October 3, 2026 Abdul Rahman, BreakThrough News. , , ,
Nationwide protests have broken out in India this week seeking the removal of the country’s Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) over allegations of irregularities in the electoral process during various state elections and the deliberate mass disenfranchisement in favor of the ultra-right-wing ruling dispensation. On Wednesday, September 30, thousands came out on the streets in the southern Indian city of Hyderabad in a joint demonstration called by the Left parties, the regional Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), and others, to defend voting rights.

France’s High School Revolt: The Yellow Vest Movement Of Youth?

October 3, 2026 Juan Chingo, Left Voice. , , , ,
There are times when seemingly basic demands acquire an explosive force because they encapsulate a vast array of experiences. Demanding teachers, well-maintained classrooms, sufficient staff, and reasonable schedules could have been the starting point for a limited school conflict. However, when these demands spread from one school to another, when those making them recognize themselves in the indignation of young people they have never met, and when the state responds with brutal repression, the mobilization raises a deeper question: how long can a generation accept the degraded living conditions and future imposed upon it?

Movement For Release Of Former PM Imran Khan Heats Up

September 30, 2026 Abdul Rahman, BreakThrough News. , , ,
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), the country’s main opposition party, announced a long march to the capital, Islamabad, on Sunday, October 4, as part of its ongoing nationwide movement to demand the release of its leader and former Prime Minister Imran Khan. The march, which was originally scheduled to be held on Sunday, September 27, starting from Peshawar, was postponed on Friday after the party’s top leadership decided it needed more time to mobilize to face the state’s preparations to block it. Thousands of people have been taking to the streets in different parts of the country demanding the immediate release of Khan, his wife Bushra Bibi, and other party leaders.

What’s Behind The French ‘License To Kill’ bill?

September 24, 2026 Ana Vracar, BreakThrough News. , , , ,
Over 100 protests took place across France during the weekend of September 19-20, as left parties, grassroots organizations, and human rights associations mobilized against a new law on use of force by law enforcement. Dubbed the “License to Kill” bill by progressives, the legislation presumes that police and gendarme officers who draw their firearms do so legitimately unless proven otherwise. Despite a petition against the law collecting over 730,000 signatures in a matter of weeks, the French government – backed by the votes of the far-right National Rally – forced the proposal through the National Assembly on July 7.

Argentina: Tens Of Thousands Take To Streets In March Of Anger

September 22, 2026 Fernando Scolnik, Left Voice. , , , ,
Tens of thousands took to the streets in more than 70 cities across Argentina in Saturday’s March of Anger (Marcha de la Bronca). The demonstrations were a long-awaited breath of fresh air in the face of right-wing austerity and repression, as well as “opposition” from political and union leaderships that call for passivity, even in the face of the government’s weakening. Saturday’s protests are not the first time in recent months that thousands have shown a will to fight, defying the passivity of these union bureaucracies. On August 6, thousands protested against the “Inviolability of Private Property” bill that sought to attract foreign investment by streamlining evictions and making it harder to to take public ownership over private lands. 

Fujimori Faces The First Protests Of Her Administration

August 20, 2026 Pablo Meriguet, BreakThrough News. , , , ,
A wave of protests and demonstrations have rocked diverse regions of Peru in recent days. The recently inaugurated right-wing President Keiko Fujimori is facing, very early on, the first protests of her term. Several transport workers’ groups have taken to the streets due to the rampant rise in fuel prices plaguing the entire region. They also decided to halt their activities and blocked several roads in protest against prices that, they claim, are impoverishing them. Prices have skyrocketed across Latin America due to the US-Israeli war on Iran. Furthermore, Peru is experiencing a serious domestic supply shortage that dates back to March of this year, particularly at the state-owned oil company Petroperú, which distributes a significant amount of diesel and gasoline to various regions of the country.

Milei Faces New Phase Of Opposition On The Streets Of Argentina

July 25, 2026 Pablo Meriguet, BreakThrough News. , , ,
The World Cup did not pacify the unions, students, and opponents of Milei’s government in Argentina. They continued their mobilizations against the administration’s radical neoliberal austerity plan even while the country was competing in the World Cup finals. On the other hand, the administration did take advantage of this football frenzy to quietly approve oil exploration by a foreign company and sought Senate approval to increase the amount of land that foreigners can own in Argentina. This radical neoliberal agenda has been steadily advancing since the start of Milei’s term in December 2023.

ICE Killings Fuel Nationwide Protests

Less than one week after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shot and killed Houston father and construction worker Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, ICE agents fatally shot Joan Sebastian Guerrero in Biddeford, Maine, on Monday, July 12. According to witness accounts and video footage, ICE agents rammed their vehicle into the 26-year-old Colombian’s car and approached the driver-side door. Moments later, they shot him and proceeded to drag his limp body out of the vehicle, handcuffing him on the pavement, where his body was left for five hours. Guerrero’s three-year-old daughter and partner were in the car and witnessed the killing.

