That wasn‘t the only bill the Parliament passed today. With 90 votes in favour from JxCat, PSC, En Comú and CUP, ERC‘s bill condemning Francoism and the rise of the far-right sailed through. Notably, however, both Ciutadans and PP abstained. The text restates the chamber‘s commitment to „democracy and freedoms“ and urges the Catalan government to eliminate any and all Francoist and fascist symbolism from public spaces, official buildings and monuments.

The Cambodian Government can only take this decision as an extreme injustice when the EU disregards the considerable progress made by the country, despite its recent tragic past, in the implementation of numerous international conventions to which the grant of the EBA preferences is linked, particularly in the areas of labor and land rights.

Warum die Republik keine Angst vor dem Niedergang der „S.P.D.“ haben muss
(16.1.2018) Zur Zeit steht die im Kaiserreich gegründete und in den letzten sechzehn Jahren Krieg und Euro-Kapitalismus zwölf Jahre an der Regierung befindliche Partei „S.P.D.“ bei 18,5 Prozent. Mancher wird sich nun fragen, wie das ohne die „S.P.D.“ weitergehen soll. Genau das ist ja der Punkt: gar nicht. Das ist ein Grund zur Freude, nicht zur Sorge.
The US-Led Global War on Terrorism Has Succeeded… In Creating More Global Terrorism
(17.9.2018) The focus of the report—titled Beyond the Homeland: Protecting America from Extremism in Fragile States—maintains a very U.S.-centric worldview. And while it does little or nothing to critically challenge the widely criticized policies pursued by the Bush, Obama, or Trump presidencies, its tabulation of the dramatic rise in destablized states and growing terrorist violence throughout the regions where the U.S. military has been most active since 2001—namely, the Middle East and North Africa, South Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa—is nonetheless revealing.

Raqqa’s dirty secret
(13.11.2017) The BBC has uncovered details of a secret deal that let hundreds of IS fighters and their families escape from Raqqa, under the gaze of the US and British-led coalition and Kurdish-led forces who control the city.
A convoy included some of IS’s most notorious members and – despite reassurances – dozens of foreign fighters. Some of those have spread out across Syria, even making it as far as Turkey.
A mass grave containing about 1,500 bodies has been uncovered in the #Syrian city of #Raqqa, which was #ISIS terror group‘s largest stronghold for a long time.
Responders are still working to uncover and identify bodies at the site

„Wie aus einem Schundroman“
Präsident Recep Tayyip Erdoğan hält sich zu dem Fall weiterhin bedeckt. Doch hat es den Anschein, dass die Führung der Türkei durch ihre Informationspolitik den internationalen Druck auf den 33-jährigen Thronfolger Saudi-Arabiens erhöhen will – ohne dabei gleichzeitig als dessen Chefankläger aufzutreten. Offensichtlich will die Türkei ihre Beziehungen zu dem reichen Königreich in der akuten Wirtschaftskrise nicht gefährden.
Bedrohte Grundrechte
»Die Verschärfungen der Polizeigesetze bedrohen Rechtsstaat und Rechtsempfinden«, stellte der Aktionskünstler »Padeluun« von Digitalcourage in einer am Montag veröffentlichten Pressemitteilung klar. »Die Union und ihre Koalitionspartner versuchen, das Grundgesetz zu unterminieren. Dabei sind die Abwehrrechte gegen den Staat gerade das, was langfristig Frieden und Sicherheit möglich macht«, so der Bürgerrechtler weiter. Die von den sogenannten Sicherheitsbehörden geforderten Maschinengewehre, »Staatstrojaner« und eine uferlose Videoüberwachung seien hingegen »Gift für eine Demokratie«.
