Much of the commentary on the results of the Dutch elections of October 29 can be summarised as “the centre is back”. However, the fact that the centrist party D66 won significantly while Geert Wilders' far-right PVV lost 11 seats is by no means a decisive change in the political pattern of the Netherlands. With 26 out of 150 seats, the PVV now has the same number as seats as D66. And for the Dutch left, there is even less reason to celebrate.

“In his victory speech Mamdani told his supporters that as mayor, ‘We will put an end to the culture of corruption that has allowed billionaires like Trump to evade taxation and exploit tax breaks'. Directly addressing the president, he said, ‘New York will remain a city of immigrants: a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and, as of tonight, led by an immigrant. So, hear me, President Trump, when I say this: To get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.'”

Næst efter skoleområdet er ældreplejen kommunernes største udgiftspost. Ca. 170.000 danskere modtagere hjemmehjælp, og 38.000 danskere bor på plejehjem. Vi kender alle sangen om, at vi lever længere og bliver mere plejekrævende. At dette er en ”bombe under velfærdssamfundet”. Denne sang, som borgerlige politikere har skrålet i årevis, ser nu ud til at have udhulet og ændret hele vores tilgang til seniorlivet og ældreområdet.

A year after the collapse of the canopy of the Novi Sad train station, which killed 16 people, the Serbian political landscape has been radically shaken by a student social movement of an intensity not seen in decades. A delegation from the Fourth International, composed of comrades from the GA (Gauche anticapitaliste, Belgium) and the NPA-A (Nouveau Parti Anticapitaliste, France), went to meet political, trade union, associative and student activists, to build bonds of solidarity with them and to bring their words back to our countries.

”En venstreorienteret, græsrodsorienteret tilgang giver mulighed for at score point i tider med polarisering,” siger Violetta Bock, som er medlem af den tyske sektion af Fjerde Internationale.

The awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to María Corina Machado (MCM) sparked an unusual debate on social media. However, the arguments for and against are more driven by emotion than by reason. Is it possible to approach Venezuelan reality solely in a Manichean way, from the perspective of polarization?

Wednesday 22 October marked exactly three years since Giorgia Meloni took office at Palazzo Chigi, the seat of the Italian Prime Minister. Her appointment was the result of the predictable but nonetheless disastrous election results of September 2022, when the right-wing coalition (of which Fratelli d'Italia was by far the largest party) won thanks to a significant abstention rate (36%) but above all thanks to an anti-proportional representation law passed by previous centre-left governments and the deep division between the other political forces that formed the diverse opposition front in parliament.

“There must be a willingness not to instrumentalise struggles. The left has become accustomed to looking at the movement as an obstacle. The anti-racist movement is one of the essential devices that the left has to combat inequality. The anti-racist movement must not be an appendage, but a force.” Mamadou Ba, leader of SOS Racismo.

President Donald Trump has taken advantage of the current budget crisis, which has lasted more than a month, shutting down the federal government, to stop funding food programs that affect tens of million. Trump said the shutdown provided an opportunity to close “Democrat programs that we want to close up or we never wanted to happen.” By “Democrat programs” he means social welfare programs that provide food and education to low-income people.

I løbet af sine første ni måneder har Donald Trumps regering indsat krigsskibe i Caribien, sprængt små både, der blev beskyldt for narkosmugling, i luften, indført 50 procents told på brasilianske produkter og udøvet ekstremt pres på den mexicanske regering for at reducere strømmen af migranter over grænsen og bekæmpe lokale narkokarteller.

Hundredvis af internationale sygeplejersker risikerer at blive udvist, da der ikke er nok evalueringsstillinger til at give dem den nødvendige autorisation. Samtidig spænder regeringen ben for, at de kan få arbejde som social- og sundhedspersonale.

When more than 50 Indonesian labour unions gathered in Jakarta on 5 October 2021 to establish the Partai Buruh (Labour Party), it appeared to mark a historic moment: workers organising their own political vehicle to challenge an oligarchic system that had stripped away their rights. Yet from its inception, the party embodied a contradiction. Led by union bureaucrats with histories of elite collaboration, the Labour Party promised working-class independence whilst its president courted the very politicians who had passed anti-worker legislation. It claimed to represent the marginalised whilst maintaining "deafening silence" on human rights abuses and democratic backsliding.
