In mid-January 2021, nationwide protests against the government of Emanuel Macron in France entered their seventh continuous week. Lakhs of workers are out on the streets, opposing Macron’s plans to dismantle France’s substantial welfare state.
The Arab Spring that took place a decade should be seen as an ‘initial phase’ in a long-term revolutionary process. The path to salvation is long and arduous, but the determination to take it is enhanced by the awareness that the only alternative is ignominy and extinction.
In Ecuador’s presidential election held on February 7, 2021, Andrés Arauz got the maximum number of votes, but not enough to win outright. The U.S., the OAS, and the various right-wing parties in Ecuador are conspiring to try and prevent Arauz from contesting the second round.
Farmers are uniting and protesting as never before in India. They are ignoring the caste, religious, and class boundaries that normally divide them. Prime Minister Modi planned to encircle the farmers. But the farmers are now encircling his government.
Press Statement: Young environmental activists, that the country should be proud of, are the latest victims of the Centre’s continuing efforts to deligitimise the ongoing farmers protest and the nationwide solidarity it has generated. We demand that Disha Ravi be immediately released.
Ravi is a 21-year old who volunteers with Fridays for Future, a movement started by Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg.
Over the past week, Myanmar’s citizens are openly and publicly challenging the country’s powerful military, whose coup earlier this month now threatens to stifle the country’s fledgling democracy.
The model the Modi Government is seeking to impose on Indian agriculture is similar to that imposed on Mexican agriculture since the onset of IMF-dictated ‘reforms’ in the 1980s.
The fighting spirit of the farmers has kept the agitation alive through the past two months. The farmers on the ground at the Delhi siege and those supporting them from the villages assert that this will see their struggle through all the machinations of the propagators of the “Big Lie”.
In August 2020, following the Belarusian presidential election, the opposition has organised protests, calling for the resignation of President Alexander Lukashenko. Nadezhda, a Belarusian journalist, provides an anti-imperialist overview for what is taking place.
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.
