After several months of intense debate, the government of Colombian President Gustavo Petro, achieved a new political victory and a key campaign promise when the legislature approved his long-awaited labor reform bill. The president signed it into law on June 25.
Peoples Dispatch spoke with María Fernanda Carrascal, Colombian congresswoman of the Pacto Histórico (ruling party), a member of the Seventh Commission of the House of Representatives and the speaker of the Labor Reform bill.
Carrascal stated that the labor reform, “was not only a campaign promise of Petro and of our political project but it is also the intergenerational construction of a need for justice for working people, something that workers had been seeking for decades, after the backwards reform [passed during Uribe’s government] took away many rights, purchasing power, reduced their wage income, in short, it made them precarious in every possible way.”

“The attempt to ban a political protest group, and effectively brand them a ‘terrorist’ organization is unprecedented,” Palestine Action stated.
Palestine Action insists its members are “teachers, nurses, students and parents who take part in actions disrupting the private companies who are arming Israel’s genocide, by spray painting or entering their factory premises” – a far cry from inciting violence or engaging in terrorism.

#PeoplesHistory | Today is the birthday of Salvador Allende, the first socialist president of Chile. Though his presidency was brief, Allende left an indelible mark on history by nationalizing key industries, most notably copper, and advancing sweeping social reforms aimed at redistributing wealth and expanding access to housing, education, and healthcare.
His democratic socialist project was violently interrupted on September 11, 1973, when a US-backed coup led by General Augusto Pinochet overthrew his government. The coup not only ended Allende’s life but also dismantled Chile’s democratic institutions and installed a brutal dictatorship.
Allende died defending his vision of socialism, staying true to his principles until the very end — choosing death over surrender as he defended the presidential palace with a rifle in his hands.

#PeoplesHistory | 🇦🇷Today we remember Maximiliano Kosteki and Darío Santillán — two piqueteros and working-class activists in Argentina’s mass social movements of the early 2000s. They were part of a wave of protests led by the poor and unemployed against neoliberalism, IMF-imposed austerity, and government submission to financial capital.
They were murdered by the police, and authorities — alongside much of the corporate media — attempted to cover up the crime. However, the work of independent journalists, human rights organizations, and photojournalists helped expose the truth and keep their legacy alive.

What was meant to be a solemn commemoration of the first anniversary of the historic anti-Finance Bill protests in Kenya turned chaotic as police clashed with demonstrators across several cities.
“The protests now symbolize indictments of the system itself – a system defined by authoritarianism, police violence, austerity, foreign domination, and the privatization of every public good. The state responded as expected – not with dialogue, but with bullets,” Rodgers, a grassroots organizer with the Nairobi chapter of the Social Justice Movement, told Peoples Dispatch.

The truth is that the term “capture” is not entirely appropriate. Fito’s apprehension is actually a “recapture”. In January 2024, the country was shocked to learn that Fito had escaped from jail, despite the immense resources that the government had allocated to the prisons to prevent that kind of mishap.
Furthermore, Noboa announced his intention to extradite the leader of Los Choneros to the US, where there is an open investigation against Fito in the New York District Court for arms and drug trafficking: “We have done our part to proceed with the extradition of Fito to the United States, we are awaiting your response.”
Some analysts interpret Noboa’s statement as an admission of the state’s failure to keep high-profile detainees in its custody without risking their escape.
