Uncovered: A wave of assassinations of pro-govt supporters in Venezuela

globinfo freexchange Recently, the titles of articles and TV news in the Western media describe a scenery of disaster concerning inflation, prices, and lack of goods in Venezuela, but, of course, some other things are completely buried. Like, for example, the political assassinations of pro-government supporters and the action of the right-Wing opposition groups with the support of US organizations. As the teleSUR reports: Venezuelan authorities are conducting an internal investigation into the assassination of retired Army Major General Felix Velasquez, which is the latest case in a surge of killings targeting pro-government public officials and activists.

«H νέα γαλλική άνοιξη»

του Άρη Χατζηστεφάνου Σε μια μάχη που θα καθορίσει για πολλά χρόνια το μέλλον του εργατικού κινήματος στη Γαλλία αλλά και σε ολόκληρη την Ευρώπη μετατρέπεται η αντιπαράθεση των Γάλλων εργαζομένων με τον πρόεδρο Φρανσουά Ολάντ. Ο τελευταίος, σαν να ήθελε να αποδείξει τα συμφέροντα ποιας τάξης εκπροσωπεί, επέλεξε τη σύνοδο των G7 στην Ιαπωνία για να ανακοινώσει ότι δεν θα υποχωρήσει στην υλοποίηση της εργασιακής νομοθεσίας, την οποία επέβαλε παρακάμπτοντας τις κοινοβουλευτικές διαδικασίες.

UK voters leaning towards Brexit

Public opinion has shifted towards the UK leaving the EU, two Guardian/ICM polls suggest as the referendum campaign picks up pace – with voters split 52% -48% in favour of Brexit, whether surveyed online or by phone. Previous polls have tended to show voters surveyed online to be more in favour of Britain leaving the EU. But in the latest ICM research, carried out for the Guardian, both methodologies yielded the same result – a majority in favour of leaving. “ Our poll rather unhinges a few accepted orthodoxies, ” said ICM’s director, Martin Boon. “ It is only one poll, but in a rather unexpected reverse of polling assumptions so far, both our phone poll and our online poll are consistent on both vote intentions and on the EU referendum. ” Details: http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/may/31/uk-voters-leaning-towards-brexit-guardian-poll-reveals
