On the presidential elections in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela

The presidential elections in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela were an important democratic moment, in which millions of Venezuelans took part and whose results reaffirmed popular support for the Bolivarian process, which is all the more significant when it is expressed in the context of decades of resistance to the successive interference and destabilisation operations promoted by the USA and the European Union against Venezuela.

On the parliamentary elections in France

The early parliamentary elections, held on June 30 and July 7 in France, were marked by a new setback for the political forces that have supported President Macron's neoliberal government, an increase in the number of elected members of the "New Popular Front" electoral coalition, which came first in the second round of the elections, and an increase in the number of elected members of the far-right "Rassemblement National", which did not, however, achieve a majority.

May 9: Victory Day over Nazi-fascism - For Peace! No to fascism and war!

When celebrating the 79th. anniversary of the Victory over Nazi-fascism in World War II, it is imperative to remember that Nazi-fascism was the most violent and criminal form of exploitation and oppression spawned by capitalism, with its anti-communism, its racism and xenophobia, its attack on freedoms and democratic rights, its support of militarism and war.
