The general wage increase is a national emergency
1 May 2023
This remarkable mobilization happens because the workers, who produce wealth (they are the ones who create wealth, they are the ones who make society work, the economy work) are then confronted with this brutal injustice: economic groups increasingly concentrating more profits (even in a scandalous way), and as for the workers, they are left with crumbs. This cannot be.

20 years of war and occupation of Iraq - lies, death, suffering and destruction
20 March 2023
Today marks the 20th. anniversary of the war and occupation of Iraq by the United States of America and its allies. The 2003 “Iraq war” constituted a flagrant violation of international law and of the sovereignty of that country, a crime launched based on a campaign of lies, going down in history the unspeakable staging by the then US Secretary of State, Colin Powell, in the UN Security Council, by presenting a list of falsehoods regarding the existence of “weapons of mass destruction” in Iraq which, as it turned out, did not exist.
