SELF-DETERMINATION AND THE FUTURE OF EUROPE
[[link removed]]
_Declan Kearney_ / trnsform!europe (Vienna)
Irish reunification is not inevitable, but it is closer than at any
time in history. These European Parliament elections are an
opportunity to unite in common purpose for equality and hope for the
future. National self-determination should be central to our
democratic vision for Europe.

Once a factory for brass musical instruments and later the meeting
point for France’s metalworkers’ union, the Maison des Metallos is
a symbol of Belleville’s rapidly disappearing working class. Now in
its seventh week of occupation, the Maison is currently home to the
Collectif des Jeunes du Parc de Belleville, or the Belleville Park
Youth Collective.

Ecuador is the first country in the world to halt oil exploitation
through a referendum. Despite the pressure from environmental groups
and Indigenous communities, Ecuador’s government now plans to
ignore the popular vote

Nigeria’s trade unions have suspended a general strike by workers
that has brought economic activity to a halt this week. The decision
comes after the government promised to increase the national minimum
wage to at least 60,000 naira ($40, £32) a month. The strike began
on Monday and led to the shutdown of the country's power grid, leaving
millions without electricity.

KPÖ: A PARTY ON THE RISE
[[link removed]]
_Georg Kurz and Sarah Pansy_ / Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung (Berlin)
Public interest in Austria’s Communist Party rises dramatically
after every successful election. We have a broader understanding of
our potential as a party: we want a society based in solidarity, so we
have already begun organizing it. We are “deinstitutionalizing” by
building community structures ourselves and gradually taking on more
and more state responsibilities.

_Ramzy Baroud_ / Palestine Chronicle (Mountlake Terrace WA)
Thanks to Palestinian memory, Palestinians are once more united around
their understanding of the past, the steadfastness of the present and
the hope for a just future.

_Ana Priscila Alves and Bianca Pessoa_ / Capire (Ankara)
In Venezuela, women resist and are at the forefront of the political
struggle, from everyday life to broader collective processes. Here
are some organizing and mobilization experiences by Venezuelan women
building a society centered around life, free from violence.

GUYANESE PPP DROPPING “MARXISM-LENINISM”
[[link removed]]
_Denis Chabrol_ / Demerara Waves (Georgetown)
Persons familiar with the PPP’s evolution, believed that a move to
remove Marxism-Leninism and socialism from their party’s
constitution was aimed at satisfying the United States, Guyana’s
major trading, investor and national security sector partner.
