After a sit-in that lasted close to two months (from 6 April to 3 June), which brought down the 30-year rule of the hated dictator Omar al-Bashir on 11 April, after the massacre of more than a hundred people on 3 June by the Rapid Support Forces (the militia formed by the fallen dictator, which had played a sinister role in the events in Darfour under the name of Janjaweed), after the revolution raised its head once again, with hundreds of thousands, even millions coming out on 30 June, the ruling Transitional Military Council and the opposition Forces for Freedom and Change (formerly Alliance for Freedom and Change) declared on 5 July that they have finally come to an agreement. The previous negotiations, before they were interrupted by the massacre of 3 June, had led to the shared resolution of forming a so-called Sovereign Council that would appoint the government and oversee the transition to a civilian democratic rule, but had faltered over the question of which side would have a majority on the said council. The two sides have now come to an agreement that is based on five seats for each side plus one member being appointed by consensus.
Driven forward by its previous landslide victories in the European and local elections of May 26, 2019, the right wing New Democracy (ND) won also the snap parliamentary elections in Greece on July 7, getting a 39.85 per cent of the vote and the absolute majority of deputies to be able to form its own government.
But this last electoral victory was not neither “historic”, as the right wing propaganda claims nor a “strategic defeat” of the reformist Syriza, as a section of the ruling class and ND reaction hoped and put as a target. The leadership of the ND, and particularly its fascistoid new Minister of Agriculture Makis Voridis (a well known anti-Semite, former leader of the “youth “ of dictator Papadopoulos, leader of a small Le Penist far right group before joining ND) had publicly declared the aim was to smash completely not just Syriza but “any perspective in the future for a coming back of the Left, in any form, in Greece to re-capture power”.
A month has gone by since the European elections. In this while RedMed brought light and insight for its readers on the national results of 11 countries in 8 articles. Of the six largest countries, five were covered: Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Poland. Two more central and eastern European countries were taken up in addition to Poland, Hungary and Romania. The three Nordic countries members of the European Union (EU), i.e. Sweden, Denmark, and Finland were taken up together. And finally, Greece, the enfant terrible of the EU, was given special attention, through a party document of our sister organiser of RedMed, the EEK.
Le elezioni europee, svoltesi nel pieno della crisi capitalista, hanno portato sia diversi commentatori borghesi che molti compagni a lanciare un grido di allarme per l’avanzata del fascismo in Italia sorretto da un’ondata sovranista a livello continentale. Riteniamo che tali analisi manchino di un reale approfondimento sui rapporti tra il capitalismo italiano e quello europeo, sui possibili risvolti in merito ai rapporti di forza, tra le classi e all’interno delle classi, causati della non risolvibile crisi del debito pubblico italiano, sulla risposta appunto di classe, e non genericamente “di sinistra” o “progressista”, da mettere in campo contro i duri colpi di coda che un capitalismo decadente è in grado di assestare.
Solo ha transcurrido un año en la presidencia de Erdoğan, elegido el 24 de junio de 2018, pero el pueblo de Estambul ya les ha dado la espalda a él y a sus aliados. La gente castigó al AKP y sus aliados por la decisión ilegítima del Consejo Supremo Electoral de revocar y repetir las elecciones locales en Estambul. En esta elección que se repite bajo las condiciones prevalecientes de una de las crisis económicas más duras en Turquía, junto con las graves crisis políticas, el partido gobernante que codiciaba el pan y los votos de la gente perdió. A pesar de los gritos de “fraude electoral” por parte de la coalición AKP-MHP, el margen de votación aumentó aún más y el candidato del CHP-IYI, Ekrem Imamoglu, ahora es declarado alcalde de Estambul. ¡El margen inicial de 20 mil aumentó 40 veces hasta 800 mil votos!
