On 12 August 1975, 51 years ago today, the fascist regime, already in its death throes but as bloodthirsty as ever, cold-bloodedly murdered one of the most lucid consciences of the Galician working class. Franco would die months later, but Moncho Reboiras would not live to see it. He neither begged for mercy nor went into hiding: he confronted the dictatorship with the tool of trade union organisation. His true subversion, beyond the armed legend, was the weaving of the … Read more

On August 8, 1974, 51 years ago today, the President of the United States of America, Richard Nixon, announced in a televised address from the Oval Office his resignation from office, preempting the impeachment process. He was the first president in that country’s history to take that step, and the reason was the scandal known as Watergate—the famous case of political espionage that brought to the fore the workings of what was supposed to be a democracy and shook the … Read more

While numerous countries and regions sit today in Hiroshima’s Peace Park to attend the commemorative ceremony of the 81st anniversary of the atomic bomb blast, nuclear-armed states continue to modernize their arsenals. The record attendance, exceeding last year’s 120 delegations, stands in stark contrast to the paralysis of international disarmament. The “hibakusha”, survivors whose ranks dwindle each year, attend a ceremony where pacifist symbolism clashes with the reality of an international system that invests billions in the lucrative business of … Read more

Without a doubt, the European law known as Chat Control that is being imposed in the EU represents a very serious violation of the right to privacy, among other things. It is above all dangerous because of what it implies, the intentions behind it, and because it sets a legal precedent that goes against the very liberal democracy that the European institutions profess, turning the EU into an authoritarian democracy; with Chat Control, voting would cease to be anonymous and … Read more

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) will hold a leaders’ summit in less than a month, on July 7 and 8, 2026, in the Turkish capital, Ankara.

When we look at the present and see how capital profits grow rapidly while the living conditions of the working class stagnate or decline, we understand the need to recover collective memory and avoid the paralysis imposed by individualism. Current rights (such as the eight-hour workday, maternity protection, or equal pay) are the result of organization and social mobilization, not spontaneous concessions. This article revisits five historical milestones that demonstrate the transformative power of organized struggle. The first major milestone … Read more

The struggle for decent housing has been a constant feature of Spain’s recent history. From the earliest protests against evictions to the current demonstrations against property speculation, neighbourhood and citizens’ movements have marked key milestones in the fight for this fundamental right. One of the largest mobilisations took place in 1931, when the CNT called a rent strike in Barcelona in response to the mass evictions caused by the 1929 crisis. Around 100,000 families joined the strike for eight months, … Read more

On 25 April 1974, the Carnation Revolution, led by the Armed Forces Movement (MFA), brought an end to Portugal’s Estado Novo, the longest-running dictatorship in Western Europe. In a non-violent uprising, the population took to the streets to support the military, placing red carnations in the barrels of their rifles. José Afonso’s song “Grândola, Vila Morena” was broadcast on the radio to serve as a signal to the groups that simultaneously seized the various seats of power, and it became … Read more

Libertarian municipalism is a political and social proposal developed primarily by the American thinker Murray Bookchin starting in the 1980s. This current of thought, rooted in social ecology, is based on the premise that human scale and proximity are indispensable conditions for truly democratic management of public life. In contrast to the concentration of power in large states and bureaucracy, libertarian municipalism proposes reclaiming the capacity to make decisions in the most immediate spaces: neighborhoods and towns. The central idea … Read more
