Laura Wells | indybay.org | 2021-06-04

The US government has spent years cultivating a ring of right-wing media outlets in Nicaragua that played a central role in a violent 2018 coup attempt. This network is now being investigated by the Nicaraguan government on allegations of money laundering. | These publications are an integral part of a political opposition that Washington has carefully managed, trained, and funded with millions of dollars over the past decade.

Polls have Pedro Castillo Winning Sunday's Election in Peru
Carlos Arellán | orinocotribune.com | 2021-06-01
Although it seems to be reflect issues common to most any democratic process, this Sunday's election in Peru has all the characteristics of a historic event. | This is because of what is at stake: two starkly contrasting visions of the country's destiny. Either Peru will continue along the neoliberal path, or choose the option of a progressive government tendentiously called "communist" by the local right. | Last Sunday, May 30, Professor Pedro Castillo and Keiko Fujimori held the final televised debate prior to the elections. It was held in the city of Arequipa, and as in all events of this kind there was no sho…

Jofre Leal accurately and correctly summarizes that Nicaragua, like Bolivia, Cuba and Venezuela is the…
