What Happened and What Lessons Leftists Should Learn from the Defeat of Oppositions in the Parliament?

“ICE is a public health crisis because patients are afraid to seek care because they're afraid to go outside. People in the hospital should feel like they can seek care and not be in fear of persecution.”

Early 2026 has been turbulent for the Algerian regime, marked by an accumulation of improvisations and tensions creating a state of alert. A series of social and political events have highlighted structural and latent contradictions in governmental affairs management that contradict the president's triumphalist rhetoric.

The Starmer projest is crashing.

“The outpouring of protest and support for immigrants is a multiracial fightback based in the working class with anti-racist politics at its heart. It is a powerful antidote to Trump's use of anti-immigrant scapegoating.”

“That direction is hard right, outspokenly neoliberal, completely antisocial and a choice in favour of capital. It is a direction of severe cuts to social services, attacks on migrants and refugees, giving free rein to businesses and increasing militarization.”

The neo-fascist in the White House is attempting to bring the Caribbean island and its government to its knees, strangling it economically once and for all, killing its people with darkness and scarcity. But this is not “just” a war against Cuba and its revolutionary tradition.

Scheinbaum, Lula, Petro, Orsi and the social democratic governments must emphatically oppose this crime in all international forums and organisations.
