the headquarters of the Federação Anarquista Gaúcha (FAG). The government's search warrant allows them to seize political propaganda material accusing the government of corruption, files regarding the World Bank loan and the murder of landless peasant, Eltom Brum. This is an act of pure provocation by the Gaúcho executive, which is tainted by corruption and unexplained situations, such as the death of Marcelo Cavalcante in February this year. We call upon the forces of the Gaúcho left to react in a more unified way to this outrage.
In solidarity,
Federação Anarquista Gaúcha

[2nd note]
Propaganda material and FAG computer seized
In this moment, 5.31pm on 29th October 2009, comrades are making statements at the 17th Department in Rua Voluntários da Pátria, 1500, near the Porto Alegre bus station. The Civil Police have seized printed material, files and even the computer at the FAG headquarters. This is an official conspiracy designed to attack the forces of the non-parliamentary left with a social base in Rio Grande do Sul!
Such a reaction was to be expected, since the FAG has always acted with modesty but tenacity. We are amongst the stiffest in our defence of the interests and strategic objectives of the Gaúcho people. This act will be publicly denounced, proving to the oppressed classes of Rio Grande do Sul the nature of this vile attack ordered by a government which is accused of much more serious crimes.
Those who struggle will never die!
Federação Anarquista Gaúcha (FAG)
