A significant win against multinational cartels in European market

The proposition of European Commission for the monopoly of multinationals on the seeds market was rejected by the EU parliament Yesterday, the European parliament has voted for the amendment submitted by the independent MEP Kriton Arsenis, for the rejection of the European Commission proposal to impose monopoly conditions for multinationals in the European seeds market through a legislation.

Who is the "godmother"?

The Greek journalist, Stelios Kouloglou, reveals some interesting information about his recent documentary concerning Angela Merkel's life and political rise and action.

End of an era for the West

The support of neo-nazis in Ukraine destroys the last pretexts and wakes up nightmares of the past by system failure It appears that, for at least six years now, the West is trapped in a situation of permanent recession, while there are many who predict new economic crises in the near future. As long as this situation continues, the true face of neoliberalism and the huge hypocrisy of the West become more and more clear.

Troika and especially IMF are seeking to force the Greek government to vote for the whole neoliberal agenda concerning labor rights. Some dialogues between IMF and government officials are indicative of the pressure and persistence of IMF, especially concerning mass layoffs. IMF seeks to change monthly layoffs limits and will start by abolishing the authority of ministers to approve mass layoffs. Indicatively, the agenda contains, among other things, unlimited number of layoffs for businesses with working stuff above 300, considering some special criteria for each sector and

Official: Greece is the new "laboratory" of neoliberalism

" Martin [Schulz] will also tell us tomorrow that he is particularly interested on Greece, for the course of co-operation, because he knows that Greece is the real laboratory of the European crisis and the European future. Here, nearly everything is determined for the future and the reliability of Europe.

As the forces of the Left, as well as eurosceptics, appear that they have significantly strengthened in Greece and Europe, the systemic establishment promotes various political formations, like "Elia", "Potami" and the already failed "Movem
