On Sunday, along Paseo de la Reforma, the flags of Mexico and Cuba fluttered in unison in the same breeze. The procession covered 2.6 kilometers from the Hemiciclo a Juárez to the former U.S. Embassy in a march against the blockade and in defense of Cuban sovereignty. It might have seemed like a one-off protest. In reality, it was the resurgence of a political memory that has spanned the Gulf for two centuries. (more…)

The Struggle Continues
Uncompromising and bold when it came to making decisions, especially those concerning the interests of his beloved Venezuela. Passionate and enthusiastic in his defense of the most disadvantaged, to whom he dedicated each and every day of his term in office. A champion of unity to strike together against the Empire—a commitment he demonstrated not only in domestic politics but also in the doctrine he established throughout Latin America and the world. Thoughtful and down-to-earth when it came to opening the doors to debate—even with his fiercest enemies—and when formulating ideas that would bridge positions that were poles apart. We are speaking of Hugo Chávez, whom we miss so dearly on what would have been his 72nd birthday. (more…)

Washington’s friend, President Daniel Noboa of Ecuador
President Daniel Noboa is governing Ecuador with increasingly authoritarian methods. Elected in 2023 and reelected in 2025, he has concentrated power in the executive branch, clashed with the Constitutional Court, abused states of emergency, and turned the justice system into a tool against his opponents. Analysts and human rights organizations describe a drift toward dictatorship: a leader who preserves the forms of democracy while eroding its substance. The run-up to the local elections on November 29, 2026, offers the clearest example of this strategy, aimed at securing victory by preventing the opposition from fielding candidates. (more…)

Celebration of the 47th anniversary of the triumph of the Sandinista Popular Revolution in Managua. (July 19th 2026)
Western leaders and media denounce foreign influence in their own corrupt elections but constantly meddle to vitiate elections in other countries. The latest false propaganda assault on Nicaragua’s Sandinista government uses dishonest reporting of remarks by Co-president Daniel Ortega announcing reforms to protect Nicaragua’s elections from US and allied country interference. This latest episode in the West’s psychological warfare against Nicaragua should be seen as part of the wider global conflict now threatening all countries of the majority world. (more…)
