(2 May 2022) Editor: “Putin’s imperial delusions”: in the West, experts, journalists and politicians are unanimous when it comes to the causes of the conflict in Ukraine.

(14 April 2022) Mexico's President López Obrador is fighting back against a resolution passed by the EU Parliament on 10 March 2022 condemning Mexico for alleged violations of press freedom and journalists’ rights. Obrador had criticised the corporate media that systematically work against the socially committed government. These corporations are owned by influential oligarchs. Some mainstream media in the country published demonstrably fake news aimed at bringing down the government’s reform projects.
