    Italy: The stakes of the March referendum on justice

    23 March, by Hélène Marra

    In Italy, prime minister Giorgia Meloni’s government is continuing its authoritarian offensive with a reform of the judiciary that threatens the independence of the judiciary. The referendum on 22 and 23 March is a central political issue. After the “security” decree, the reform of the judiciary is another important link in the authoritarian project promoted by Meloni’s government. By changing the methods of electing members of the Supreme Council of the Judiciary (CSM), the latter threatens the independence of this body and limits its ability to act as a counter-power to the political and economic systems. The victory of the “No” vote in the referendum on 22 and 23 March is an important opportunity to destabilise Meloni’s coalition and to solidify the political and social opposition camp.

    The Imperialist Threat and the Possible Courses of the Conflict

    23 December 2025, by Luís Bonilla-Molina

    As if they were scripts written by Warren Ellis – The Authority, Transmetropolitan, Planetary – in which exaggerated arguments abound, during the last four months we have witnessed a disproportionate media and military offensive against Venezuelan sovereignty. The double standard of the US administration has gone from buying Venezuelan oil – under neocolonial commercial conditions, as a result of the sanctions imposed by themselves and the compliant attitude of the Maduro government – to presenting the state leadership as a criminal cartel dedicated to drug trafficking, with the aim of justifying a deployment and eventual military attack.

    Memories of Gilbert Leclercq

    11 December 2025, by Daniel Tanuro, Gilbert Leclercq

    “Gilbert’s commitment was the antithesis of sectarianism. For several years, he had systematically drawn attention to the urgent need for unity in anti-capitalist action in the face of the danger of the far right exploiting social frustrations within the working class itself in order to recruit disaffected elements to the service of reaction. Denouncing electoral illusions, he tirelessly advocated a united front, "the only way to ensure the mobilization of all those called upon to fight if they wish to live with dignity, freedom, and protection from abject poverty." ”

    8 December 2025, by Mary Therese L. Norbe

    As the world spearheads 16 Days, an annual awareness campaign to prevent violence against women and girls that covers the period from November 25 to December 10, a new humanitarian analysis conducted by CARE in the Philippines reveals a stark reality. In Northern Cebu province of Philippines, thousands of women, girls, and boys are living and sleeping in the open. They have no walls, no lighting, and no sense of safety they once knew. “Living Without Fear” is CARE’s focus during the 16 Days awareness campaign.
