BRICS, the new road and rising voice

The BRICS meeting was successful with the adoption of two important decisions.


Responding to various expectations, 6 countries - Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Ethiopia, UAE and Argentina - were accepted to be part of the group. With this expansion the BRICS group will represent the first world group in terms of wealth, population and potential, with 37% of the world Gross Domestic Product and 46% of the world population, exceeding the share of the G7 (32% of the GDP and 10% of the world's population). Africa will be present with three members and three countries will represent the Arab world. Witnessing the dynamics of BRICS, other countries - more than 40 in total - expressed their will to join the group.


As we see, the countries that are looking for an alternative to the relations imposed on them by the West are joining the BRICS group.


In addition, the rules of the New Development Bank, created by the BRICS, have been better designed to provide real assistance to developing countries, quite different from those of the World Bank which prevailed for nearly 80 years and kept most countries in their underdevelopment.


The focus of BRICS will remain international cooperation, a peaceful world and a new world order having as a priority the true interests of those who need it most, ie the developing countries.

France: results and challenges

The New Popular Front won 182 seats in the snap parliamentary elections, making it the largest group in the French National Assembly, which has 577 seats. This is obviously a reason for immense satisfaction and relief for millions of French people who were enduring the anti-social policies of Macron's regime. It is also an open opportunity for all those who want real change. That said, and without minimizing the results obtained, it must be remembered that the new Popular Front only secured 31.2% of the seats in the National Assembly and that the percentage of French people who voted for it represents only 25.1% of the votes. In comparison, the Popular Front of 1936 obtained 63.5% of the seats and 57.8% of the French voted for it! This means that the New Popular Front is far behind the 1936 performance. But all this does not take away from the immense success achieved this week. It simply means that the New Front has enormous task to perform to convince more French people of the ne...

Justice on the Side of the Palestinian People

July 19, 2024, marks a monumental victory for justice, which has clearly sided with the rights of the Palestinian people. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued an opinion declaring that Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories is illegal. The court demanded that all states take action to end this occupation and that Israel pay reparations to Palestinians who have suffered due to this situation. It is important to note that this opinion follows a recent decision by the Court requiring Israel to cease any actions in Gaza that could constitute genocide. This ICJ opinion will strengthen international pressure on Israel. Although it will take time, just like the end of apartheid in South Africa, there is no doubt that justice will prevail and that Palestinians will regain their right to self-determination.

"Hamas cannot be destroyed" because "it is an idea." !!

No, this is not a statement from Hamas, but from Daniel Hagari, the spokesperson for the Zionist army! It took 37,000 deaths and the destruction of an entire territory for the Zionist army to recognize this!  Why did it take 37,000 deaths to acknowledge this? Because Israel is an occupying army, and colonial occupying armies do not understand that a colonized people can resist.  Why also this "idea"? For a simple reason: Palestine was colonized and its people had only one choice, which was to resist the occupier.  Similarly, the Zionist entity reveals itself for what it is: Europeans who came to colonize a territory, as has been done for centuries. The European settlers who created the Zionist movement are Ashkenazi Jews who have no connection to Palestine. They are Russians, Poles, Belarusians, Austrians, Romanians, etc. The Zionist movement is a racist movement, just like Nazism: it presumes a "pure race."  The Jewish religion was born in Palestine, and people con...
