Rio’s governor is on the same page as Bolsonaro and more like Filipino Duerte

Peoples like the governor of Rio Janeiro have been killed, or public executed in Mexico by the drugs dealers, The Favelas are like war zones where many peoples live in extreme poverty and many are forced to go into the drug business in order to survive, and in many of them the police and the armed forces are not permitted to go inside the favelas without confrontation, the killing of peoples in Rio de Janeiro is higher than the killing of peoples by the police in the whole USA. If they increase the participation of the armed forces the killing is going to increase and Brazil is going to become a war zone. The new government is planning to hit harder on the poor peoples which are going to increase poverty and more poor neighbourhoods
Orban predicted that there would be two civilizations in Europe: One “that builds its future on a mixed Islamic and Christian coexistence” and another in Central Europe that would be only Christian.
Rafael Solís accused Ortega of transforming the Central American country into “a state of terror” The Supreme Court judge – a longtime associate of the 73-year-old Sandinista – claimed peaceful protests had been repressed “with bloodshed and fire” and heavily armed paramilitaries unleashed to sow fear.
Solís called himself “an ex-Sandinista militant” and said he was resigning because Nicaragua had become a dictatorship resembling an absolute monarchy with two kings: Ortega and his powerful first lady and vice-president, Rosario Murillo.
He said, “I do not desire a civil war for Nicaragua but it’s clear to me this is the path you are going down.”
Solís was a Ortega confidant, part of Ortega’s inner circle and was reportedly best man at Ortega’s 2005 wedding to Murillo.
The capitalist press has not made any comments in regard to the 70,000 workers that are going in a strike in Matamoros, Mexico against the Maquiladoras owned by the big corporations. The leftwing groups who are supporting AMLO are silence too. Right-wing and Leftwing governments are wings of the same bird known as capitalism. The new government has formed a new national guard with the approval of the Mexican Congress with the pretext of combating violence and drug traffic but the same force can be used against the workers
Another coup d’etat or palace coup is taking place in Venezuela with the backing of the USA, and then, the Democrats accuse the Russians of intervention in the national elections. There are two presidents. Those are the so-called anti-Globalists. It looks like the border of the USA extends beyond the Mexican border, probably, the peoples from Latin America should be allowed to elect the presidents and members of the Congress of the USA
Venezuela’s opposition leader Juan Guaidó has declared himself the interim president. Guaidó was quickly recognised by the US, Canada, Brazil, Colombia and other US allies in the Americas.
US officials made clear that the White House would look at ways to transfer Venezuelan assets and oil revenues to Guaidó and the opposition-run national assembly.
The USA government has always needed a secretary ( or vassals ) to do their dirty work.
Another right wing populist has been elected in El Salvador. The same demagogy: To eliminate corruption and better state management
Palestinian descendant wins presidential election in El Salvador. Ex-member of the FLMN. Declared himself as a centrist, but he is pulling more to the right than to the left. Another rich man elected as a president

“Young people were marching through Warsaw, wrapped in red and white flags, singing the national anthem. They were lured into the streets by patriotism. They represent conservative values and vote for right-wing parties… the young generation’s shift to the right is neither a temporary trend nor an expression of protest. It represents a new self-image that has grown with the politics of recent years. Young Poles long for post-material values such as the church, tradition and security.”
Sadly, my generation of young socialists has died or vanished, giving birth to a new generation of young right wingers in some parts of the world. it does bother me when I see young peoples adopting that type of political stand , I always dreamed for a new society and I have never given up
Xenophobia drives German populism
A study has flipped the script on the well-worn story that mostly the poor, the uneducated, and the elderly vote for populists. Only one indicator matters: whether someone thinks immigration is bad for Germany.
Sociologist Martin Schröder blasted the widely held idea of the low-income, poorly-educated Alternative for Germany (AfD) voter was not at all representative of the truth. The fact is, wrote Schröder in the August 2018 study, that only one category truly unites the right wing: xenophobia.
“AfD supporters come from every level and part of society,” Schröder wrote. The one thing they all have in common, however, is “they don’t want refugees to migrate to Germany.”https://www.dw.com/en/who-votes-for-germanys-far-right-party-afd-not-who-youd-think/a-47793722
