Der Sieg von #Lula ist mehr als eine gewonnene Präsidentschaftswahl. Er ist ein Signal in die Welt, dass die extreme Rechte geschlagen werden kann - in Brasilien, in Israel, in Europa! Hoch die internationale Solidarität! ✊🏽

Macron has banned some protests in France tomorrow and is using private security to suppress the movement. Meanwhile students are calling on him to resign. The suppression won’t work. General strike on #5novembre and beyond @LegavreJerome

Absolutely correct points from @David_Jamieson7 we need from the pro-Palestine left committed to a broad solidarity movement to make similar. @kevin_ovenden @LindseyAGerman @JohnWRees @BrynHGriffiths @josephalextodd @meadwaj
David Jamieson@David_Jamieson7Oct 21
I watched the interview, and this is a good description: it’s about Green Party strategy, rather than the needs of the broad Palestine solidarity movement and still less anti-imperialism. It’s narrowly electoralist with a focus on 1-upping Labour for party gain. 1/
