Political Crisis in Peru

BY JAN LUST Since the impeachment of Peru’s president Pedro Castillo on 7 December 2022, Peru has attracted the attention of policy makers all over the world. The massive protests that followed Castillo’s detention resulted in dozens of deaths, mainly caused by bullets from the army or the police. In this article, we discuss the origin and evolution of the political crisis in Peru and its economic effects. The victory of the Left in the Peruvian presidential elections of 2021 was a historical electoral result for the progressive forces which is only comparable with the electoral successes in the 1980s. The electoral win did not come as a surprise because, since the presidential elections of 2006, the results for the Left have been remarkable, especially in the ...

Are We Living Through a De-Dollarization?

BY JUSTIN PODUR Photo by maria pagan De-dollarization is apparently here, “like it or not,” as a May 2023 video by the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, a peace-oriented think tank based in Washington, D.C., states. Quincy is not alone in discussing de-dollarization: political economists Radhika Desai and Michael Hudson outlined its mechanics across four shows between February and April 2023 in their fortnightly YouTube program, “Geopolitical Economy Hour.” Economist Richard Wolff provided a nine-minute explanation on this topic on the Democracy at Work channel. On the other side, media outlets like Business Insider have assured readers that dollar dominance isn’t going anywhere. Journalist Ben Norton reported on a two-hour, bipartis...

Austrian chancellor makes cash pledge

The right to use cash for payments should be enshrined in the Austrian constitution, Chancellor Karl Nehammer believes ©  Getty Images / Creativ Studio Heinemann The ability to use cash for payments instead of banking cards or digital currencies should become a constitutional right in Austria, Chancellor Karl Nehammer has said. The chancellor argued cash remains an extremely popular means of payment in Austria, and the country’s people should have a “right to cash.” “Pocket money for the child. The rainy day reserve at home. The money in the wallet just in case. In Austria alone, €47 billion is withdrawn from ATMs every year, and on average, every Austrian carries €102 in cash. Cash plays an important role in our everyday lives,” Nehammer said in a stat...

Has the Putin-Prigozhin Confrontation Opened a Door for Negotiation?

BY MELVIN GOODMAN Putin delivering his post-Wagner mutiny speech. The war between Russia and Ukraine has become more complex in the wake of the past weekend, which found Yevgeny Prigozhin marching his troops toward Moscow, and President Vladimir Putin finding a safe haven for Prigozhin in Belarus. The conventional wisdom among politicians and pundits is that this is an opportunity for Ukraine and its Western allies to increase the pressure on Russia.  Former U.S. ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul, for example, favors “better and more weapons and better and more sanctions as fast as possible,” believing that Putin is more likely to “negotiate an end to this war if he is losing on the battlefield.”  The problem, however, is that the war remains unwinnable; neither side...

24 Hours of Chaos Ends with Belarus-Sponsored Deal to Settle Abortive Wagner Group Insurrection

BY TRACEY GERMAN Photograph Source: Fargoh – CC0 Even in such a fast-moving war, still some events have the ability to surprise. The decision by Wagner Group leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, to launch an apparent coup attempt, leading his troops into Russia, where he occupied the military HQ in Rostov and was heading towards Moscow, appeared to have left the Kremlin floundering. Then, with his troops reportedly only 200 miles from the Russian capital, Prigozhin announced they would make an about turn and return to their bases to avoid shedding Russian blood. Under the terms of the deal, which was apparently brokered by the president of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, Prigozhin will go to Belarus and will not face prosecution. Nor will any of his troops who took par...

Jewish settlements are built on Palestinian land, and are illegal under International law

Nazi JEWISH settlements are built on Palestinian land, and are illegal under International law. People often say that what’s happening in Palestine is difficult to understand or too complicated to take a stand on. In this resource, we show that the situation, in its essence, is actually pretty straightforward. This page is a summary of the pages that follow. You can navigate between the pages using the arrows at the top and bottom of each page or using the menu on the left hand side.  The Nazi entity was formed in 1948 through the brutal displacement of nearly 800,000 Palestinians and the destruction of more than 530 towns and villages. This pre-meditated ethnic cleansing is known as al-Nakba, the catastrophe. Since then, the Nazi regime has implemented a regieme of settler colo...

Nazi government: Unprecedented challenges and opportunities

Supporting the recent pogrom by fascist Nazi Jewish militias against Palestinians in Huwara near Nablus in the Nazi occupied Palestinian territory and overtly inciting state terrorism, senior Nazi minister, Bezalel Smotrich, a self-declared “fascist,” said, “I think Huwara needs to be erased. The state should be the one to do that.” Jewish new Nazi far-right government is the most racist, fundamentalist, sexist, corrupt, authoritarian and homophobic ever—without masks. It constitutes simultaneously an escalation in 'Israel’s' ongoing Nazi JEWISH settler-colonial and apartheid policies against Indigenous Palestinians and a potentially radical departure in its far-reaching plans for judicial, social and cultural “reforms” affecting Jewish society, and most likely Nazi economy. This p...

Beating the Zionists and their political ideology

Pete Gregson, Chair, One Democratic Palestine, writes: Anti-Semitism and the Holocaust are the weapons of choice for the Friends of Israel in their determination to preserve their favourite racist colony. They will do and say anything to silence criticism of Israel and prevent the exploration of alternatives to the occupation state that they have created in Palestine. But they and their political ideology can be beaten. I have faced their wrath several times over the past five years. The first was when I promoted a petition on Change.org entitled “Israel is a Racist Endeavour” calling upon Labour Party members to sign and show our disgust at the imposition of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) “Working Definition of Anti-Semitism” upon our party. The IH...

End internment of Irish republicans now

Why are Irish republicans still being imprisoned without charge by British courts, 25 years after the initiation of the peace process? Irish Republican News It is comfortable to think that political prisoners in Ireland are a thing of the past, but the truth is that militant republicans are still being jailed without charge in an ongoing campaign of collective punishment against their movement. This article is reproduced from Irish Republican News with thanks. ***** Increasing numbers of Irish republicans are being detained without bail and with little prospect of facing trial. Members of the Soaradh leadership have now endured three years of ‘internment by remand’. The party is calling on all republicans and human rights groups to speak out about the mo...

UK Free Speech Tsar appears to support fraudulent IHRA definition of anti-Semitism

Arif Ahmed, a Cambridge philosophy professor, is to become the government’s first “free speech tsar” for higher education in England. He will oversee a regime that could fine universities and student unions. The biggest issue on campuses is the transgender debate and Zionist attacks on Palestine activism – but it was the latter that Professor Ahmed singled out for attention.  In his 1 June interview to The Times, he said: The IHRA [International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance} working definition [of anti-Semitism] is an important tool for understanding how anti-Semitism manifests itself in the twenty-first century. Adopting it sends a strong signal to students and staff facing anti-Semitism.”The chair of One Democratic Palestine wrote to Professor Ahmed ...
