HOW BOLIVIANS DEFEATED THE COUP ATTEMPT
[[link removed]]
_Marcela Heredia_ / Peoples Dispatch (New Delhi)
Several factors came together so that democracy and the legally
constituted government did not suffer a coup d’état by some
military officers. President Luis Arce stays, confronts, faces the
coup general and orders him to retreat. Second, the rapid response of
the people who moved by the thousands towards the seat of government,
towards the Casa Grande.

THE FATE OF THE IRANIAN AND PALESTINIAN LEFT
[[link removed]]
_Omid Montazeri _/ Verso (London)
The genocide in Gaza has created new fault lines within the global
Left. Friendships, families, relationships and solidarities have been
cut through. Palestine was once the beating heart of a united front, a
“national liberation movement”, shared by many factions of the
left in Iran. Returning to their shared history may open the path for
reclaiming the abandoned legacy of the left.

RECLAIMING CONGO’S RICHES
[[link removed]]
_Vijay Prashad_ / Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research
The struggle of the Congolese people today has centred on establishing
sovereignty over their territory and ensuring human dignity. This
struggle for liberation cannot be waged solely on a national level,
given that the forces keeping the Congolese in bondage operate
globally.

ARGENTINA: FEMINIST MASS MOVEMENT
[[link removed]]
_Malena Nijensohn and Luciana Serrano_ / NACLA Report (New York)
As a far-right, denialist government threatens to roll back hard-won
gains, Argentine feminists and the mothers and grandmothers fighting
for justice for the disappeared remain linked in a decades-old
friendly bond of struggle.

TESLA STRIKERS STANDING STRONG
[[link removed]]
_Guillaume Amouret_ / Equal Times (Brussels)
Citizens and trade unions in Europe continue to fight against the
methods employed by the American company Tesla. While plans to expand
the company’s German production site at Grünheide, near Berlin, are
still being contested by local environmental activists, Tesla
mechanics in Sweden have been on strike for the last eight month. They
have been supported by a large cross-industry boycott.

TOKYO GOVERNOR RACE
[[link removed]]
_Justin McCurry_ / The Guardian
The contest between incumbent Yuriko Koike and Renho Murata is being
seen as a proxy war between the governing Liberal Democratic party
[LDP], and the main opposition Constitutional Democratic party [CDP].
Renho, who left the CDP to run as an independent, has the support of
her former party and, controversially, the Japanese Communist
party [JCP].

EUROPE: PUBLIC SECTOR UNIONS’ ENERGY DEMANDS
[[link removed]]
Trade Unions for Energy Democracy (New York)
The European Public Service Union (EPSU), representing the
continent’s public service unions, met to discuss the European
Parliament election outcomes, and the importance of rescuing the
EU’s ambitious climate commitments embodied in the 2019 European
Green Deal.

PALESTINE: CULTURE OF AN EMBATTLED PEOPLE
[[link removed]]
_Decca Muldowney_ / New Internationalist (Oxford)
Palestine’s poets, novelists, musicians and journalists have not
only voiced their people’s liberation struggle but also driven
it. The tragic irony is that the Palestinian narrative is louder now
than it has been in decades. Despite the lack of Western media access
to Gaza, for example, the work of Palestinian journalists on the
ground has found an enormous international audience through social
media.
