Turkey is headed for tough times. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was reelected for a third term in the runoff elections on 28 May. The opposition was convinced it would win, following a period of unusually high inflation and disastrous earthquake relief efforts. Why were its hopes dashed?

Pueblo a Pueblo is a grassroots plan in Venezuela for organizing the production, distribution, and consumption of food that connects agricultural producers with urban dwellers. In this three-part series, Pueblo a Pueblo’s spokespeople talk about their organization’s history and its objectives.

Janata Weekly is India’s oldest independent socialist weekly.
Ever since its founding in 1946, Janata has voiced its principled dissent against all conduct and practice that is detrimental to the cherished values of nationalism, democracy, secularism and socialism, while upholding the integrity and the ethical norms of healthy journalism. For more than seventy years now, week after week, it has continued to analyse the changes taking place in the country and the world from a socialist standpoint, and thus promote the spread of socialist ideology in the country.
