Civil society organisations call for EU-Libya migration funding freeze as mass graves discovered

(February 14, 2025)

In Libya the torture and killing of migrants in detention, their abandonment at sea or in the desert; being held in conditions akin to slavery; being subject to starvation and other serious human rights violations have been documented extensively by the UN’s Independent Fact Finding Mission on Libya and other bodies.

It is clear that European Union migration funding to Libya, as well as migration funding to Libya from EU member states including Italy and France, has not delivered on its promise to improve conditions for people seeking safety.

Italy PM Giorgia Meloni investigated for release of Libya police chief following ICC warrant

(January 29, 2025)

Prosecutor Francesco Lo Voi opened investigations against Giorgia Meloni for allegedly aiding and abetting Almasri. This occurred following a lawsuit issued by Italian lawyer Luigi Li Gotti. Li Gotti stated he filed the lawsuit out of dignity. He claims that repatriation would allow Almasri to return to Libya and continue committing crimes for which he is accused.

Other ministers are currently under investigation. The prosecutor’s office in Rome sent notices to the Minister of Justice Carlo Nordio, Minister of the Interior Matteo Piantedosi, and Undersecretary of State Alfredo Mantovano.

Police are not releasing the recordings. Omar claims „the police have changed their version [of the story] more than once, and so has the Magen David Adom emergency services – who we [citizens] trust.“ According to Omar, initially, MDA said someone had been shot in the attack, „which adds ambiguity,“ claimed Yousef had a weapon in his car and then later said it was a weapon-like object, and said the Italian tourist had been shot but later denied it. „We still haven‘t seen the toy-gun yet,“ Omar added.

820 Milliarden Euro: EZB-Gelddruckerei überschüttet die Wucherer, die schütten zurück

(5. März 2012)

Die „Übernacht-Einlagen“, die „Angstkasse“, oder besser: das Gelddepot des weltweiten Finanzkartells bei ihrer persönlichen Gelddruckerei, der Frankfurter Zentralbank des Euro-Systems, ist innerhalb von drei Tagen um weitere 43 Milliarden Euro auf über 820 Milliarden Euro explodiert. Die kapitalistische Informationsindustrie, ebenso wie die in zwei Jahrzehnten des Krieges und der weltweiten Expansion des unkontrollierten Interbankensystems („Globalisierung“) versauten „öffentlich-rechtlichen“ Medien erzählen dazu nur Dreck daher oder schweigen völlig.

Die Banken „misstrauen“ sich nicht. Die Banken weigern sich schlicht Geld in den Wirtschaftskreislauf auszugeben und stapeln ihre erfundenen Taler einfach wieder auf den Berg in der Zentralbank, während hier alle in der Währungszone nach Liquidität jabsen und am Besten gleich den ganzen Staat verkaufen sollen.

There are no tanks in the streets, and no general with a uniform sagging with medals interrupts the television broadcasts. The coup occurs behind closed doors, with laws being passed and decrees being signed that remove all restraints on the government, and dismantle all checks and balances. Of course, the government does not declare that it is carrying out a coup. It claims only that it is passing some much-needed reforms, “for the good of the people.”

Italy’s Election Is Dominated by Postfascists — but the Left Is Raising Its Head

In this carousel of Italian politics, the Left has remained out of the picture for too long. It has not been in parliament since 2008, with the exception of small lists in alliance with the Partito Democratico or MPs who quit other parties. It has thus been fourteen years since an independent left has had its own parliamentary representation in Italy. It is an even greater tragedy if we remember that Italy once had the largest Communist Party in Western Europe and a Left whose presence extended from social movements and trade unions to the world of culture.

This time, however, something has moved. With the launch of Unione Popolare, the Italian left is trying to reorganize itself to return to the political scene.
