_Martina Rodriguez_ / Labour Hub (London)
In Argentina’s national legislative elections, the two main parties,
right and center-left, were the main contenders. But in the City of
Buenos Aires district, the Trotskyist left won seats after 20 years of
Parliamentary inactivity, and became the third national political
force, and the far right Libertarian Party got its first MPs in
history.

The left-wing Democratic Way of Morocco has been prevented from
holding a crucial Congress. This is only the latest chapter in a long
campaign of repression and intimidation waged against the movement by
the state.

Before her election as President, Castro agreed to recognize
Congressman Luis Redondo (Salvador Party of Honduras) as the president
of the National Congress. While Redondo was sworn in as head of
Congress, a simultaneous session of opposition legislators swore in
Jorge Cálix, a renegade from Castro’s LIBRE party, as Congress
president.

_Chandni Desai_ / Roar (Amsterdam)
Indigenous struggles highlight the importance of developing meaningful
principled solidarity by building constellations of connections by
either supporting one another’s actions, establishing joint
campaigns and developing relationships, as well as cultural production
that can sustain our spirits.

There are tens of thousands of Myanmar migrants across Thailand who
voluntarily contribute to Myanmar’s democracy movement, known
locally as the Spring Revolution against the junta. Every month they
typically donate 200-1,500 baht from their salaries, which vary from
6,000 to 10,000 baht.

_Ricci Shryock_ / Africa is a Country (New York)
During Guinea-Bissau’s war of liberation (1963-74), women filled key
positions on the frontline. That is often forgotten in the mythology
of the struggle for independence.
