Depuis plusieurs jours, un mouvement populaire de grande ampleur se développe contre l'État AKP en Turquie. Le point de départ de ce mouvement : la lutte contre la gentrification urbaine à Istanbul, et plus particulièrement contre la destruction du parc Gezi au profit des promoteurs immobiliers.

Communiqué suite à l'assassinat de Clément Méric par des fascistes.
Il est nécessaire de se rassembler, sur des bases de classes, anticapitalistes et antiautoritaires, pour montrer notre détermination à nous opposer au fascisme et aux actes odieux que ses militant-e-s commettent ! [http://www.anarkismo.net/article/25661]

“This is a revolt, not (yet) a revolution!” A reference to the famous conversation during the outbreak of the French Revolution between King Louis XVI and one of his advisors.
On May Day 2013, the police poured tonnes of tear gas on tens of thousands of workers and youth in different quarters of Istanbul, Turkey in order to stop them from approaching Taksim Square. The government had decided that this square, the traditional venue for May Day celebrations and home to daily political actions big and small, was to be shut to demonstrations this year because development work was being done on a massive scale involving huge excavated pits making it dangerous for crowds. In a ludicrous act, the governor of Istanbul stood atop a mound at the edge of one of those pits to hold a press conference in a desperate attempt to drive home the threat that these pits represented for people.

Workers opposed to privatisation decided to ballot for industrial action after Sussex uni bosses refused to stop the ongoing outsourcing process. The move comes less than three weeks after the Pop-Up Union, an unconventional rank-and-file initiative, became officially listed as a trade union.

It's a model of workers' self organisation that hasn't been seen in this country for a very long time and if it's successful it could be hugely significant for the labour movement which has stagnated for so long. A Sussex student involved with the Pop-Up Union

On 22 August 2012, communities from in, and out, of Gauteng had a meeting at Khanya College, Johannesburg, on the Marikana massacre. More than half of the 50 people who participated, most of the delegates, came from the mine areas affected by the situation in the North West Province.

Entrevista a James Petras
El viernes 31 de Mayo tuvimos el placer de hacer una entrevista telefónica al sociólogo norteamericano James Petras, en el cual tratamos las complejidades del proceso de paz en curso en Colombia. Proceso que abre una oportunidad histórica de poner en el tapete las causas estructurales que han gatillado históricamente la violencia de clase, pero el cual enfrenta formidables enemigos, desde el imperialismo hasta la falta de voluntad de la oligarquía de hacer concesiones significativas o de implementarlas en la práctica. Un lugar crucial en este franco debate lo constituyó la reciente visita de Capriles y su significado, al ser parte del doble juego de Santos que, por una parte habla de hermandad y por otra, se alía con los golpistas; que mientras habla de paz, fortalece al ejército y busca alianzas con la OTAN; que mientras exige gestos a las guerrillas, sigue bombardeando, persiguiendo a dirigentes populares e implementa una campaña mediática propia de la guerra sucia para dividir al campo popular.

Mención aparte merecen las reflexiones de Petras en torno al modelo de paz irlandés y sus diferencias claves con la eventual paz que se necesita en Colombia -más allá de cierrtos aspectos metodológicos (cese al fuego, proceso integral, agenda abierta) es importante tener en cuenta las diferencias fundamentales de ambos conflictos y la dinámicas propia a la lucha de clases en Colombia. Estas reflexiones son hechas en el marco de la reciente visita que realizó a la República de Irlanda.

Dejamos con ustedes esta entrevista con una figura de primer orden en la izquierda internacional para aportar con nuevos elementos al proceso que atraviesa Colombia, el cual precisa que los movimientos populares se pongan a la cabeza y estrechen sus lazos en un solo clamor por la solución política al conflicto social y armado.

Των Devrimci Anarşist Faaliyet (DAF)
Κάλεσμα των Επαναστατών Αναρχικών για διεθνή αλληλεγγύη στην εν εξελίξει λαϊκή εξέγερση ενάντια στην κρατική τρομοκρατία -
Μετά απο επαφή με την συντροφική μας οργάνωση στην Istanbul την Devrimci Anarşist Faaliyet (DAF) "Αναρχική Επανασταστική Δράση" μας στάλθηκε κείμενο μέλους της στα αγγλικά, με το οποίο οι αναρχικοί της Τουρκιας στέλνουν διεθνές κάλεσμα αλληλεγγύης στην εξέγερση του λαού τους. Το κείμενο μεταφρασμένο στα ελληνικά. Παράλληλα έγινε μια πρώτη ενημέρωση στους συντρόφους για τις κινήσεις αλληλεγγύης στην Ελλάδα.

El Premio Nobel de la Paz, Adolfo Pérez Esquivel, expresó su rechazo a las gestiones del presidente Santos para incorporar a Colombia dentro de la OTAN: "Mientras la Unión de Naciones del Sur (UNASUR) y la Comunidad de Estados de Latinoamerica y el Caribe (CELAC) son iniciativas de paz y de unión regional frente a las potencias. La OTAN representa todo lo opuesto. Es un organismo que fomenta las armas nucleares, el intervencionismo y la violación de los derechos humanos y de los pueblos".
