Argentina’s Presidential election 2019 – is this the year that the Latin American left launches a counter-offensive?

17th August 2019

The prospect of the left gaining an electoral victory this autumn in Argentina, one of Latin America’s largest and most influential countries, provides a significant impetus for left and progressive movements across the whole region. The strong chance of a victory for the Alberto Fernandez and Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner left ticket also raises the following question: will 2019 signal the start of a left wing counter-offensive in Latin America which sees the left pushing back against the US-sponsored right wing offensive that has put the ‘pink tide’ on the defensive for the past five years?

Only Labour can lead the fight against Britain’s Trump and a No Deal Brexit

29th July 2019

Has Trump blinked first on Iran?

3rd June 2019 Socialist Action 0

On 27 May, during his visit to Tokyo, US President Trump told reporters that Iran “has a chance to be a great country with the same leadership”. He added “I’m not looking to hurt Iran at all.
