WORLD DEMANDS GLOBAL NORTH CLIMATE ACCOUNTABILITY
[[link removed]]

EnviroNews Nigeria (Lagos)

Activists worldwide are urging Global North governments to pay USD 5
trillion annually as a down payment for their climate debt to the
disproportionately affected Global South. Several protests were
organised the world over, asking that the developed countries pay for
their overwhelming share in carbon emissions that have brought climate
change on the world.

York)

After more than a decade of debates about plurinationalism within the
National Women’s Encuentro, _Feministas del Abya Yala_, a
transnational feminist network, became key proponents in rallying for
common recognition of women, lesbians, trans, travesti, bisexual, and
nonbinary people.

TUNISIA PRE-ELECTION PROTESTS

Thousands of Tunisians took to the streets in the Tunisian capital and
other parts of the country on Friday, to demand the restoration of
democratic freedoms and the release of political prisoners and
journalists. The protests come less than a month before the country is
set to hold its third presidential election since the
2011 revolution.

FRENCH LEFT CHALLENGES

_La France Insoumise_ needs to bring together the trade unions,
associations, and other parties in the Left, from the PCF to LFI’s
own “dissidents”, to help form Assemblies of the _Nouveau Front
Populaire_ — an alliance that needs to lay down strong roots, within
the perspective of a break with neoliberalism.

MARTINIQUE: COST OF LIVING PROTESTS MEET REPRESSION
[[link removed]]

Loop News

Violent protests broke out on the French Caribbean island of
Martinique last week over the high cost of living. France has sent a
group of special anti-riot police that’s been banned for 65 years.
The measure was met by defiance, with massive peaceful protests
breaking out Saturday night. A transport and a health workers union
each joined the protest effort, with strikes and civil disobedience.

PARTIES TEAM UP FOR AUSTRIAN REGIONAL ELECTIONS

_András Juhász_ / LeftEast

Although on a smaller scale than the rise of the Austrian far right,
another success story is unfolding in the Central European country.
The Communist Party of Austria (KPÖ), supported by other left-wing
organizations, is very likely to enter parliament for the first time
since 1956. The Austrian left is determined to fight hard to prevent
the far right from gaining power.

KENYAN PROTESTS IN PERSPECTIVE
[[link removed]]

_Monicah Gachuki_ / Global Labour Column (Johannesburg)

The recent wave of rebellions was not an isolated development but
rather reflected deep-seated frustrations among the Kenyan population,
particularly the nation’s youth. These frustrations stemmed from a
range of issues including economic hardship, unemployment, corruption,
and a perceived disconnect between government priorities and the needs
of the people.

ARCE VS EVO: A BROKEN ALLIANCE
[[link removed]]

_Thomas Graham_ / The Guardian (London)

The last time Evo Morales led a cross-country march, it was to defend
the government of Luis Arce, his old ally from the _Movimiento al
Socialismo_. Three years later, Bolivia’s former president is
leading another such protest – but this time his aim is to
“save” the country from the same man, who has become his bitter
rival.

__________
FASCISM AND CLASS
[[link removed]]

_Anton Jäger_ / Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung (Berlin)

Perhaps the most remarkable thing about the new far-right forces is
their seeming ability to draw working-class support in a way
historical fascist and reactionary parties could not. This fact raises
difficult but vital questions for any left project in Europe, both now
and in the future. How can the new proletarian swing to the right be
understood, and more importantly, can it be reversed?
