During the fourth ministerial meeting of the China-CELAC Forum, held on May 13, 2025, in Beijing, Latin American governments articulated a new vision for engagement with China. The future of the BRI in the region will depend not only on Chinese financing and technical expertise, but also on the capacity of Latin American countries to design inclusive development strategies and build effective institutional frameworks. The challenge now is to move from diplomatic declarations to transformative action, and turn the partnership into shared prosperity.

Israel promotes sectarianism and advocates for the partition of Syria

With the fall of al-Assad in December, a kind of floodgates were opened, which Israel is exploiting with the various minorities—Druze, Kurds, and even Alawites—fomenting sectarianism and nationalism among these groups in order to achieve the partition of Syria, a goal acknowledged by Minister Smotrich.

Behind these movements lies the struggle between Netanyahu and Turkish President Recept Tayyip Erdogan for regional hegemony. Both leaders desire control over Syria, but while the latter seeks the continuation of the so-called political Islam that Sharaa advocates in a united Syria, the former wants a weak, divided, and unstructured Syria that is truly loyal to the Zionist state.

Side…. which side?

The barrage of criticism surrounding Pedro Sánchez's recent trip to China has been surprising. They say it's not "our side," that "there's more to Asia" than China (although the mission also included Vietnam), that the timing couldn't have been worse... However, the trip was a complete success, both in terms of the current situation and the expectations it met, judging by the official assessment provided by Moncloa.

And which side are we on? That of Mr. "Neckcutter," who assigns unavoidable duties to Minister Cuerpo? Or that of Robert Palladino, chargé d'affaires of the US Embassy in Hungary, who has warned the Hungarian government to refrain from attracting Chinese investment?

The US, an empire in decline

The international community is bewildered by the seemingly confusing decisions of Donald Trump and his team, but in my opinion, there is a certain consistency in all of them: the recognition of the United States' failure as a dominant global power and the retreat from its leadership.

The issue of tariffs is probably the most telling. Three decades ago, the United States felt like the victorious economic power in a globalized world. It believed its global production, sales, and distribution capacity was superior to that of other countries and that its market dominance was absolute.

China on Pedro Sánchez's radar

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is traveling to China again to meet with President Xi Jinping. This is his third visit in the last three years, a truly unusual development and a true reflection of the importance that the Spanish government places on its relationship with China, as an expression of a significant rebalancing of Spanish foreign policy based on the strategic interest of strengthening economic and diplomatic relations with Beijing.

Requiem for a country

As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a bad thing without some good: the narrow failure of the BSW, Sahra Wagenknecht's Union, the country's only anti-war party, to break the five percent barrier (which would keep it out of parliament) has spared us at least one Minister Habeck and other permanently offended Green whiners in the new federal government.

In the future, the pitiful stuttering and cringe-inducing mutterings will no longer be sold to us as the work of great statesmen. But that is also the only really positive aspect of this “decisive election” – this hackneyed expression is actually appropriate now.

Ukraine war and massive rearmament hidden from German elections

The war in Ukraine and its consequences will have a lasting negative impact on Germany's political, security, economic and social future. For the West, this war is already lost; Ukraine is its blood sacrifice and the EU countries, above all Germany, are the losers. Germany's leading parties, the SPD, CDU/CSU, Greens and FDP, as well as the country's established media, bear a large part of the blame for this.

However, questions about their responsibilities in this war have been mysteriously silenced during the current German election campaign. Similarly, there is hardly any talk of the German government's massive rearmament efforts and its attempts to make Germany "ready for war."

A “new reactionary international”: how Elon Musk is spreading his fascist ideals in Europe

If Donald Trump began his second term as President of the United States on January 20, he owes it in part to his new friend Elon Musk. With little rancor, the American billionaire has offered the new Ministry of “Government Efficiency” to the man who, in 2022, considered him “too old to be President of anything, let alone the United States of America.”

It is worth remembering that Musk used his considerable influence to help the Republican candidate win, occupying the public space like never before.

The relationship between Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu is truly peculiar. One is 78 years old and the other 75. One has amassed a huge fortune while the other is reluctantly content with a more modest fortune. One is beginning his second term as president of the most powerful country in the world and the other is approaching the end of his political career with great power but licking his wounds from the war in Gaza.

The latest steps of the escalation that we have just witnessed in Ukraine, the involvement of the West in missile attacks on Russian territory and Moscow's response by launching for the first time, on November 21, an intermediate-range hypersonic missile called Oreshnik with multiple independent reentry vehicles (MIRVs), impossible to intercept and a conventional payload, have a clear and concrete logic: it is a race to define the assets for a future negotiated solution to this war.

Milei, who had promised during his campaign that the adjustment would be paid for by the caste, or the most privileged sectors, has done nothing but attack the most disadvantaged, including retirees and millions of people who have been living in vulnerable situations for decades.

Everything you need to know about the Venezuelan elections that you won't find in the media

Following the election in Venezuela on July 28, you will have seen, heard and read many comments in the media of this type: “The Venezuelan government has committed fraud because it has not shown the voting records”, “The opposition has shown records that show that it won the elections”, “The government and the army are repressing the opposition who demonstrate against electoral fraud”, “Maduro did not allow representatives of the EU to enter as electoral observers”, “The left-wing governments of Latin America are demanding that Maduro present the electoral records”.
