The neoliberal model for regional development has been discredited in Latin America and the Caribbean. While progressive movements have come to power in many countries, they are finding it is not easy to solve the problems that they protested against, which brought them to power.
Biopiracy and biolooting are widely prevalent, and rarely, if ever, tackled. A major reason for this is weak laws in various biodiversity rich countries, or the lack of effective implementation of biodiversity protection laws even when they exist, as is the case in India.
The 2019 version of the bill was flawed. But in 2022, the government has gone all-out to protect the interests of Big Data, Big Capital, and the powers of the State at the cost of citizens’ privacy. Several civil society members have written a letter to MPs about their concerns with the proposed bill.
Stefania Maurizi is an investigative journalist who has worked on all WikiLeaks releases of secret documents. She talks about her latest book, “Secret Power: WikiLeaks and Its Enemies,” and how WikiLeaks revolutionised the world of journalism.

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.
Address: D-15, Ganesh Prasad, Naushir Bharucha Marg, Mumbai- 400007.
