For centuries, the wreckage has piled up in Colombia – the dead and disappeared, the ‘nobodies’ discarded in the course of its uneven development. Now a storm is finally blowing in from Paradise. The task of the left – alongside Petro and the Pacto – is to guarantee that the storm does not bring darkness and sweep it all away.
In the United States, medical debt cripples 41% of all adults and they scramble to pay outrageous bills. In Nicaragua, medical care is free – and of great quality, as the Nicaraguan government gives priority to providing free education and health to all its people.
People are crying, embracing, yelling, as the streets fill with joy. Horns honk and people dance in the middle of avenues. They can’t believe that the news traveling by word of mouth, tweet to tweet, news show to news show, is really true. As the minutes and hours pass, they confirm that it is true: This June 19th they—the Nobodies—have won.
Panama has been paralyzed by huge protests for more than three weeks. The uprising is rooted in rising prices and worsening inequality. Finally, in July-end, the government signed agreements to cap fuel prices, medicine prices and increase the education budget.
Cuba has moved from 59 infant deaths out of every 1,000 live births to no infant deaths in the matter of a few decades, an extraordinary feat indeed. Also: Reminiscences of E.P. Menon from his visit to Cuba in 1966 as a part of an Indian delegation to the first ever Tri-Continental Conference.
The social organizations and trade unions, which called for the ongoing national strike in Panama, have signed an agreement with the right-wing government to reduce and freeze the price of fuel at USD 3.25 per gallon.
Correa’s policies from 2007-2017 proved to be a successful alternative to neoliberalism. CONAIE’s protests in 2019 and 2022 have been a solid resistance against neoliberal policies. Both need to find a way to articulate with each other, only then will the people gain the necessary strength to defeat neoliberalism.
July 19 is a day of celebration in Nicaragua: the anniversary of the overthrow of the Somoza dictatorship. Ignoring the remarkable transformation that has taken place in the lives of the Nicaraguans under the Sandinista government, the international media continue to dish out lies.
Indigenous and campesino communities turn to strikes, road blockages, and other confrontational tactics to reclaim their political agency.
An interview with the former president of Bolivia about a range of subjects — including the British-backed coup of 2019, Julian Assange, NATO and transnational corporations — at Morales’ house deep in the Amazon rainforest.

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.
