Colombia

In Colombia, presidential candidate Ivan Cepeda, the favorite in the polls ahead of the presidential elections in two weeks, denounced pressure from armed groups seeking to influence the election results.

The political successor of president Gustavo Petro stated that he will present this information to the authorities so that those responsible are investigated and punished with the full force of the law. 

Bolivia 

In Bolivia, protests against the right-wing neoliberal government of Rodrigo Paz have now continued for two weeks, with demonstrators calling for his resignation. 

Protesters are also demanding higher wages, economic stability, and an end to plans to privatize public companies.

Palestine

And the people of Palestine commemorate the 78th anniversary of the Nakba, an operation in which more than 800,000 Palestinians were displaced to neighboring countries by Jewish Zionist forces. 

This commemoration is perceived not only as a historical event but also as an ongoing reality in light of the genocide in Gaza and the continuing Israeli occupation.
