  No return of the centre but consolidation of the far-right and weakening of the left

 in Dutch elections

  12 November, by SAP / Grenzeloos

  Much of the commentary on the results of the Dutch elections of October 29 can be summarised as “the centre is back”. However, the fact that the centrist party D66 won significantly while Geert Wilders’ far-right PVV lost 11 seats is by no means a decisive change in the political pattern of the Netherlands. With 26 out of 150 seats, the PVV now has the same number as seats as D66. And for the Dutch left, there is even less reason to celebrate.

  Democratic Socialist Mamdani, Other Democrats Win November Elections

  11 November, by Dan La Botz

  “In his victory speech Mamdani told his supporters that as mayor, ‘We will put an end to the culture of corruption that has allowed billionaires like Trump to evade taxation and exploit tax breaks’. Directly addressing the president, he said, ‘New York will remain a city of immigrants: a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and, as of tonight, led by an immigrant. So, hear me, President Trump, when I say this: To get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.’”

  9 November, by Fourth International Serbia delegation

  A year after the collapse of the canopy of the Novi Sad train station, which killed 16 people, the Serbian political landscape has been radically shaken by a student social movement of an intensity not seen in decades. A delegation from the Fourth International, composed of comrades from the GA (Gauche anticapitaliste, Belgium) and the NPA-A (Nouveau Parti Anticapitaliste, France), went to meet political, trade union, associative and student activists, to build bonds of solidarity with them and to bring their words back to our countries.

  Nobel Peace Prize: Beyond the Dismay…

  8 November, by Luís Bonilla-Molina

  The awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to María Corina Machado (MCM) sparked an unusual debate on social media. However, the arguments for and against are more driven by emotion than by reason.

The anti-racist movement is one of the essential devices that the left has to combat inequality. The anti-racist movement must not be an appendage, but a force.” Mamadou Ba, leader of SOS Racismo.
