The erosion of judicial independence and press freedom, often noted by Hungarian and foreign observers in recent years, has turned Viktor Orbán into a nationalist and populist leader increasingly removed from liberal democracy. It is not an exceptional case that the Prime Minister of Hungary since 2010 has opted for a head-on clash with the liberal idea of ​​Europe that has dominated until now, nor that from Budapest he promotes his ideas throughout the West, his main ally being the Israeli Benjamin Netanyahu.

A new-old ghost hangs over Europe: war. The most violent continent in the world in terms of the number of deaths caused by wars during the last 100 years (not to go any further and include the deaths suffered by Europe during religious wars and the deaths inflicted by Europeans on peoples subjected to colonialism) is headed for a new war.
Nearly 80 years after World War II, the most violent conflict yet, which killed between 70 and 85 million people, the coming war may be even deadlier. All previous conflicts began apparently without a compelling reason and were supposed to last for a short time.

MEDEA BENJAMIN AND NICOLAS JS DAVIES
No party in this conflict has come forward with their own people to honestly explain what they are fighting for, what they really hope to achieve, and how they plan to achieve it. All parties claim to be fighting for noble causes and insist that it is the other party that refuses to negotiate a peaceful resolution. Everyone is manipulating and lying, and the complacent media (from all sides) proclaim their lies.

When the United States becomes militarily involved in a conflict, it often finds it difficult to get out, let alone avoid deep entanglements that far exceed the lines it had drawn at the outset of the intervention.
It happened in Vietnam, when American military advisers helping the South Vietnamese fight the Viet Cong eventually became American soldiers fighting an American war. It happened in Afghanistan, when an initial invasion to capture al-Qaeda and topple the Taliban turned into a nearly two-decade nation-building project. And it could be happening right now in Ukraine.

In the first months of the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), in the territory controlled by the coup leaders who were facing the Government of the Republic, there were more than one hundred thousand murders and subsequent disappearance of people with Republican loyalty. Most are still missing and in this interview Emilio Silva, president of the Association for the Recovery of Historical Memory (ARMH), criticizes the lack of involvement of the authorities when it comes to recovering the bodies of the victims. Not even the recent Law of Historical Memory makes the State responsible, he denounces.

Instead of undertaking the necessary international concertation to face the challenges of the century, the global elites, and in the first place the Western powers, mobilize their societies to fight against their geopolitical rivals. In the great context of the relative decline of the Western power in the world and the transfer to Asia of a good part of that power, there is no other strategy than a reflex of panic, consistent with the well-known saying "the thief thinks that everyone belongs to him". same condition”.
