17 Kasım günü, AKP’li 6 milletvekilinin hazırlamış olduğu “cinsel istismar” yasa önerisi bu sabah komisyona geri çekilmiş olsa da, gündeme geldiği günden bu yana kadınların tepkisiyle karşı karşıya kalan bu önerinin biz kadınlar için ne demek olduğunu anlamakta fayda var. Hazırlanan öneri ile cinsel ilişkiye rıza yaşını 15’ten 12’ye indirip, sürmekte olan ceza davalarındaki failler ve bundan sonra gerçekleşecek tacizlerin-tecavüzlerin faillerinin, “çocuğun rızası vardır” diyerek cezadan kurtulmasının; cinsel suçların aklanmasının; tacizcilerin ve tecavüzcülerin istismar ettikleri çocuklarla evlendikleri takdirde affedilmesinin; kız çocuklarının 12 yaşından itibaren tacize ve tecavüze maruz bırakılmasının ve çocuk gelinlerin varlığına yasal kılıf uydurulmasının zemini hazırlanmak istenmişti. Henüz bu sabah yasa önerisinin geri çekilmesi ise bir yandan biz kadınların direnerek özgürleşebileceğine dair en somut örneklerden oldu, bir yandan da devletin oyalamacı politikalarının göstergesi.

There is currently a military coup in Turkey. It is not certain what the outcome will be, but tanks are on the streets, soldiers have taken over state television, airports are shut down, and gunfire and explosions have been heard in Istanbul and Turkey. It is clear that a substantial section of the military has taken action against the government and is in control of parts of the country. At this moment there are reports of soldiers killing protesters. Given the historic weakness of the Turkish military as a political power relative to the eras in which it carried out previous coups, there is a strong chance that the government will prevail.

Δυόμιση χρόνια μετά την κατάθεση του πανελλαδικού καλέσματος για την προοπτική δημιουργίας Αναρχικής Πολιτικής Οργάνωσης από τέσσερις αναρχικές συλλογικότητες της Αθήνας («Κύκλος της Φωτιάς», «Στέκι Αντίπνοια», «Καθοδόν», «Αναρχικοί για την Κοινωνική Απελευθέρωση»), οι διαδικασίες του προσυνεδριακού διαλόγου ολοκληρώθηκαν.

Το αρχικό κάλεσμα πλαισίωσαν μια σειρά από συλλογικότητες που ανταποκρίθηκαν και οι οποίες δεσμεύτηκαν επί ενός πολιτικού πλαισίου όπως αυτό αποτυπώθηκε σε επτά βασικά σημεία.

Syriza’s rise to power elicited widespread praise from the left internationally, inspiring renewed enthusiasm for the possibilities and promise of “mass left” party building in and outside the United States. At a rally celebrating Syriza’s electoral victory in Spain, Pablo Iglesias, secretary general of the Spanish anti-austerity party Podemos, declared that “the sun of hope rose over Greece.”

Yet “the sun of hope” began to set on Greece almost as quickly as it rose. Shortly after taking office, Syriza, the “Coalition of the Radical Left,” formed a coalition government with the right-wing, anti-immigrant Independent Greeks (ANEL) party, followed only months later by the predictable surrender of the government to a new round of harsh austerity imposed by Greece’s creditors.
