¡Ya Basta!

Descansa en paz, mi comandante Tomás.

Hace unas pocas horas, falleció el Comandante de la Revolución Nicaragüense, Tomás Borge Martínez, un hombre cuyas palabras me han afectado muchísimo en los últimos 16 meses, hasta cambiar profundamente mi forma de entender al mundo. El me enseñó lo que es el verdadero compromiso a la lucha, y más, como practicar el amor en tiempos de guerra.

Aún con todas sus fallas, Tomás es, como su compañero Carlos Fonseca, de los muertos que nunca mueren. Con alegría los cielos te dan la bienvenida, mientras aquí ya se te extraña mucho.

Infelizmente, só morrem os bons

Dig for victory!

Public sector workers in Portugal have gone on strike to protest against the government’s austerity measures.

Schools were closed as teachers walked out, commuters faced severe delays on trains and buses, and hospitals had to work with reduced staffing.

The strike was called by Portugal’s biggest trade union, the General Confederation of Portuguese Workers.

Public sector workers are angry over job cuts and tax rises adopted in return for an international bailout.

Hundreds of union members marched from central Lisbon to the parliament building on Thursday afternoon, with separate youth movement and leftist demonstrations taking place elsewhere.

Staff at the Sao Jose hospital in Lisbon formed a picket line and strung up a banner saying “nurses join the general strike”, the Associated Press reported.

It is Portugal’s second strike in four months.

The government has brought in austerity measures as part of a three-year debt reduction plan, which it has to implement to receive a 78bn euro (£65bn) bailout from other eurozone countries and the International Monetary Fund.

It has privatised several industries, cut public sector wages and raised sales, income, corporate and property tax. Welfare benefits have also been curtailed.

Police, businesses attacked during anti-police demonstration — Montreal, Canada

Protesters lobbed objects at police and smashed a Montreal law-enforcement vehicle during a march Thursday that authorities described as illegal.

At an event that has become an annual rite of spring in Montreal, police made at least five arrests Thursday and demanded that the crowd disburse.

About 1,000 people were marching in the event, which regularly turns into a symphony of smashed windows and projectiles lobbed at officers. Some protesters are carrying rocks, while at least one building has been spray-painted.

“Businesses have been vandalized,” Montreal police announced via social media. “A police car has been vandalized and projectiles are being thrown at police.”

While there had only been five arrests so far, more were likely. Last year, by the time the event ended, there were more than 200 arrests.

This year’s anti-police march comes at a particularly sensitive time.

There have been battles in recent weeks at massive student protest marches against tuition hikes. One student suffered a serious eye injury amid a police intervention at a march last week.

Also heightening tensions are several shootings involving Montreal police, including one where an innocent bystander was killed by a stray bullet on his way to work at a hospital.

Police say 13 of the previous 15 editions of the march have degenerated into confrontations where arrests have been made.

A group called the Collective Opposed to Police Brutality, which organizes the annual event, never provides authorities with the protest route in advance as more mainstream protest organizers do.

“The route of the demonstration has not been provided and there exists no provision that obliges anyone to ask for a permit to demonstrate,” the collective said in a statement.

Organizers say other protests are planned in Toronto, Vancouver, Dallas, Brussels and Paris.
