India’s Left Stands Against The Right Wing’s Bulldozers

July 3, 2026 Abdul Rahman, Breakthrough News. , , ,
Thousands are taking to the streets of the capital, Kolkata, and other major cities in the Indian state of West Bengal everyday against the newly elected ultra-right-wing government’s policy of large-scale demolitions of houses and small shops.  The mobilizations, some spontaneous but mostly organized by the left parties in the state, are a result of the left’s call to not allow such actions to take place without proper rehabilitation and compensation, as most of the affected are poor and marginalized people. Whenever the bulldozers turn up for demolition without prior notification and well announced rehabilitation plans, cadres and local leaders of the left parties, carrying red flags and banners, march with the affected population often surrounding them and forcing them to retreat.

Right Wing Backlash To Pink Tide Intensifies In Latin America

June 29, 2026 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. , , , , , ,
The United States and its allies have escalated their war on Latin America - killing hundreds of fisher people with impunity, invading and kidnapping the President and First Lady in Venezuela, tightening economic blockades, and manipulating elections. Clearing the FOG speaks with Claudia O'Brien-Moscoso of the Black Alliance for Peace Haiti/Americas Team about recent right wing gains in countries such as Colombia, Peru and other countries in retaliation to the popular gains of the Pink Tide and how social movements are fighting back. O'Brien-Moscoso describes the international campaign to build a Zone of Peace in Our Americas.

Perú: Roberto Sánchez Condemns Ongoing Electoral Fraud

June 24, 2026 Orinoco Tribune. , , , ,
During a press conference held Tuesday, Roberto Sánchez, the leftist presidential candidate for Juntos por el Perú (Together for Peru), warned of ongoing fraud within Peru’s electoral system. The politician reaffirmed his decision to reject Keiko Fujimori’s proclamation as president of Perú, citing irregularities detected in the processing of election results from consulates abroad. The leftist politician requested the annulment of the overseas vote. According to the leader, the Peruvian government violated electoral law by changing the rules for the presidential runoff. Roberto Sánchez also demanded strict security for the ballots until their arrival in the capital, Lima.

Workers Defeat Right Wing’s Anti-Worker Labor Package In Portugal

June 21, 2026 Fight Back! News. , , ,
Lisbon, Portugal – On Thursday, June 18, thousands of workers marched outside the Assembly of the Republic demanding that the right-wing government kill the anti-worker “labor package” they were poised to vote on. The next day, in a vote that shocked most pundits, the labor package was voted down by the legislators even though there is a right-wing majority in the assembly. How did this happen? Over nearly a year, the governing right-wing parties tried to push the proposal through, presenting it as absolutely necessary and its passage as inevitable.

Students And Teachers Strike Against Right-Wing Reforms, Militarization

May 10, 2026 Ana Vracar, People's Dispatch. , , ,
Students and teachers in over 60 localities across Italy striked on May 7 to protest education reforms presented by the Meloni government that seek to subordinate the education sector to industry interests and militarization. The measures include aligning technical and professional courses with employer needs and removing critical content from curricula, while keeping thousands of education workers in precarious positions. The day of mobilization was preceded by an additional sectoral strike day on May 6, and coincided with a new wave of dockworkers’ protests for better working conditions and against arms transfers.

Exaggerated Claims About Latino Migration To US By White Nationalists

April 29, 2026 John Perry, Popular Resistance. , , ,
In the run-up to the 2024 election, Donald Trump promised “We will close the border. We will stop the invasion of illegals into our country.” A year later, it was a promise he claimed to have kept. But exactly who are the “illegals”? Loose definitions and manipulated statistics tell a very misleading story about migrants from Latin America. Earlier this year, a chart appeared on social media sites like X claiming that during President Biden's four years in office, 8% of Nicaragua's population entered the US illegally. The chart displayed comparable percentages for five other Latin American countries — Cuba, Haiti, Honduras, Venezuela and Guatemala.

Portugal: General Strike And The Struggle Over Labour Law

February 27, 2026 Jose Soeiro, Transform! Europe. , , ,
On 11 December 2025, a general strike took place, called by all trade union confederations, which brought transport, much of the public services, and the largest companies in Portugal to a standstill – especially in industry, but not only. It was a strong response to a draft bill from the right-wing government, elected in March 2025, which aims to change some of the pillars of labour relations in Portugal. The strike call and its undeniable political success – which the government tried to downplay – changed the terms of the public debate and triggered a repositioning of political actors.

Costa Rica Deepens Alignment With US-Backed Right-Wing Forces

February 9, 2026 Jimmy Zúñiga Wallace, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , ,
Costa Rica held elections on February 1, 2026, and right-wing presidential candidate Laura Fernández Delgado won decisively, exceeding the 40% threshold required to avoid a runoff. Fernández’s campaign was run almost entirely on one promise: continuing what incumbent President Rodrigo Chaves started back in 2022. Just a few days after the electoral authorities declared her the winner, Chaves appointed Fernández as his new minister of the presidency, reinforcing the idea that the newly elected government will be a continuation of the previous one.

Year 2025 In Review For Latin America And The Caribbean

December 31, 2025 Roger D. Harris and John Perry, Popular Resistance. , , , , ,
2025 saw progressive governments in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) delegitimized and displaced. Right-wing forces have seized on drug-related crises to attack the so-called Pink Tide governments, driving a reactionary backwash and putting new, neoliberal administrations in power. The irony is that the rise in drug use and crime is driven by neoliberalism’s failure to meet social needs. But this has been successfully cloaked. A further irony is that governments with the strongest records in limiting the social damage caused by illegal narcotics have been the principal targets of US destabilization campaigns.

Honduras: Electoral Coup Was Unprecedented Fascist Operation

December 27, 2025 TeleSur, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
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

December 15, 2025 Pablo Meriguet, People's Dispatch. , , ,
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. , , , ,
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. , , ,
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

August 2, 2025 L. Cam Anderson, Unicorn Riot. , , ,
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.