It has only been a year in Erdoğan’s presidency, elected on 24 June 2018, but the people of Istanbul have already turned their backs on him and his allies. The people have punished AKP and their allies for the Supreme Electoral Council’s illegitimate decision to repeal and rerun Istanbul’s local elections. In this election repeated under the prevailing conditions of one of the harshest economic crises in Turkey, coupled with serious political crises, the ruling party that coveted people’s bread and votes lost. Despite cries of “voting fraud” by the AKP-MHP coalition, the vote margin increased even more and CHP-IYI candidate Ekrem Imamoglu is now declared the mayor of Istanbul. The initial margin of 20 thousand increased 40-fold to 800 thousand votes!
A conference on the historical legacy of Lev Davidovitch Trotsky took place in the capital of Cuba, Havana, in May. The Juan Marinello Cultural Research Centre, the Franz Hinkelammert Critical Social Thought Desk and the Philosophy Department of University of Havana organised this event. In addition to Cubans, many participants from Latin America, North America as well as Europe and Asia were present. The historical importance of this conference lay in the fact that this was the first event taking place in this land of revolution, after the construction of a workers’ state in Cuba and 60 years after the revolution. This call made to revolutionary Marxists of the entire world, at a moment where the conquests of the Cuban revolution as well as the very existence of the workers’ state is under the threat of imperialist aggression and bureaucratic oscillations, this international conference was of extraordinary importance from the standpoint of the struggle against capitalist restoration.
USA, on the 4th of June, announced that new sanctions will be imposed on Cuba. It was -classified under particular headings- possible to travel from the US to Cuba en masse. It was announced that, all group tours and cruise ships are now banned. What is the reason? Cuba's spoiling of stability, undermining the rule of law and suppressing democratic processes in support of enemies of the US in countries like Venezuela and Nicaragua. What they call the law of rule and democratic process is the self-proclaim of the US puppet Guaidó as president against Maduro who was elected by the people! The US support for democratic processes are to try to overthrow Maduro with a coup attempt and to hurl imperialist war threats on Venezuela!
We continue our series on the European Elections of 2019 with an article on Germany written by Kurtar Tanyılmaz after eight articles about the results in Hungary, Romania, Greece, Italy, France, Nordic countries (Sweden, Denmark and Finland, Poland and Spain.
When compared to previous elections, the recent European Parliament (EP) elections, which have been held in the 28 European Union (EU) member countries between the dates May 23rd -26th, had a remarkably high voter turnout rate (51%), out of a total electorate of 400 million voters. Influence of the pre-election call for “no vote for the nationationalist and racist parties” on the voters seems to have played an important role in boosting that high turnout. However, it neither helped the center-right (conservative Christian democratic parties mostly) and center–left (traditional social democratic parties) recover from their long-lasting decline nor impeded the rise of liberal, green, and racist-national parties.
After seven articles on the results of the European elections in Hungary, Romania, Greece, Italy, and France, the Nordic countries (Sweden, Denmark, and Finland) and Poland we continue our series with an article in Spanish by our comrades of the Grupo de Independencia Obrera (GIO-Group for Workers' Independence) of the Spanish state.
En España, los trabajadores han asistido a un largo encadenamiento de procesos electorales que tuvieron su origen en el exitoso voto de censura encabezado por el dirigente socialista Pedro Sánchez y su partido contra el presidente del gobierno Mariano Rajoy del Partido Popular en 2018. La caída de Rajoy fue el resultado de la incapacidad por dar una salida política a la crisis de Cataluña de un lado y la profunda corrupción del partido de gobierno ventilada todos los días en los juzgados. El que sigue es un balance del periodo electoral detonado por esa situación hasta la última convocatoria electoral del pasado mes de mayo.
After six articles on the results of the European elections in Hungary, Romania, Greece, Italy, and France and the Nordic countries (Sweden, Denmark, and Finland) we continue our series with an article on Poland by our friend Ewa Grosewska.
The European elections in Poland were running in the context of not much substantive fight between the ruling party Law and Justice ( Prawo i Sprawiedliwość (PiS)) and the opposition – Citizens’ Platform ( Platforma Obywatelska (PO)).
