India: Eyewitness account, images of Kolkata's huge movement for
gender justice <http://links.org.au/node/4086>
Story by *Kasturi*, photos by *Ronny Sen*
September 24, 2014 -- One of the slogans churned out of the womb of
turbulent Paris in the May days of 1968 was "Don't trust anyone over
30". The student uprising of May '68 with its audacity and exaggeration
might have failed. But the /mahamichhil/ (grand rally) called by
students which took command over the heart and pulse of Kolkata on
September 20 was a literal, vivid, living embodiment of this slogan.

the sun.

Bulgaria: Wealthy EU governments target 'freedom of movement' for
poor workers <http://links.org.au/node/4083>
By *Raya Apostolova*
September 30, 2014 --The election in Bulgaria scheduled to take place on
October 5, 2014, comes in the midst of a deep political crisis and
social disarray. Bulgaria's right-oriented vote in the past two decades
has resulted in non-existent public services and social destabilisation.
Thousands of Bulgarian workers journey to Germany's slaughter houses or
Poland's agricultural fields as they cannot secure employment in
Bulgaria. The unfolding enmity towards the working poor on a European
scale, as expressed in the openly declared battle against migrant labour
from eastern Europe, may cost Bulgaria's shaky social peace. Bulgaria
needs to immediately address social inequalities.

Links seeks to promote the international exchange of information,
experience of struggle, theoretical analysis and views of political
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.
