Our headlines this week start abroad, following up on the protests sweeping Argentina and the struggle against unsafe working conditions in the European heatwave. We also have headlines from Amazon…
fascist technocrat.
I don't really know how we're supposed to classify Javier Millay, who seems to be getting more paranoid, delusional by the day.
If
there's one positive thing I can say about Javier Millay, it's that he is a great excuse to use every negative adjective you know, because they will all be correct.
Yeah, so, I mean, in addition to how weird and awful it is from afar, of course, more importantly, his horrific policies are really devastating, especially, of course, the working class in Argentina.
And thousands protested in Buenos Aires against attempts to literally sell the country off by raising the current legal cap on foreign land ownership to a full 25% of each of Argentina's provinces.
Well, that is not subtle.
You don't have to wonder what that is for.
Yeah, and so this is actually, you know, obviously, unfortunately, Malay is still in power.
However, this kind of ridiculous provision where they're just like, no, of course we should just be able to sell the whole country, or in this case, a quarter of it.
Well, that's no longer going to go through because that was a step too far.
Protesters actually won removal of that item from the bill through mass pressure.
However, unfortunately...
The rest of this omnibus rights-destroying bill number seven, or whichever this one is in Malay's term, has a whole bunch of other awful land reform nominal items in it, land unreform, which are aimed at seizing indigenous lands and making it easier for landlords to force people from their homes.
Those provisions are still in the bill.

Through this clip, I will be counting up.
Each number indicates a new person speaking.
One, the reality is we are all Argentine.

That's clear to all of us by now.
People who didn't dare talk about politics for fear of persecution by this very dictatorial state found the courage to say, please do not give away our Argentina with us inside it.
Don't sell it.
Don't use it for payments to the IMF because we did not ask for that loan either.
We totally repudiate it.
