Thailand!' <http://links.org.au/node/4178>
Joint statement by the *Socialist Party of Malaysia* and others (see below)
December 1, 2014 -- We, the undersigned organisations, condemn the
Najib-led Malaysian government for receiving the official visit of
military coup leader from Thailand, Prayuth Chan-ocha. The reception for
Prayuth is an act that recognises and lends legitimacy to the illegal
government in Thailand that grabbed power through a military coup and
the suppression of democracy since May this year.

Dan La Botz: 'We are all Ayotzniapa!' Mexico crisis deepens
<http://links.org.au/node/4176>
By *Dan La Botz*
November 29, 2014 -- The Mexican government confronts a major political
crisis on two fronts. The first is as a result of the massacre and
kidnapping that took place on September 26 when police and other
assailants in Ayotzinapa, Guerrero killed six, wounded 25 and kidnapped
43 students. Since the massacre and kidnapping, there have been
demonstrations in Guerrero, Mexico City and several other states, some
of them massive and some violent. Mexicans are appalled at the abduction
of these young people and indignant at both the involvement of local
officials and police and the national government's failure to deal with
the issue.

with popular movements <http://links.org.au/node/4172>
By *Judith Marshall*
November 21, 2014 -- I have recently returned from three fascinating
days in Rome where I participated in a World Meeting of Popular
Movements. This event brought to the Vatican a throng of articulate
delegates from among the poor and excluded of the 21st Century, people
fighting for land, for housing, for work and for dignity. Pope Francis
was a central force in creating this gathering in Rome. Our meeting with
him in the Old Synod Hall of the Basilica was a high point.

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.
