🇨🇺The impacts of a tightened US blockade, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the return of Trump with a vindictive Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, have deepened the crisis in Cuba, making international solidarity with the island more important than ever.
Manolo De Los Santos writes: "Cuba is once again facing a severe, multi-faceted crisis, not due to the hurricanes that pummel through the Caribbean every year, but from the relentless and suffocating pressure exerted by its powerful neighbor to the north. This is a recurring story of a people striving for independence under an unyielding siege and blockade. Through deliberate actions, the US government has been meticulously constructing and enforcing even greater barriers that threaten the very survival of the Cuban people."

Despite widespread opposition in Serbia, the European Commission has included a lithium and boron mining project by multinational corporation Rio Tinto on its list of strategic projects located outside the European Union.
The announcement has been met with outrage by residents of the Jadar Valley and activists across Serbia, who have spent years mobilizing to block the project. “The European Commission has backed this project despite the opposition of the people, who have been resisting it for five years, as its realization poses significant risks to water supplies, the environment, and the economy,” the campaign Pravo na vodu (Right to Water) wrote on social media.

The mobilization took place outside the National Congress, which was discussing a potential increase in pensions for retirees. Last year, Milei vetoed a pension increase that was approved by the Congress.
