La ratification du règlement gouvernemental sur les salaires 2026 confirme une fois de plus l'orientation de la politique de l'État qui favorise les intérêts des employeurs au détriment de la vie des travailleurs et travailleuses. Loin d'être un instrument de protection, ce règlement renforce au contraire la politique des bas salaires qui pèse depuis longtemps sur les travailleurs et travailleuses, en particulier les ouvrières. Femmes libres considère que le règlement sur les salaires (…)

The ratification of the 2026 Government Regulation on Wages once again confirms the direction of state policy that favours the interests of employers over the lives of workers. Rather than serving as an instrument of protection, this regulation instead strengthens the low wage politics that have long burdened workers, particularly women workers. Free Women considers that the 2026 Wage Regulation was not born from the lived reality of workers, but rather from the logic of economic (…)

From beginning to end, 2025 was a year of devastation for scientists in the United States. January saw the abrupt suspension of key operations across the National Institutes of Health, not only disrupting clinical trials and other in-progress studies but stalling grant reviews and other activities necessary to conduct research. Around the same time, the Trump administration issued executive orders declaring there are only two sexes and ending DEI programs. The Trump administration also (…)

Trump has designated the government of Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro as a foreign terrorist organization, the first country to ever receive that designation. The (…)

Venezuela and its people are the first direct victims of the “Trump Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine.” This war, which has already been declared, is not against drug trafficking or the Maduro regime, but rather for oil and rare earth minerals, military bases, information, and misgovernment. All democratic, progressive, popular, and leftist forces must denounce and confront the US offensive against Venezuela, which in no way means defending the Maduro government. “America First” is the (…)
