Ricardo Salgado, the Honduran secretary of Strategic Planning, said that the country suffered a new form of coup d’état following the proclamation of right-wing candidate Nasry Asfura as the president of Honduras by the two CNE councilors who belong to the Honduran bipartisan system: Ana Paola Hall García and Cossette Alejandra López. On December 24, the two aforementioned CNE officials declared Asfura the winner of the November 30 elections, without completing the special recount or resolving the challenges filed in response to the numerous irregularities reported.

The Far Right Triumphs In Chile

There was little doubt about the outcome of Chile’s second round presidential election on December 14. After receiving overwhelming support from almost the entire Chilean right (which, if you add up their vote shares in the first round, represented the vast majority), José Antonio Kast will become Chile’s next president. In the first round, Jeanette Jara narrowly took first place with 26.85%, followed closely by Kast, who won 23.93% of the valid votes, thus securing his place in the runoff. In third, fourth, and fifth place were three right-wing candidates: center-right Franco Parisi (19.71%), libertarian Johannes Kaiser (13.94%), and conservative Evelyn Matthei (12.47%).

Portuguese Workers Bring Country To A Halt In Historic General Strike

December 13, 2025 Cameron Harrison, People's World. Resist! General Strike, Portugal, Right wing politics, Strikes, Worker Rights and Jobs

Tens of thousands of Portuguese workers walked off the job this week, dressed in workers’ red, in the country’s first general strike in 12 years. This massive show of force is a direct challenge to the right-wing government’s aggressive assault on labor rights, wages, and collective bargaining. The nationwide strike action halted ports, grounded flights, shuttered schools, and stalled public transport. Workers from every sector said they will no longer accept a return to deeper exploitation and austerity. The General Confederation of the Portuguese Workers (CGTP-IN) underscored that the attack on workers’ living standards comes not during an economic crisis but amidst growth and steep rises in corporate profits.

Indigenous Resistance Forces Peña’s Government To Back Down

October 6, 2025 Pablo Meriguet, People's Dispatch. Resist! Blockades, Indigenous Resistance, Paraguay, Right wing politics

For several days, various Indigenous communities have been mobilizing and protesting in Paraguay against recent decisions of the right-wing government of Santiago Peña. Peña hails from the Colorado Party, one of the oldest parties in Latin America, which, incidentally, was the political base of the dictatorship of Alfredo Stroessner (1954-1989), one of the longest-serving dictators in 20th-century history. The protesters are demanding the resignation of the president of Paraguayan Institute of Indigenous Affairs (INDI) and the restoration of the institution’s headquarters. On October 3, it was announced that this Indigenous struggle in Paraguay had been successful. The leaders of the protests said, “Our heroic resistance has paid off.

The Deep Ties And Deeper Pockets Of Minnesota’s Far-Right

Maple Grove, MN – The Rush Creek Golf Club’s event space was filled with the din of knives and forks, scraping and tapping ceramic to the tune of conspiratorial chit chat, as a fluorescent white audience –mostly over the retirement age — shared with one another the latest misinformation to come across their Facebook feeds. At one of the many tables in the room, an old man in a trucker hat broke the ice with the man sitting next to him by diving right into the assassination of former House Speaker Melissa Hortman. For him, it was just another example of how the Democrats will stop at nothing to steal his tax dollars.

The New College Gambit

December 9, 2024 Kathryn Joyce, In These Times. Educate! Florida, Free Speech, Higher Education, Right wing politics

Ever since Jan. 6, 2023, when DeSantis appointed a series of right-wing activists to New College’s board of trustees with the mission to transform Florida’s weirdest, queerest public college into a “Hillsdale of the South” — emulating the Michigan Christian school known for its conservative “classical education” and hard-right politics—it was clear the takeover was meant to be a model. Nearly two years later — after interviews with current and former New College students, faculty and staff, extensive research of news and academic reports, firsthand reporting and numerous documents shared with In These Times—there’s no simple answer as to whether they’ve succeeded.

Even California Moved Right With Pro-Prison Ballot Measure

Amid the onslaught of dismal news on Election Day, Californians passed a “tough-on-crime” ballot initiative that will lengthen sentences for some theft and drug crimes — a policy that equity-focused advocates warn will vastly increase incarceration rates in the state. Proposition 36 — also known as the Homelessness, Drug Addiction, and Theft Reduction Act — passed overwhelmingly 70-30 at the ballot box. The measure, which was funded and supported by big box stores, prosecutors and law enforcement groups, is a response to what many perceive as triple crises.

States Are Pushing Back With Anti-Labor Laws As Union Popularity Grows

September 17, 2024 Casey Quinlan, Portside. Educate! Anti-worker laws, Right wing politics, State Legislatures, Unions, Worker Rights and Jobs

Growing union organizing across the country has triggered an anti-labor legislative response in some states, but cities and counties are increasingly pushing back, a new report found. The report, released this month by the New York University Wagner Labor Initiative and Local Progress Impact Lab, a group for local elected officials focused on economic and racial justice issues, cites examples of localities all over the U.S. using commissions to document working conditions, creating roles for protecting workers in the heat and educating workers on their labor rights. In the face of increased worker organizing and Americans’ higher approval of labor unions in the past few year (hitting levels not seen since the 1960s), many states have introduced bills aimed at stopping payroll deduction for union dues and punishing employers that voluntarily recognize a union through the card check process.

