Italy votes on removing anti‑working class laws
7 June, by Dave Kellaway, Sinistra AnticapitalistaItaly votes this weekend in 5 referendums. Four are all about the existing restrictive, anti-working class labour laws and one is about the length of time involved in claiming citizenship. Meloni’s post-fascist led government defends the repressive labour legislation and the current citizenship law which means you have to have lived in Italy for 10 years before becoming Italian. A Yes in the referendum would halve that period.

Pity the people of Gaza!
6 June, by Gilbert AchcarWhat we have witnessed in recent days in the negotiations between Hamas and the Zionist state under American and Arab auspices, following the Islamic movement’s rejection of the seventy-day truce accompanied by mutual prisoner releases and the entry of humanitarian aid, proposed by US envoy Steve Witkoff and accepted by Benjamin Netanyahu, is in fact a repetition of what we have been witnessing since the beginning of last year.

Fabian, 11-years-old, dead: this was no accident - this is the police
5 June, by Elena Fernandez FernandezOn Monday afternoon, 2 June, in Elisabeth Park in Ganshoren, an 11-year-old child was struck and killed by a police vehicle. Another one. Once again, a young person has lost their life in a police operation. Once again, run over by a police officer. And once again, the institutions react coldly, relaying a version of events that incriminates the victim, while those responsible hide behind complicit investigations that generally lead nowhere.

The EU’s weak point: Energy
The EU and Energy - and the three white elephants
22 April 2021, by Mikael Hertoftread article...One got the feeling that Frans Timmermans came flying in on a white elephant when he presented the EU solution for the future ’green’ economy on 8 July: Hydrogen – the fuel that can be produced cleanly and must be used in the new hydrogen economy. Unfortunately, the road to the hydrogen economy is paved with CO2 emissions – and the EU solution has both economics, as well as natural laws, against it.

Western Imperialism and the Role of Sub-imperialism in the Global South
22 April 2021, by Ana Garcia, Miguel Borba , Patrick Bondread article...“As seen above, multinational corporations from BRICS countries, as well as projects financed by BRICS institutions, are reinforcing accumulation patterns that are socially and environmentally predatory, destroying the forms of life and work of populations in their territories. In order to overcome this predicament, South-South relations must be built with profound respect for counter-hegemonic social forces in these countries, as well as at the global scale.”
