Nooshi – do you dare to do as Spain's Social Democrats have done?

Alex Fuentes — 2026-03-07T16:54:57Z

“What kind of leader is Nooshi, who does not dare to take a ‘clear and unambiguous' stance like the Spanish Social Democrats, whom she herself often praises?.”

US out of Venezuela!

Anticapitalistas — 2026-01-04T11:41:04Z

On 3 January 2026, the US took a qualitative leap forward in its imperialist violence, bombing Venezuela and kidnapping Nicolas Maduro. We do not yet know the details of the operation, but we do know the background.

This year's three-week cycle race round the Spanish State, La Vuelta, has set numerous records. Not in terms of sporting prowess, but in regard to the popular mobilisations to stop it being used to whitewash Israel's genocide in Palestine.

Racist riots in Murcia

Irene García Galán — 2025-07-24T08:08:00Z

Torre Pacheco, a Spanish town of 40,000 inhabitants located in the province of Murcia, has become the scene of large-scale racist violence since 12 July. Organized far-right groups are going there from all over the country to carry out veritable manhunts for North African men, and more particularly Moroccans. It is reminiscent of the images that came to us from the United Kingdom a few months ago.

Miguel Urbán: "There are still set-ups like the one I suffered. There are police infiltrating social movements."

Miguel Urbán Crespo — 2025-06-21T05:06:33Z

The leader of Anticapitalistas believes that the police plot that sought to implicate him in the alleged sale of 40 kilos of cocaine in 2016 was intended to attack Podemos "at a key moment in the politics of change" and announced, in an interview with elDiario.es, his willingness to take that conspiracy to the courts.

Because it won't be the last blackout: What energy model and distribution system for the ecological transition?

Daniel Albarracín — 2025-06-17T04:46:07Z

The blackout of April 28 shook the Iberian Peninsula and southern France for several hours. Everyone who lives there was affected in some way. It has been a topic of conversation that, to avoid remaining an anecdote, requires some in-depth analysis, given the systemic risks of a repeat. We must draw lessons for the future.

New Disorder, Geopolitical Transition and Militarization of Europe

Jaime Pastor — 2025-05-09T13:11:14Z

The new era that the reactionary bloc grouped around Trump aspires to impose on a global scale has just begun, but we are already seeing the contradictions and resistances of different scope that are manifesting themselves in the face of that project.

For an intransigent opposition to the rearmament of capitalist Europe

Anticapitalistas — 2025-03-30T13:01:34Z

The drums of war are already generating a deafening din. Governments, companies and the media are united in repeating in unison warmongering slogans reminiscent of the turbulent beginnings of the 20th century. Defend Europe, defend its values, boost the military industry and even bring back compulsory military service. Europe is in danger, it stands alone in a hostile world and must rearm. Dark and toxic winds are blowing, which will sweep away any prospect of emancipation.

Rent levels have been on everyone's lips in recent months, and not for nothing. Not only because it's a problem that affects hundreds of thousands of people, but also because the housing rights movement has succeeded in getting tens of thousands of people onto the streets of Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Gijón, Burgos, Zaragoza, Salamanca and other cities.
