NATO Summit: China in the crosshairs

The NATO Summit in Madrid on 28-30 June took place against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine. For all the talk about “unity”, the reality is that there is a deep rift between the US and the German-France axis. For the first time, the new NATO Strategic Concept document describes China as a “systemic challenge.” This is an official recognition of the relative decline of US imperialism and the threat posed by a rising power.

The war in Ukraine, rising oil prices and spiralling global inflation have fuelled food scarcity and surges in the price of basic goods in Egypt. Most worrying among the goods affected is bread, which makes up almost 40 percent of the average Egyptian’s diet.

Massacre à la frontière espagnole de Melilla : le gouvernement et la bourgeoisie espagnols sont responsables

Aux premières heures du vendredi 24 juin, des centaines de migrants ont tenté de traverser la frontière entre le Maroc et l’Espagne à Melilla. Ils ont été victimes d’une répression féroce de la part de la police espagnole et de la gendarmerie marocaine. A l’heure où nous écrivons, le bilan de cette tragique journée est, selon les ONG locales, de 37 morts et 76 blessés dont 13 graves. Cette catastrophe s’est produite à peine quelques mois après la signature d’un traité entre le gouvernement espagnol et la dictature marocaine.

Gli ultimi giorni di Boris Johnson: cacciamo i Tories! Abbattiamo il capitalismo!

Il governo di Johnson sta implodendo, con le dimissioni di due membri importanti del suo gabinetto la scorsa notte. Chiunque finisca al numero 10 ( di Downing Street, residenza del Primo ministro, ndt), tuttavia, si troverà di fronte a una tempesta perfetta di stagflazione e lotta.
