[[link removed]]
_Grace Blakeley et al._ / transform! Europe (Vienna)
What will Trump’s economic policies mean for the global economy, for
the European Union and for the Global South? How will they affect the
relationship between labor and capital within the United States?
Journalists from Lava Media asked Grace Blakeley, Sam Gindin, Rémy
Herrera, Jörg Kronauer, Peter Mertens, Michael Roberts, Ingar Solty
and James Meadway.

_W.T. Whitney Jr._ / People’s World (New York)
Addressing 350,000 people on Jan. 12, Sheinbaum promised, “We
(Mexico) will not return to the neoliberal model; we will not return
to the regime of corruption and privileges, we will not let the
decadence of the past return, where we governed for a few. We will
continue with … the maxim ‘For the good of all, [but] first the
poor.’”

PALESTINE IN THE IRISH PARLIAMENT

Irish Republican News
A blistering row over speaking time in the Dublin parliament has
frustrated the new government’s attempt to approve its revamped
political agenda, including a controversial plan to dishonour its
pre-election promises on the issue of Palestine.

SYRIA’S DELAYED REVOLUTION

_Asef Bayat_ / Al-Jumhuriya (Berlin)
The claim that recent developments in Syria have from the very
beginning been part of a plan orchestrated by foreign powers does not
appear to reflect the reality. There is no doubt, however, that the
current situation has created a relative vacuum in the power
structure, which foreign entities such as Israel and Turkey are
exploiting to try to create new territorial realities.

_BEYOND THE FRAGMENTS_: A BREAKTHROUGH TEXT

_Rachel Collett and Alfie Steer_ / Society for the Study of Labour
History (Newcastle)
Earlier this year, a one-day conference was held to mark 45 years
since the publication of the seminal socialist-feminist text, _Beyond
the Fragments: Feminism and the Making of Socialism. _Co-authored by
Sheila Rowbotham, Lynne Segal and Hilary Wainwright, the book argued
that the Women’s Liberation Movement offered a unique insight for
socialist organising at the end of the 1970s.

_Siyabonga Sithole_ / IOL (Cape Town)
Amid chants of ‘we do not want the GNU (Government of National
Unity)’, the relationship between the African National Congress and
the Democratic Alliance found itself under the microscope during the
South African Communist Party’s commemoration of Joe Slovo’s
legacy at the Avalon Cemetery in Soweto.

[[link removed]]
_Kirsty Hoban_ / Inside Indonesia (Melbourne)
A flurry of political activity is something new for the factory
workers of Bekasi. They finally have someone to vote for, because
leaders of Federasi Serikat Pekerja Metal Indonesia (FSPMI, Federation
of Metal Workers’ Union) are standing as candidates at the district,
provincial and national level.
