Nicaragua

A cornered regime is shooting at a mounting civic revolution
The exploding insurrection of consciousness in April has unexpectedly only grown despite the military response. Whether in street mobilizations, highway blockades or dialogue, everyone is demanding the same thing: justice and democracy. The Ortega-Murillo regime’s answer has been injustice and repression, only losing it more supporters and adding more calls for their departure. Internationally, above all in the Organization of American States, awareness is growing of what has been happening, what’s happening now, and what could happen if the crisis in Nicaragua drags out. ... continuar...

Are April and May’s “vandals” Reparto Schick gang members?
In the bloodiest days of April and since, Daniel Ortega blamed neighborhood gangs for the violence and looting in the streets.

But I can say whether those purported ties involved gangs from Reparto Schick.... continuar...

América Latina

The end of post-neoliberalism
The end of Latin America’s progressive governments permits us to see how they administered a project that wasn’t post-capitalist, but merely post-neoliberal. Those governments themselves surreptitiously introduced the “conservative restoration” they are denouncing today and were the ones who paved the way for it in their countries.. ... continuar...