In Athens, Albania’s Diaspora Watches A Revolt At Home

July 16, 2026 Sophia Potsi, Unicorn Riot. , , ,
People have taken to the streets in Albania for over a month now. What started as a protest about environmental concerns and a luxury resort tied to President Trump’s son-in-law has turned into a mass movement against the government, with people demanding the resignation of the Prime Minister Edi Rama. The story begins with a development plan for the Vjosa-Narta lagoon, a protected wetland on Albania’s Adriatic coast, and the nearby uninhabited island of Sazan, once a secret Soviet-era military base, now eyed as the site of a luxury tourism complex.

Protests Over Development Threaten To Topple Albanian Government

Albania, a country in the southwestern region of the Balkan peninsula, is witnessing one of the biggest waves of anti-government protests since the final end of socialism in 1992. The protests began in late May in opposition to the construction of a multibillion-dollar luxury resort backed by Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law, in the protected delta area of Vjosa-Narta, but they have now become a common sight in the capital city of Tirana. The protesters, who have faced riot police and water cannons, are demanding the resignation of socialist Prime Minister Edi Rama as activists aim to put an end to politics as usual in a country where corruption and organized crime are prominent features.

Inside Albania’s Youth-Led ‘Flamingo Revolution’

June 23, 2026 Eleftheria Kousta, Waging Nonviolence. , , , , , ,
Just before dusk, a crowd began marching down Dëshmorët e Kombit Boulevard in Tirana, Albania’s capital, toward Prime Minister Edi Rama’s office. As they approached, the sound of drums and their chants calling for “revolution” got louder. Once they arrived, the national anthem echoed throughout the avenue. Since May 31, protesters have been setting off every single day at 6 p.m. from Skanderbeg Square to take part in what has been dubbed the “Flamingo Revolution.” The iconic bird was chosen because of its connection to the natural protected area of Vjosa-Narta in Zvernec, where plans for a $1.4 billion luxury resort linked to Jared Kushner, an American real estate mogul and Donald Trump’s son-in-law, have caused fierce opposition.

Albania ‘Flamingo Revolution’ Protests Gain Pace

June 17, 2026 Grace, The Canary. , , , ,
Protests against a luxury resort being built on vital wetlands in Albania are now well into their third week – and they’ve attracted the ire of Albanian PM Edi Rama. He denounced the opponents of the Trump-family-linked project as exhibiting a “fascist mentality”, and denied the building works’ massive environmental impacts. On 3 June, the Canary reported on the anger against building works in the Vjosa-Narta protected landscape and the island of Sazan. At the time, the protests had lasted for three days. Now, however, the so-called ‘Flamingo Revolution’ has built momentum into a wider critique of Rama’s leadership.

Protests Tell Megarich: Albania Not For Sale!

A major coastal development project on the protected island of Sazan and the Zvërnec Peninsula — spearheaded by Affinity Partners, an investment firm linked to President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and daughter Ivanka Trump — has sparked daily waves of widespread protests in Tirana, the capital. More than 6,000 elaborate villas and accompanying luxury infrastructure for the superrich are projected. The developers estimate the enormous project will exceed €4 billion ($4.6 billion). (tinyurl.com/vc3cx4ft)  The mass demonstrations and the government repression, caught on videos of bulldozers, barbed-wire fences and security guards dragging protesters across the sand, may have a far-reaching impact. 

Bolivian Miners Join Protests Against Rodrigo Paz

May 14, 2026 Laura V. Mor, TeleSur. , , ,
The Federation of Mining Cooperatives of La Paz announced its decision to join the ongoing marches and road blockades across Bolivia starting this Wednesday. This escalated measure comes after far-right President Rodrigo Paz failed to attend a crucial dialogue table, forcing the vital mining sector to publicly demand solutions to their pressing regional and productive concerns. The entry of miners into the protests signifies a substantial increase in pressure on the current Bolivian administration, highlighting a growing national discontent.

Haitians Demand New Government Amid Protest, Increasing Energy Costs

May 8, 2026 Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
Increasing protests in Haiti have laid bare the deep discontent of the population with the unelected government of Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, backed by the US regime. Demonstrations have intensified since May 1—International Workers’ Day—and have been marked by demands for an increase in salaries to cover the increasing costs of living, for maintenance of crumbling infrastructure, and for improvements in citizens’ quality of life, as well as calls for the de facto government’s resignation, among other grievances. Demonstrations were sparked by a drastic increase in oil prices announced by the unelected Haitian regime on April 2.