After five articles on the results of the European elections in Hungary, Romania, Greece, Italy, and France, we continue our series on the elections with an article on the Nordic countries (Sweden, Denmark, and Finland) by one of our associates in Finland, Muzaffer Ege Alper, working in collaboration with our comrades of the MTL (Marxist Workers' League) in that country.
Upon the announcement of the latest EU parliamentary election results, mainstream media all over Europe declared the victory of common sense against “populism”. The much-feared rise of nationalism did not occur, at least not enough to panic! Furthermore, voter turnout increased significantly for the first time in a long while. Does that not signify the increasing approval of EU! Yet is this also not the first time that the neoliberal “European People's Party (Christian Democrats) ” (EPP) and “Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats” (S&D) groups failed to obtain a majority in the EU parliament? Let us leave the EU-wide analysis to the other articles at RedMed and focus on the northern nations: Denmark, Sweden, and Finland.
After a general survey and four articles on the elections to the European Parliament in Hungary, Romania, Greece and Italy we continue our series with France with an article in French by our comrade Guy Hesser from ROR (Renaissance Ouvrière Révolutionnaire). Inquiets, les représentants des parti bourgeois et leur presse ont commencé par saluer un bond de participation de nature à re-légitimer les institutions européennes. Cependant, la divine surprise ne résiste pas aux statistiques données par le ministère de l’Intérieur. Sur 47 344 860 inscrits les votants n’ont été que 50,12 % et les abstentionnistes 49,88 %, à quoi il faut ajouter les votes blancs et nuls, plus tous ceux qui ne sont même plus inscrits sur les listes électorales, en particulier dans les quartiers populaires, tant ils constatent l’inutilité d’élections qui ne changent rien à leur vie (quand l’électorat n’est pas purement spolié du résultat des élections comme ce fut le cas lors de la consultation sur le prétendu traité constitutionnel en 2005). L’électorat populaire, dans toutes ses composantes, le monde du travail, est donc largement resté à l’écart des européennes.
After three articles on the results of the European Elections in Hungary, Romania and Greece, we continue our series on the elections with Italy, with an article by our comrade Murat Sayar from ROR (Renaissance Ouvrière Révolutionnaire) of France.
The meteoric rise of the Lega
After a general survey and two country studies on Hungary and Romania, we continue with an article by the Central Comitte of EEK (Workers Revolutionary Party) of Greece.
1. The political Waterloo of Syriza gave the electoral victory to the right-wing “|New Democracy”. The people did not forget the miserable Tsipras’ capitulation in front of the Troika in 2015, the savage “austerity” measures of the third and worst “Memorandum of Understanding” which followed, his servile attachment to the chariot of EU and NATO, even to the war drive adventures of Trump’s America in the Middle East, Eastern Mediterranean and the Balkans.
The head of the European parliamentary group of Syriza Papadimoulis from Brussels or any other apologists of Syriza dare now to attack the Greek people saying that “they forgot what is the Right”. Who, though, forgot the people itself? Who are guilty for the defamation of the name, the history, and the sacrifices of the Left in Greece?
After a general survey by Sungur Savran and an article on Hungary by our friend Matyas Benyik, we continue our series on the elections to the European Parliament with Romania, with an article by Ana Bazac.
We will be publishing articles on the results of the elections to the European Parliament of 2019 written by our comrades and friends from the different countries. After a general overview by our comrade Sungur Savran, we are beginning the country surveys with Hungary, with an article by our friend Matyas Benyik.
