From January 25, the government has been giving an unprecedented
political struggle. A struggle towards the country’s final exit from the
dead-end of the memoranda; a struggle to alleviate the burden of those
fighting to survive after the policies implemented during the last 5
years; to restart the economy on a path of viable and socially just
development; for the termination of the vicious circle of dept and
austerity. A struggle for hope, not only for Greece but for the whole of
Europe.

article in 'Le Monde' <http://links.org.au/node/4450>
By *Alexis Tsipras*, prime minister of Greece
May 31, 2015 -- On 25th of last January, the Greek people made a
courageous decision. They dared to challenge the one-way street of the
Memorandum’s tough austerity, and to seek a new agreement. A new
agreement that will keep the country in the euro, with a viable economic
program, without the mistakes of the past.

campaign <http://links.org.au/node/4448>
By *Dave Holmes*
May 25, 2015 -- The June 7 elections to Turkey’s Grand National Assembly
are shaping up to be the most important in a long time. The bold

dispute: US butt out! <http://links.org.au/node/4446>
By *Partido Lakas ng Masa* international desk

May 28, 2015 -- Partido Lakas ng Masa (PLM, Party of the Laboring
Masses), posted at /Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal/ --
Given the renewed sabre rattling and war cries between the US and China,
over the West Philippine Sea and disputed territories, we call on the
Philippine government to immediately open bilateral talks with China in
order to ease tensions. While we condemn China's aggressive bullying
tactics, we firmly believe that the government must take immediate steps
towards a negotiated political settlement to this long-running dispute.

strategy and tactics within the international left. It is a forum for
open and constructive dialogue between active socialists coming from
different political traditions. It seeks to bring together those in the
international left who are opposed to neoliberal economic and social
policies. It aims to promote the renewal of the socialist movement in
the wake of the collapse of the bureaucratic model of "actually existing
socialism" in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