Macron Protested Over Appointment Of Right-Wing Prime Minister

September 6, 2024 Ana Vračar, People's Dispatch. Resist! 2024 French elections, Democracy, Elections, Emmanuel Macron, France, Right wing politics

French President Emmanuel Macron has finally nominated a new Prime Minister. However, his choice is not someone from the New Popular Front (NFP), the left-progressive alliance that won the most seats in the recent snap election. Instead, Macron opted for Michel Barnier, a conservative former EU official and Brexit negotiator, igniting yet more anger among left and progressive circles in France. Barnier comes from the ranks of The Republicans, a Gaullist party that garnered approximately 6% of the vote in the recent election. The French president has described him as a choice that will be able to build stability and communication among most parties.

How Sinclair Sneaks Right-Wing Spin Into Millions Of Households

August 6, 2024 Pete Tucker, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting. Educate! Media, Propaganda, Right wing politics, Sinclair Broadcasting

With the presidential contest in full swing, the Sinclair Broadcast Group appears to be ramping up its right-wing propaganda again. While millions of Americans are subjected to the TV network’s electioneering, few know it. That’s because, like a chameleon, Sinclair blends into the woodwork. Turn on your local news and you may well be watching a Sinclair station, even though it appears on your screen under the imprimatur of a major network like CBS, NBC or Fox. Here in the DC area, I occasionally tune into the local ABC affiliate, WJLA. Its newscasters are personable, and I like the weather forecasts. But then I remember that WJLA is owned by Sinclair.

France, Its Far-right, And Africa

Elections for the European Parliament took place on June 9, 2024. These elections are generally shunned by the French electorate, and the latest was no exception with nearly 50% abstaining from voting. This is one of the highest abstention rates in the region - a clear sign of the disconnect between the people and its institutions. The results[1] were clear-cut: over 30% of votes for France's main far-right party, the Rassemblement National (and around 10% more for the various conservative and nationalist right-wing movements), less than 15% for the party of the current government, and less than 25% overall for the two main left-wing parties presented.

Right-Wing Network Manufacturing The War Against Higher Education

July 4, 2024 Colleen Scerpella, Exposed CMD. Educate! Higher Education, Legislation, Right wing politics, Think Tanks

A recent white paper by Isaac Kamola, director of the Center for the Defense of Academic Freedom, details the ongoing culture-war backlash against higher education in America, largely in response to the grassroots activism of Black Lives Matter in 2020 and increasing LGBTQ+ visibility. More than 150 bills seeking to undermine academic freedom and intervene in university governance were introduced in state legislatures across the country during 2021-2023. While these bills are typically interpreted as an “organic” consequence of increasing polarization among Americans, the current wave of legislation targeting higher education is a coordinated effort between wealthy elites, a network of right-wing and libertarian think tanks, and Republican politicians at the state level.

Far-Right Surge In Elections Shakes Up European Parliament

June 10, 2024 Ana Vračar, People's Dispatch. Educate! Elections, Emmanuel Macron, European Union (EU), Far Right, France, Right wing politics

The European Union woke up to a grim reality, albeit with few surprises, after the European Parliament elections concluded on Sunday, June 9. As predicted by polls, far-right parties emerged gleeful. According to preliminary results, combined, the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) and Identity and Democracy (ID) groups secured only four fewer seats than the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats (S&D), the second-largest group in parliament. Including mandates won by unaffiliated parties close to ECR and ID, the far-right easily overtakes the center. The conservative European People’s Party (EPP) received 186 of the 720 seats, and remains the largest group in parliament.

Is India’s Economy Truly Thriving? Or Is It Exaggerating Its Growth?

As many of you will know, general elections are currently underway in India, elections which the ruling BJP and the Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi, are expected to win easily. Victory would give Modi a third term in government, a feat previously accomplished only by the country’s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. Sections of the Western media and most of the Indian media are poised to attribute any such victory to Modi’s economic management, which has allegedly made the Indian economy boom as never before. However, as the elections proceed, this near-certain victory is receding into the distance, and a very different reality is coming into view. With us to discuss this is a most distinguished guest, Professor C.P. Chandrasekhar.

Argentine Court Invalidates President Milei’s Labor Reform

On Tuesday, the National Chamber of Labor Appeals declared the constitutional invalidity of the labor reform included by President Javier Milei in the Decree of Necessity and Urgency (DNU) signed in December. During a press conference at the Pink House, Presidential Spokesperson Manuel Adorni said that Milei will appeal this decision at all necessary levels, including the Supreme Court. "The reform is essential to create employment, for companies to hire, and to have a much more friendly labor market for both parties," he said, attempting to justify a pro-corporations proposal that has been strongly rejected by the population on the streets.