Foi um último período de carência. As eleições para o Parlamento Europeu deram uma última chance ao movimento organizado da classe trabalhadora e à esquerda da Europa antes da tempestade. O movimento proto-fascista, que o mundo inteiro chama persistente e cegamente de “populista”, alcançou grande sucesso nessas eleições, mas mesmo assim esse não foi o tipo de vitória que criará estragos imediatamente. Além disso, o movimento se apresentou em duas chapas diferentes para o Parlamento Europeu, dividido. Assim, a curto prazo, no rescaldo da eleição, seria incorreto dizer que o proto-fascismo criará um perigo imediato para as pessoas na Europa como um todo. Em alguns países, individualmente, a questão pode surgir. Desenvolvimentos podem acontecer em alguns dos países maiores (começando pela Itália, França e Grã-Bretanha, em cada um dos quais os partidos proto-fascistas atingiram o primeiro lugar eleitoral), com o movimento proto-fascista se tornando um elemento importante no dia a dia do país (na Itália isso já tinha começado desde que a Lega de Salvini se juntou a um esquema de compartilhamento de poder e se tornou um partido no poder). Assim, a curto prazo, o perigo está distante...
One last grace period. The elections to the European Parliament have provided one last chance to the organised working class movement of Europe and the left before the storm. The proto-fascist movement, which the whole world persistently and blindly names “populist”, attained great success in these elections, but nonetheless this was not the kind of victory that will create havoc immediately tomorrow. Moreover, the movement ran on two different slates for the European Parliament. It is, in other words, divided. Hence, in the short term, in the aftermath of the election, it would be incorrect to say that proto-fascism will create an immediate danger for the people on the scale of Europe as a whole. In certain countries taken singly the question may arise. Striking develoments may unfold in some of the bigger countries (starting with Italy, France, and Britain, in each of which the proto-fascist parties came first), with the proto-fascist movement becoming an important element in the day to day life of the country (in Italy this had already commenced since the Lega of Salvini joined a power-sharing scheme and became a ruling party). So in the short term the danger is distant for...
A Europa está se transformando rapidamente num campo de batalha crucial de uma guerra de classes internacional. A persistente luta, de seis meses de duração, dos Gillets Jaunes na França, a revolta dos trabalhadores na Hungria contra a "lei da escravidão" introduzida pelo regime nacionalista de Orban, as revoltas em massa e manifestações na Sérvia, Albânia, Romênia e em todo os Balcãs, são o prelúdio de uma nova onda de confrontos sociais e convulsões políticas no continente europeu.
A força motriz para o novo recrudescimento da luta das massas na Europa e além, como demonstram os levantes revolucionários na Argélia, no Sudão, no Haiti, etc., é a crise capitalista global. Ele permanece não apenas insolúvel, mais de uma década depois de sua erupção, mas também está entrando em uma nova fase explosiva. Todas as medidas extraordinárias usadas no período recente (pacotes de estímulo, flexibilização quantitativa, etc.) estão esgotadas e até mesmo produziram bolhas especulativas mais gigantescas do que aquelas que estouraram em 2007-2008, mergulhando a economia mundial em uma terceira grande depressão. Até mesmo o FMI adverte que a economia mundial está enfrentando, em 2019-...
1. Europe is being transformed rapidly into a crucial battlefield of an international class warfare.
The persistent, six months long, struggle of the Gillets Jaunes in France, the workers revolt in Hungary against the “slavery law” introduced by the far right nationalist Orban’s regime, the mass unrest and demonstrations in Serbia, Albania, Romania, and all over the Balkans, are the prelude to a new tide of social confrontations and political upheavals in the European Continent.
On Saturday May 4, 2019, in the Hall of the Union of Journalists (ESIEA) in Athens, Greece, the Balkan Socialist Center “Christian Rakovsky” and the RedMed web network organized a one day Emergency Encounter on Europe, on the eve of the crucial European Elections of May 23-26, 2019.
The Encounter was opened by the Introductory Remarks presented by Comrade Naz (DIP, Turkey) about the character and need of the Encounter. Comrade Naz also presented a Report on the situation in Turkey after the humiliating defeat of Erdogan in the local government elections of March 2019.
This is English translation of the statement of the Revolutionary Workers Party (DIP), amply adapted for the international reader and slightly abbreviated, on the decision of the Supreme Electoral Board (YSK) of the country for a rerun of the elections for the Istanbul Mayor.
