Maduro's contentious victory has left Venezuela torn between a capitalist regime masquerading as socialist and US imperialism, says Simón Rodríguez Porras.

Claudia Sheinbaum's sweeping victory won't bring about reform in Mexico nor change the country's weak position on Palestine, writes Simón Rodríguez Porras.

Colombia has severed ties with Israel, breaking decades of relations and reliance. But, as Simon Rodríguez Porras writes, that may be easier said than done.

As Latin American nations condemn Israel's war on Gaza, Argentina's new far-right pro-Israel leader stands out as an anomaly, writes Simón Rodríguez Porras.

As people take to the streets and governments recall their ambassadors to Israel, Simón Rodríguez Porras writes that Palestine solidarity in South America is not only a fight against Israeli apartheid but also US hegemony in the region.

As Israel’s attacks on Gaza continue, killing over 5,700 Palestinians, the West hasn’t ceased its support of the genocide. Aimé Césaire reminds us that this is accepted due to the dehuminisation of non-white people, writes Simón Rodríguez Porras.

As the Dominican Republic is set to honour Israel at the Santo Domingo International Book Fair, writers & activists have called for a boycott. Solidarity has been weak in the past, but the current campaign is growing, writes Simón Rodríguez.

Simón Rodríguez Porras reflects on the history of Lula’s rule, parts of which he says raise serious questions about the future, including his militarisation of slums in Brazil, complicity in the occupation of Haiti, and trade agreement with Israel.

During Israel’s assault on Gaza in May 2021, on the other side of the world, Argentinians in the streets and the congress made it clear that they stand with Palestine despite efforts to silence and intimidate them, writes Simón Rodríguez Porras.
