⚡️🇪🇸🇺🇸JUST IN: Spain’s PM Pedro Sanchez: After much reflection, Spain has decided not to participate in the so-called Board of Peace. We thank them for the invitation, but we decline. This board is outside the United Nations framework. It does not include the Palestinian Authority. The future of Gaza and the West Bank must be decided by Palestinians.

At the same time, we will not renounce public healthcare, public education, social cohesion, or development aid. Security is not only weapons. Security is scholarships for our children. Security is public hospitals for our elderly.

A reminder of the kind of evil regime the Iranian people are fighting against.

Greta Thunberg in Greece: I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me, but that is not the story. Israel is escalating genocide and mass destruction with genocidal intent, attempting to erase an entire population in front of our eyes.

Starting in November 1990 with 42,000 Zonguldak coal miners protesting neoliberal privatization policies, low wages, and harsh conditions, it grew to 100,000 participants by January 1991. Though it did not end as the miners desired. But this march has shown how workers can put fear in the hearts of capitalists and their governments when they rise as one .
