Argentina's Fascist Police Crack Down on Protests

[On Friday] a large number of Argentine citizens, including retirees, workers, students, political and civic activists, etc protested against the neo-liberal policies of the country's right-wing President Javier Milei, in front of Congress in the capital.
[…]
Protesters gathered in front of Congress as far-right President Javier Milei was in Congress. Just two months after taking office, Miley has implemented many of the orders of global neo-liberalism, including de-contracting labor, lowering wages, cracking down on unions, shrinking the government and so on, or is planning to implement them.

[On Friday], police first attacked the pensioners and beat and injured some of them on the sidewalk near Congress. Then the flames of the anger of the subjugated spread, and the youth, students and workers who had taken to the streets by organizing large trade unions stood up to the police and clashed with mercenaries.
Police fired pellets and tear gas and wounded many people, including journalists. According to Argentine activists, police deliberately targeted reporters and brutally abducted them. According to the same reports, many protesters have been injured and arrested.

Two photos from the Free Trade Union of Iran's post about Argentina's police's brutal repression of protests on Friday (see previous toot):

Police nabbed a graffiti artist attempting to flee the scene of committing this (picture) adorable art in the harbor of Visby, Gotland, the large island just outside southeastern mainland Sweden.
The 27-year-old was prosecuted for vandalism, with the prosecutor demanding a fine.

Police's interrogation records said e.g. that "His intention is to offer free art to passersby." and... the District Court of Gotland... agreed.

The court's ruling states that no harm has been proven and that the artist "on a gray and cracked concrete façade which is the short end of a loading dock, has depicted a lamb.", that "The way in which X has illustrated the lamb testifies to an artistic work carried out with a certain amount of artistic and technical skill." then finally "According to the District Court's opinion, the beauty value of the cracked concrete façade - in purely objective terms - has increased through X's painting." so the 27-year old artist was acquitted by the court, which also ruled that the police had must return the spray cans they had confiscated.

Damn hippies. ;-D

Recently it was the hottest on earth with 50.5°C in Zabol, Iran-held part of Balochistan.
At the same time, a sandstorm buried peoples' houses under sand and cut off access to water.

The government's response: ...
Worldwide news-media reports: ...

The Iran-regime is systematically racist against the Baloch people through clear selective neglect of essential infrastructure, education, disaster responses, etc, etc, just as the Pakistan- and Afghanistan-regimes have been and remain over the areas of Balochistan they hold and as England's empire before them.
Worldwide news-media hates anyone oppressed under the Iran-regime, because they don't bother to look past the word "Iran" so equates the oppressed with the oppressor.

Might be one of the most France things ever. :-D

Luis from Italy went to rate croissants, during the people's ongoing defence against the police rioting for capitalism-extremist Macron's dictatorialism.
I made like a trailer-thingie with hardcoded subtitles for you...

Here's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wp84sRpM1Js the full 6:40 minutes video.

"French gendarmes and CRS riot police stand in position in front of the Constitutional Council (Conseil Constitutionnel) during a demonstration as part of the 12th day of nationwide strikes and protests against French government's pension reform, in Paris, France, April 13, 2023."

So, France's Constitutional Court approved capitalism-extremist Macron's dictatorial pushing through legislation deteriorating pensions over the people of France without allowing a vote of Parliament.
Well, no shit. It is "constitutional", just that the "constitution" that once inspired e.g. the constitution of USA actually does allow for dictatorialism.
That was never the question.

Paradoxically, crypto-fascist Marine Le Pen announces they will file a motion of no-confidence in (to depose) the Macron government.

As usual with authoritarians, "it's only okay when w̲e̲ do it" is a core principle.

Authoritarian-Capitalist Macron's government forces through the immensely unpopular pensions deterioration by simply ignoring parliament entirely and decreeing it law using article 49 paragraph 3 of France's constitution.
The only way to reject this de facto dictatorial act now is for Parliament to depose the government.

Also the leftist/far-left democratic socialist "France Unbowed" (La France Insoumise) say they will call for a vote of no-confidence in the authoritarian-capitalist Macron-government over the dictatorial forcing of pensions deterioration by disregarding parliament.

I saw this video an then wondered why there was someone in my apartment applauding... it was me. :-D

Some scenes of the people's defence against the Macron-government's dictatorial act yesterday as well as the police's violent support for that act, in Dijon, Lille, Lyon, Montpellier, Rennes and Toulouse:

Paris police rioted against the people for defending parliamentarism and the people of Bordeaux and Marseille joined in the defence.

I merged two videos from AFP.

Also, a video from the storming of the HQ of the Paris stock exchange today.