The repeal of the elections for the Mayor of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality by the Supreme Electoral Board (YSK in its Turkish acronym) upon the request of the AKP and the MHP [respectively the party of Erdoğan and the traditional fascist party of Turkey which has been an Erdoğan ally lately] is the latest and most striking instance of the chaining of the people’s will by the despotic regime of Erdoğan. The decision made by the YSK is a breach of electoral law, as well as of its own jurisprudence and even of the precedents that it set itself for the 31st March local elections.
In the small hours of 30th April, the US puppet named Juan Guaidó, the self-appointed “president” of Venezuela, broadcast a video from a military base that showed him surrounded by some elements of the military and declared that his bid for Miraflores was entering its final stage. Guaidó has thus taken a step to consummate the civilian coup he has attempted with a military coup. While pretending that the army, or at least a sizeable section of it, has now gone to his side, the pseudo-president also called the people out on the streets. On May Day, both sides, the partisans of Guaidó as well as the workers and labourers who support Nicolás Maduro, the rightful president of the country, thronged the streets of Caracas in a show of force in two different demonstrations.
Η διεθνής ημέρα πάλης των εργατών πραγματοποιείται σε ένα πλαίσιο μεγάλων λαϊκών εξεγέρσεων σ’ ολόκληρο τον πλανήτη. Η εξέγερση στην Αϊτή, η αναγέννηση της Αραβικής Άνοιξης με τις επαναστατικές εκρήξεις στο Σουδάν και την Αλγερία – οι οποίες από λαϊκές εξεγέρσεις μετατρέπονται σε επαναστάσεις που καταστρέφουν τα διεφθαρμένα και καταπιεστικά καθεστώτα του καπιταλισμού-, οι κινητοποιήσεις στην Ουγγαρία κατά της εργασιακής μεταρρύθμισης και το επίμονο κίνημα των κίτρινων γιλέκων στη Γαλλία, οι μεγάλες απεργίες στην Κίνα, την Ινδία και το Μπαγκλαντές ή το εκρηκτικό κίνημα των γυναικών από την Αργεντινή έως το Μεξικό, από την Πολωνία έως την Ιρλανδία, έχουν ως κοινό παρονομαστή μια απάντηση των μαζών στην καπιταλιστική χρεοκοπία και τις συνθήκες βαρβαρότητας που αυτή συνεπάγεται. Η καπιταλιστική κρίση υπονομεύει την τρέχουσα τάξη και προκαλεί πολιτικές κρίσεις και κρίσεις του καθεστώτος ως όλο. H φετινή Πρωτομαγιά βρίσκει τον κόσμο στα πρόθυρα μιας νέας οικονομικής ύφεσης. Ο καπιταλισμός δεν μπόρεσε να βγει από το ρήγμα του 2007 και οι οικονομικές κρίσεις επαναλαμβάνονται, η διακοπή της παραγωγής, απολύσεις, το κλείσιμο επιχειρήσεων, και πτωχεύσεις ολόκληρων κρατών.
The international day of struggle of the workers will take place in a context of great popular rebellions throughout the planet. The uprising in Haiti, the rebirth of the Arab Spring with the revolutionary outbursts in Sudan and Algeria –which from popular revolts are turning into revolutions that throw down its capitalist regimes corrupted and repressive-, the mobilizations in Hungary against the labor reform and the persistent movement of the Yellow Vests in France, the great strikes in China, India and Bangladesh or the explosive movement of women from Argentina to Mexico, from Poland to Ireland, have as a common denominator a response from the masses to the capitalist bankruptcy and the barbarism conditions it implies. The capitalist crisis undermines the current order and gives place to political crises and of the regime as a whole.
