58 years ago the Mirabal sisters were assassinated by the genocidal dictatorship of General Trujillo in Dominican Republic. Patria, Minerva and Maria Teresa were kidnapped, tortured and killed for rebelling against a genocidal state and seeking to break the standard role assigned to women. In their memory, 25 November has been established as an international day of struggle against violence against women where we will take to the streets to shout #NiUnaMenos, we want us alive, against all forms of gender violence, stop discriminating against women in salaries and for legal, safe and free abortion.

The mid-term elections in the US represented a political blow to the reactionary Trump. government. The Republicans lost the majority in the House, where the Democrats channelled the anger against Trump. It was a punishment vote of social sectors against his hated, machist, misogynist and racist outbursts when the region is in crisis due to the migrant caravan. The government is weakened and the American imperialist domination crisis deepens, in an international context of inter-bourgeois frictions with China and the European Union, while capitalism cannot overcome the world economic crisis.
