Frankreich: Gegen Kapitalismus und bürgerlichen Staat

(Oktober 13, 2026)

Die Frage ist, wer hier die Rolle von La France insoumise übernehmen sollte, solche Bewegungen politisch voranzutreiben. Daran, dass die Linkspartei diese Rolle erfüllen könnte und wollte, ja, dass linke Bürgermeister sich wie in Saint-Denis der Polizei in den Weg stellen, um Demonstrierende zu schützen, daran darf leider sehr gezweifelt werden.

Sondierungen in Berlin: SPD und Grüne fordern Opfer

In der Linkspartei selbst brodelt es. Am Freitag wandten sich die stellvertretende Parteivorsitzende Özlem Demirel, verschiedene Parteistrukturen, zahlreiche Parlamentarier (darunter Lea Reisner, Nicole Gohlke und Cansın Köktürk) und weitere Funktionäre an die Öffentlichkeit. Dass sich die Verhandler dem Druck von Grünen und SPD gebeugt hätten, sei ein »schwerer politischer Fehler«. Nicht nur übernähmen sie die »Narrative einer medialen Hetzkampagne«, sondern auch die verlangten »Disziplinierungs- und Spaltungsmechanismen«. Die Unterzeichner fordern ein sofortiges Ende der »bürokratischen Verdrängungsversuche, zum Beispiel über Ausschlussverfahren«.

From France to Italy, Belgium to Greece, student protests spread across Europe

The unrest is not being organised as a single Europe-wide movement. The grievances are different from country to country, but the concerns are strikingly similar. Students are increasingly questioning whether governments are putting enough money into education at a time when schools and universities are struggling with staff shortages, infrastructure problems and higher costs.

France’s student protests highlight a debt crisis that could spill over to the rest of Europe

Worries about a potential debt crisis in France boiled over last week, leading to a selloff in French bonds and a sharp rise in yields.

The spread between French and German bond yields expanded to its widest level since 2012. That difference in yields means investors are demanding much higher returns to hold debt from France compared with Germany, which is deemed a safer alternative.

The French bond rout has sparked fears of spillovers to other high-yield European debt markets, with some analysts drawing parallels with the eurozone debt crisis of the early 2010s.

Spain calls snap election as housing protests spread nationwide

“More than three years ago, voters chose to place their trust once again in a progressive coalition government,” he said in the address on Monday. “We have had to deal with unprecedented emergencies and navigate an extremely difficult international environment. We have had to work with a highly confrontational Congress. We have had to take on very powerful elites that do not stand for election but want to control our country. And we have faced the worst opposition in history, one that blocks policies that are good for the country and sabotages them from the regions.”

IN PICS: hundreds arrested at Palestine protest outside Labour conference

Hundreds of people have been arrested as the Defend our Juries group protested against the government’s ‘proscription‘ (terrorism ban) on anti-genocide group Palestine Action. While al-Qaeda subsidiary HTS in Syria has been de-proscribed and whitewashed by the UK and US, Palestine Action remains banned. The Crown Prosecution Service and judiciary continue to collude to try to ensure the longest and harshest possible sentences.

More than 3,000 people, mostly pensioners and disabled people, have been arrested for ‘terror’ offences for opposing the proscription. That total is climbing rapidly.

India’s Cockroach Protests End as Modi Government Bows to Demands

Hundreds of thousands of these cockroach protesters had been assembling for over a month at Jantar Mantar, which is less than half a mile south of Connaught Place, the central market in the heart of Delhi. They were demanding the resignation of Pradhan, who is also a senior leader in India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, the party of Modi. The protesters at Jantar Mantar consider Pradhan to be responsible for failing to prevent “paper leaks”—the unauthorized release of highly competitive national college entrance examinations, often hours and sometimes minutes before the exam is due.

The Jantar Mantar movement emerged in May in response to a leak of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), the countrywide medical entrance exam. Reports suggest at least a dozen students across the country died by suicide after the tests were canceled.

Senator Kim Leads NJ Democratic Delegation in Demanding an End to ICE Brutality and Inhumane Detention at Delaney Hall

(May 29, 2026)

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Senator Andy Kim (D-N.J.) led members of the New Jersey Democratic Congressional delegation in sending a letter to U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin and Acting Attorney General (Acting AG) Todd Blanche demanding immediate action to end ICE brutality and inhumane detention at Delaney Hall in Newark.

The letter comes after Senator Kim and members of the New Jersey congressional delegation conducted oversight visits of Delaney Hall over the past week, witnessing the inhumane treatment of detainees inside the for-profit facility, run by the private company GEO Group, and the use of escalatory tactics by ICE agents on the ground. Their visits followed reports of ICE retaliating against those detained inside the facility and hundreds beginning a hunger and labor strike in protest of the inhumane conditions.

McIver Speaks out Against Unlawful Abuse Against Protestors and Detainees at Delaney

(May 28, 2026)

“I’m hearing from advocates and families on the ground reports of ICE pepper spraying and beating detainees inside Delaney Hall. I have seen the horrific conditions and spoken to those inside about the disgusting food, lack of medical care, and violent and unsanitary conditions as recently as this week. With demoted former USCBP Commander Greg Bovino’s announcement that he is coming to Newark today and his threats online to tear gas our community, I have even more concern that he will only escalate the chaos at Delaney,” said McIver. “More ICE violence has never made a situation safer. The only solution to stop the abuse at Delaney Hall and quell this terror nationwide is to shut down the facility and abolish ICE. We will keep standing up to this administration’s terror campaign and we will keep fighting for justice.”

On Monday, McIver made her fourth visit to Delaney Hall. The chaos created by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) during McIver’s first visit to Delaney Hall, led to the Trump administration bringing baseless charges against her for conducting oversight. Her second visit came on the heels of the death of Jean Wilson Brutus in ICE custody. Her third visit was following the release of the S.O.S. letter signed by 300 detainees.

We will not stop striving for peace, justice, and equality for all residents of the region.” “We will continue the struggle against the occupation and ethnic cleansing!
