In the time of predators

Antoine Larrache, Franck Gaudichaud, Héctor A. Rivera — 2026-03-05T14:52:00Z

The attack against Venezuela in early January and the abduction of Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores are part of the new U.S. strategy within the broader reorganization of the world and of inter-imperialist power relations. This aggressive strategy notably involves increased economic pressure and direct military interventionism toward Latin America.

In defence of Cuba against the neocolonial blockade and starvation imposed by Trump

Ana C. Carvalhaes, Israel Dutra, João Machado, Manuel Rodríguez Banchs — 2026-02-13T18:09:32Z

The neo-fascist in the White House is attempting to bring the Caribbean island and its government to its knees, strangling it economically once and for all, killing its people with darkness and scarcity. But this is not “just” a war against Cuba and its revolutionary tradition. It is the continuation of the war against the sovereignty of all Latin American countries and Latino peoples within the United States. Scheinbaum, Lula, Petro, Orsi and the social democratic governments must emphatically oppose this crime in all international forums and organisations.
