BUILDING THE DEMOCRACY FRONT
[[link removed]]
_Maria J. Stephan_ / Just Security (New York)
In Brazil, Poland, and France, politicians, business leaders,
religious actors, trade unions, popular sports figures, and other core
groups united to reject politicians who peddled fear and vowed to
strip away core freedoms. These groups and individuals instead rallied
around those who espoused a more hopeful, pluralistic vision for their
country. “Big tent” organizing was key to their success.

CUBA’S CRISIS
[[link removed]]
_Joy Gordon_ / Le Monde diplomatique (Paris)
Cuba is facing a moment that is extraordinarily precarious. While
numerous factors that have led to this — ranging from the pandemic
to natural disasters to economic policies that did not succeed — US
sanctions have, at every juncture, triggered or worsened every aspect
of the current crisis.
__________
_DIE LINKE_ CONGRESS
[[link removed]]
_Marc Martorell Junyent_ / Jacobin (Brooklyn)
Germany’s left-wing party is in trouble, with divides over Gaza
adding to the split by former spokeswoman Sahra Wagenknecht. At the
recent party congress, a new leadership set out plans to reconnect
with working-class voters in order to avoid collapse.

ANTIRACISTS CONFRONT RACISTS IN LONDON
[[link removed]]
_Brian Melley_ / Independent (London)
Thousands of supporters of jailed far-right activist Tommy
Robinson marched through London as anti-racism demonstrators
mounted a nearby counter-protest. Thousands of people organized by the
group Stand Up to Racism held signs saying “Refugees welcome”
and “Oppose Tommy Robinson.”

In Puerto Rico, Independence is Back on the Table
[[link removed]]
_Raquel Reichard_ / Refinery29 (New York)
Juan Dalmau, representing the Independence Party and the Citizen
Victory Movement, would make history as the first win by a candidate
outside of the two major parties that have long dominated Puerto Rican
politics. For decades, the New Progressive Party and the Popular
Democratic Party held an iron grip on the island's electoral system.

CHINA AND TAIWAN
[[link removed]]
_Guoguang Wu_ / Asia Society (New York)
How do nonmilitary and military means mutually support each other in
China’s overall reunification strategy? As the Taiwan populace
seemingly drifts further away in terms of a shared Chinese identity
and rejects future unification, why does China still deem nonmilitary
means optimal for dealing with Taiwan?
