  Unwavering support for Ukraine

  11 October, by Fred Leplat

  Ukraine is still resisting heroically Russia’s imperialist war of annexation. Hopes had been placed on the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska for a ceasefire. But in the run-up to the summit and since , Russia escalated its attacks on Ukraine with more drones and missiles targeting civilian housing and infrastructure while making only limited progress on the ground. Russia has now also sent drones over Poland and Romania.

  Lyes sentenced to six months in prison in Algeria

  9 October, by Collective

  “Algeria is experiencing a situation where the regime has entered, since the Hirak, a repressive and authoritarian spiral that is intended to be “transitional”, hence the “suspension” of the parties that are considered as trouble-makers (notably the PST) and not the banning of them. But the regime does not emerge from its internal contractions: each negation opens onto another negation. It reacts with intermittent repression, like a sword of Damocles.”

  A Bitter Account, Two Years into the Catastrophe

  8 October, by Gilbert Achcar

  Despite Israel’s strenuous attempts to commemorate the tragic events of 7 October 2023, and the overwhelming Western sympathy it received in the wake of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, what dominates the global conscience today – two years after the operation – is primarily the far greater tragedy that the Zionist state has since inflicted on the people of Gaza and Palestine.

  China and the IMF, supported by BRICS+, provided a lifeline to Javier Milei’s far-right government in Argentina

  7 October, by Éric Toussaint

  In September 2025, after having presided over the country since December 2023, the neo-fascist Javier Milei suffered an electoral defeat in an important vote. The result was the election in the province of Buenos Aires. This election renewed 46 seats in the provincial Chamber of Deputies and 23 in the provincial Senate. The Peronist opposition beat Milei’s party by 13 points and holds a majority in the Buenos Aires Provincial Senate. The capital province represents about 37-38% of the national electorate. The provincial elections in Buenos Aires always serve as a major test at the national level, including for Javier Milei this year.

  The BRICS and de-dollarisation

  7 October, by Éric Toussaint

  Many perceive the BRICS countries as a counterweight to the dollar-dominated monetary order. However, the facts speak for themselves: at the BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro (6–7 July 2025), no real desire to break away from the US currency was expressed.