El día internacional de lucha de los trabajadores tendrá lugar en un contexto de grandes rebeliones populares a lo largo y ancho del planeta. La sublevación en Haití, el renacer de la Primavera Árabe con los estallidos revolucionarios en Sudán y en Argelia -que de revueltas populares están deviniendo en revoluciones que tiran abajo a sus regímenes capitalistas corrompidos y represores-, las movilizaciones en Hungría contra la reforma laboral y el persistente movimiento de los Chalecos Amarillos en Francia, las grandes huelgas en China, la India y Bangladesh o el explosivo movimiento de mujeres desde Argentina hasta México, desde Polonia hasta Irlanda, tienen como común denominador una respuesta de las masas a la bancarrota capitalista y a las condiciones de barbarie que ella implica. La crisis capitalista socava el orden vigente y da lugar a crisis políticas y del régimen en su conjunto.

The upcoming European elections on the 23rd-26th of May 2019 are going to open a new stage in the ongoing crisis and dissolution process of the European Union. The new European Parliament and consequently EU institutions will be more fragmented than ever before.
The two traditional bourgeois political party blocs alternating in government power for decades, the Center Left social-democrats and the Center Right / Right wing, are facing a dramatic collapse of their influence because of the draconian neo-liberal “austerity” measures that they imposed on the popular masses, particularly during the last decade of crisis. They are now following the path of PASOK in Greece that led to its near liquidation.
Omar al Bashir, il dittatore del Sudan per 30 anni, autore del massacro di centinaia di migliaia di civili nelle guerre del Darfour e del Sud Sudan, nemico della classe operaia e dei poveri del Sudan, alleato dei Fratelli Musulmani (Ihwan), partner di Recep Tayyip Erdoğan e dell'AKP di Turchia, è stato estromesso grazie alla potenza e alla resilienza dimostrata dal movimento popolare che anima la lotta rivoluzionaria, che dura da quattro mesi e mezzo. Benedetti i popoli del Medio Oriente e dell'Africa! Abbiamo un debito di gratitudine verso il popolo sudanese per aver dimostrato ancora una volta che i despoti non sono più forti di un popolo in azione. Il nostro cuore batte per il successo della rivoluzione sudanese.
Αμφισβητώντας το αποτέλεσμα της εκλογικής ήττας του ο Ερντογάν ζήτησε επανακαταμέτρηση των ψήφων στην Κωνσταντινούπολη όπου ο υποψήφιος της αντιπολίτευσης Εκρέμ Ιμάμογλου κερδίζει το δήμο της εμβληματικής πόλης για μερικές χιλιάδες ψήφους. Σε κάθε περίπτωση το προφίλ του «Σουλτάνου» Ερντογάν έχει πληγεί ανεπανόρθωτα.
Mε ανακοίνωσή του για τις τοπικές εκλογές στην Τουρκία της 31ης Μάρτη, το DIP(Επαναστατικό Εργατικό Κόμμα), αμέσως μετά την έκδοση των αποτελεσμάτων αναφέρει
El gobierno del AKP de Erdogan ha sufrido una humillante derrota en las elecciones locales en Turquía. La clase obrera ha castigado al gobierno de Erdogan por la profunda crisis económica, en forma de estanflación, que se ha desarrollado en el país en los últimos seis meses y que promete causar aún más daño a la población trabajadora en un futuro cercano.
Omar al Bashir, the 30-year long dictator of Sudan, the perpetrator of the massacre of hundreds of thousands of civilians in the Darfour and South Sudan wars, the enemy of the working class and the poor of Sudan, the ally of the Muslim Brothers (the Ihwan), the collaborator of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and the AKP of Turkey, has been ousted as a result of the power and resilience displayed by the popular movement, the revolutionary struggle that has lasted for four and a half months. Blessings to the peoples of the Middle East and Africa! We owe a debt of gratitude to the people of Sudan for having demonstrated once again that despots are not stronger than a people in action. Our hearts beat for the success of the Sudanese revolution.
Riportiamo di seguito una brevissima sintesi della dichiarazione del DIP (Partito Operaio Rivoluzionario) sulle elezioni locali tenutesi in Turchia il 31 marzo 2019.
We provide below a very brief summary of the statement put out by DIP (Revolutionary Workers Party) on the local elections held in Turkey on 31 March 2019.
