The growing violence against women sparked a national movement of protest against femicides and gender violence. As a part of this movement, more than three hundred thousand people (others say 500,000) marched yesterday. There were demonstrations in many provinces like Jujuy, Salta and Tucuman (north), Cordoba and Santa Fe (center) Neuquen (south).

–Buenos Aires: The demonstration at Congress’ surroundings was historic. Workers got out from work to march, students left schools, and many colleges shut their doors to allow teachers, workers and students to attend the demonstration. Unions, women and left organizations held rallies around Congreso, and blocked the streets.

Left and Workers’ Front’s legistlators Nicolas del Caño, Christian Castillo, Myriam Bregman, and Patricio del Corro joined women’s organization Pan y Rosas (bread and rosas) in Buenos Aires.

The Fight against Javier Milei Has Set The Stage For a Whole New Wave of Struggle

The defeat of the Omnibus Law is a key victory for the movement against Javier Milei’s austerity plan and attacks on democratic rights. It shows that the working class and oppressed have the power to fight against the advance of the Far Right in Argentina and across the world.

Against the Criminalization of Opinion and in Defense of Our Right to Support Palestine: We Must Stand Up!

In France, the repression of Palestine supporters is escalating. A conference by La France Insoumise (LFI) has been banned; a union leader has been arrested and charged for speaking out for Palestine; court cases have increased against those who “condone terrorism”; and the state has stepped up its “anti-terrorism” efforts. In the face of all this, we must stand together.
