As the Maya calendar ends, a new cycle of struggle begins with thousands of Zapatistas peacefully and silently occupying town squares across Chiapas.

The Zapatistas are back! Flowing like the water of the river that beats the sword. And while some were anticipating the Christmas holidays, some others the end of the Maya calendar, and others still the new Communiqué from the Comandancia General of the EZLN that was announced back in November, the main cities of Chiapas woke up today with memories of 1994.

CNT lawsuit against genocide Franco Argentina

Catalonia: Right and Left pact for a Republic

They said it was impossible, but Right and Left have agreed joint local rule to promote a campaign for Catalan Independence from Spain.

The CiU conservative leader had called elections to cash in on a tidal wave of sentiment for independence, as Madrid reneged on agreements and appeared set on milking Catalonia dry, along with racist and neo fascist insults.

However the electorate thought differently and CiU lost their majority, while the left republicans shot up. But pro independence parties have a huge majority and a pact was made, the left will have to vote for savage social cuts on top of a record recession, while the right will have to share power and give in to some important ERC demands.

The workers and social movements have been quick to decry the move as a ruse to defuse revolutionary actions due to the locally collapsing capitalist system.and oppose yet another State, this time in the hands of the corrupt Catalan business and political class.

Ecologists and Greens however celebrated the agreement to tax Nuclear Power, as well as a key measure to tax Carbon Dioxide emissions, which is a brilliant precedent in Europe.

Chances of persuading Madrid to allow the referendum however are nil, they have threatened to jail Catalan leaders who propose it. Continue reading “Catalonia: Right and Left pact for a Republic”

Spain. Plans to destroy Wetlands for more Profit

Las Tablas is a vast wetland in Castilla-La Mancha that supports migrating birds and native wildlife. In 2009-10 a government plan to divert water from the Tajo-Segura aqueduct was approved to tackle subterranean peat fires threatening the park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The Plan condemns the wetlands, which were recovering after recent heavy rains, to a new crisis

With the fierce cuts causing mass unemployment without compensation, 100’s of 1000’s of families evicted for unpayable mortgages, bailing bank robbers to the tune of multi billions, bringing back Religion in school, increasing the military and police budgets while schools and hospitals, clinics and nurseries are closing everywhere….
