  Lessons from the last federal elections: Towards the renewal of the status quo ante or the desperate search for an agreement with Trumpism

  25 May, by André Frappier, Bernard Rioux

  While various polls for 2024 predicted a landslide victory for the Conservative Party of Canada, the last federal election gave the Liberal Party of Canada a fourth term. The election campaign was dominated by widespread public apprehension over the trade war and Donald Trump’s threats of annexation of Canada. These fears weighed heavily on voting intentions.

  The Nakba intensifies. May our solidarity grow too!

  24 May, by Olivier Lek Laferrière

  The casualty figures for Gaza have disappeared from the news, while the death toll continues to mount. Some people are used to it, or have been indifferent from the start. Others know that this information alone can no longer transform public opinion, let alone the actions of complicit leaders.

  Merz-Klingbeil government is Trumpism lite

  23 May, by Heinrich Neuhaus

  Germany’s latest variant of the GroKo (Grosse Koalition, Grand Coalition), with Friedrich Merz (CDU/CSU) as Chancellor and Lars Klingbeil (SPD) as Vice-Chair, aims, according to the coalition agreement, to represent “responsibility for Germany”. Translated from political newspeak, this means that the amount of profits is untouchable.

  What happened to the left in Ecuador?

  22 May, by Andrés Madrid

  “The anti-capitalist left has not renewed its strategies after the October and June uprisings either. Its atomization and lack of material and intellectual resources prevent it from building a power project with its own identity. This vacuum paved the way for the Noboa clan to capitalize on the discontent.”

  The Netherlands and the 1965 mass killings in Indonesia

  24 April, by Alex de Jong

  The military coup d’état in Indonesia in 1965 was the beginning of one of the 20th century’s greatest crimes: the killing of over half a million of people and the torture and imprisonment of hundreds of thousands more. Much has been written about the involvement of Western powers such as the United States in the military coup. Less is known about the response of the Netherlands. Declassified documents show that Dutch authorities regarded the military coup with sympathy and sought to support it.

  For a campaign against rearmament, wars and imperialism

  15 April, by Gippò Mukendi Ngandu

  We are entering a new era. Trump’s return to the White House is so disruptive that it is causing the historic crisis of transatlantic relations as they were constituted after the Second World War. The new Republican and reactionary administration aims to exploit the new situation of ‘geopolitical chaos’ to revive the role of the United States of America through an authoritarian turn, based on an alliance with the big hi-tech capitalists such as Elon Musk, and through a new foreign policy that focuses on imperialist national interests.
