The leader of Sinn Féin has expressed determination to form a
government of the left in Ireland as she insisted her party’s
performance in the General Election had broken the state’s political
mould. Despite Mary Lou McDonald’s confidence around shaping a
coalition without Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil – the two parties that
have dominated Irish politics for a century – it will be tough going
for Sinn Féin.

(Bagnolet, France)
The Organisation of Peasant and Indigenous Women (Conamuri) is a
powerful voice in Paraguay in the struggle for food sovereignty,
against the advance of agro-toxins, equal rights and a life free of
violence, and this year it celebrated its 25th anniversary. What is
the scope of action for a popular organisation in a country that has
been governed for almost 80 years by the same political party?

RED-TAGGING IN THE PHILIPPINES
[[link removed]]
_Soliman M Santos_ / Europe Solidaire Sans Frontières (Paris)
Soliman Santos offers a nuanced examination of red-tagging that speaks
directly to feminists and leftists struggling to build genuine
democratic spaces in the Philippines. By carefully dissecting recent
Supreme Court decisions, Santos reveals how simplistic narratives from
both state and revolutionary forces obscure crucial questions about
political organizing, transparency, and democratic rights.
