LA VIA CAMPESINA: PEASANTS ORGANIZE WORLDWIDE
[[link removed]]
_Jun Borras_ / Transnational Institute (Amsterdam)
La Via Campesina has shown the important role of agrarian movements
in anti-capitalist struggles and the radical reimagination and
construction of a positive future. The significance of LVC is found in
what it represents in terms of an alternative future that is so
different from the current agrarian world.

UNIONS MEET ON HAITI
[[link removed]]
_Frédéric Thomas_ / Equal Times (Brussels)
A union-organized gathering had two objectives: to (re)launch an
international solidarity campaign with Haiti, based on the analyses
and the demands of Haitian organisations in general and, more
specifically, the “roadmap” of Haiti’s largest unions, and to
reaffirm that trade unions are anchored in the Haitian social movement
and fully committed to the project to secure a “transition of
rupture”.

QUESTIONS FACING THE ANTI-NETANYAHU MOVEMENT
[[link removed]]
_Haggai Matar_ / 972+ (Tel Aviv)
Never before have Israelis risen up in such numbers with such
commitment against their own government — to the point that they
have effectively brought it to its knees. The question now is: where
is this all heading? What does this all mean for the future of Israeli
politics? And perhaps most importantly, what could it spell for
Palestinians?
__________
HIROSHIMA EX-MAYOR DEFIES JAPANESE MILITARISM
[[link removed]]
_Tadatoshi Akiba_ / The Mainichi (Tokyo)
As the G-7 Hiroshima summit approaches, the deep divide between the
government of Prime Minister Fumio Kishida with its supporters and
those who have fought to eliminate nuclear weapons together with the
hibakusha (A-bomb survivors) has become more than visible.
__________
THE WORD FROM THE NUEVO PER
[[link removed]]ú PARTY
[[link removed]]
_Zoe Alexandra_ / Peoples Dispatch (New Delhi)
Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets throughout the
country to demonstrate their rejection of the de facto government of
Dina Boluarte and the National Congress. To understand the context in
Peru today after three months of mobilization and
repression, _Peoples Dispatch_ spoke with the secretary general of
the left political party Nuevo Perú, Enver León.
__________
WESTERN SAHARA AND PALESTINE
[[link removed]]
_Nithya Nagarajan_ / Socialist Project (Toronto)
Both the Saharawi and Palestinian refugee camps seem as worlds without
horizons. The youth endure the suffocation of imperial powers that
deny both peoples their right to self-determination. Yet the dominant
factions of the Palestinian national movement are pitted against one
of the most silenced liberation movements in the world, that of the
Saharawi people.

CRISIS IN THE INTERNATIONAL TRADE UNION CONFEDERATION
[[link removed]]
_Victor Baez_ / Global Labour Column (Johannesburg)
We tend to think of corruption solely as the act of a selfish
individual – the proverbial bad apple – and forget about the
conditions that allow it to thrive. This is often a combination of
factors such as concentration of power in one person, weak processes
of checks and balances, bendy rules, insufficient transparency and,
more importantly, the lack of real democracy in decision making.