Erdoğan’s AKP government in Turkey has suffered a humiliating defeat at the local elections in Turkey. The working class has punished Erdoğan’s government for the deep economic crisis in the form of a stagflation that has gripped the country for the last six months and promises to cause even further damage for the labouring population for the foreseeable future.
The AKP lost the three biggest cities of Turkey, Istanbul, the capital city of Ankara, and Izmir, to the opposition. This is a defeat of historic proportions. Istanbul and Ankara had been in the hands of the AKP for the last quarter of a century! Moreover, the candidate that the AKP put up for the position of metropolitan mayor of Istanbul was an extraordinarily strong personality of the AKP, Binali Yıldırım, who earlier had served successively as Minister of Transport, Prime Minister and Speaker of Parliament.
Friends of Palestine against Imperialism and Zionism marched to the consulate of Israel in Istanbul, Turkey on 30th of March, the day which Palestinians have been celebrating as Land Day since 1976. Land Day has been one of the symbols of the resistance against Zionist occupation. Friends of Palestine raised the banner of anti-Zionism and anti-imperialism on this historic day, by marching against the common enemies of the peoples of Middle East. Meeting at 15.30 in front of the Zionist consulate in Istanbul, Friends of Palestine read a public statement.

La posta in gioco in Algeria è sempre più alta. Il movimento di massa sta guadagnando un livello di fiducia tale che è diventato molto difficile per qualsiasi tipo di regime allontanarne le persone. L’8 marzo, in concomitanza con la Giornata internazionale della donna lavoratrice, il terzo round delle manifestazioni contro il regime di Abdelaziz Bouteflika (il moribondo presidente della Repubblica d’Algeria che cercava di candidarsi per la quinta volta nelle prossime elezioni) è riuscito in una spettacolare dimostrazione di forza: la maggior parte delle fonti parla di centinaia di migliaia di persone nella sola capitale di Algeri e di milioni di manifestanti in tutto il paese. Un quotidiano algerino (Le Matin d’Algérie) afferma, sulla base presumibilmente di rivelazioni da parte delle forze di sicurezza, che il numero di persone che hanno manifestato in tutto il paese ha raggiunto la cifra gigantesca di 15 milioni.
Il Venezuela è riuscito a fermare l'attacco paramilitare effettuato principalmente attraverso il confine con la Colombia, così come al confine con il Brasile, comandato dal Dipartimento di Stato degli Stati Uniti, dai suoi assistenti, i presidenti latinoamericani lacchè e il loro burattino Guaidó.
La prima cosa da sottolineare è che il colpo di Stato è ancora in corso; la provocazione del tentativo del 23F [febbraio, n.d.t.] per ora è fallita, ma è ancora una priorità sconfiggere il colpo di Stato e continuare ad affrontare ogni possibilità di invasione militare.
Il ritiro momentaneo del piano guidato dal “gruppo di Lima” era dovuto alla sua mancanza di sostegno, nessun settore del Paese si è ribellato come ci si aspettava, ci sono state dimostrazioni di opposizione al disgustoso intervento gringo, mobilitazioni e manifestazioni di ripudio quasi in tutto il mondo contro l'invasione; l'altro punto cruciale, su cui avevano sbagliato i calcoli, è stato la coesione dell'esercito venezuelano che ha continuato ad essere il garante del governo di Maduro.
È necessario sconfiggere il colpo di Stato
Çürüyen kapitalist sistemin dünyayı içine sürüklediği barbarlık vahşi bir katliamla Yeni Zelanda’da baş gösterdi. Şimdiden 49 kişinin hayatını yitirdiği ve çok sayıda yaralının olduğu bu katliamı en güçlü duygularla kınıyoruz. Katliamlar yaratan çürümüş düzenin tepesindeki emperyalist liderlerin döktükleri timsah gözyaşlarının aksine duyduğumuz acı, faşizme ve ırkçılığa karşı öfkemizi bilediği kadar halkların kardeşliği için mücadele kararlılığımızı da güçlendirmektedir.
