The leaders of Germany's Left Party, Janine Wissler and Martin Schirdewan, have announced their decision to step down following a string of electoral defeats and growing criticism surrounding the party. The pair said on the party's website that they will not stand as candidates at the party conference in Halle in October. They have led the Left Party together since 2022. Schirdewan called on party members to support their successor, in the hopes that they can bring a breath of fresh air to the party given upcoming state elections in Thuringia, Saxony and Brandenburg in September. Consecutive d...

Washington (AFP) - The United States, Britain and Canada unveiled sweeping sanctions against Belarus on Friday to mark the fourth anniversary of a contested presidential election that returned strongman President Alexander Lukashenko to power. Moscow-ally Lukashenko crushed mass pro-democracy protests after an election on August 9, 2020, in which the government was widely condemned for allegedly falsifying results. The US Treasury Department said it had sanctioned 19 people, 14 companies and an airplane for evading existing sanctions and for supporting Russia's war efforts in Ukraine. "The r...

What's happening in Venezuela? Following Venezuela's presidential election a week and a half ago, President Nicolás Maduro's camp—which the opposition says was squarely defeated, a fact backed up by substantial documentation—has yet to release the results it promised to prove its claimed "victory." "At CNN's request, several experts analyzed the results offered by both the government-aligned National Electoral Council of Venezuela (CNE) and the opposition platform Comando Con Venezuela," reports the outlet. "The experts conclude that the numbers that appear to portray Maduro as the winner are ...

Now that it seems like every single national election cycle in this country is suffused with accusations of fraud and malfeasance, it's worth looking to a country experiencing an actual stolen election to provide some sense of clarity. Venezuelans went to the polls on Sunday, July 28. The incumbent president, Nicolás Maduro, stood for a third consecutive six-year term against Edmundo González, the country's former ambassador to Argentina. Early the following day, the government announced that with 80 percent of votes counted, Maduro had prevailed with 51.2 percent of the vote to González's 44....

France's snap legislative elections on 30 June and 7 July attracted global attention, as many observers anxiously feared that the ascendant far-right party, National Rally, would achieve a majority in the French legislature — an occurrence without precedent in post-World War II France. National Rally (RN) ended up underperforming in polls, and a hastily-formed coalition of leftist parties allied with President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist party to secure a parliamentary majority. Yet despite the less-than-earth-shattering outcome, it was a historic election for another, less publicised reason. W...

런던에 기반을 둔 싱크탱크에 따르면, 미국 대통령의 민주당 유력 후보인 카말라 해리스가 디지털 자산에 대해 "화해적인 접근"을 취할 수 있으며, 이는 치열한 선거에서 중요한 차이를 만들 수 있다고 합니다. 8월 1일 발표된 보고서에서 국제 금융 통화 기구 포럼(OMFIF)은 카말라 해리스 부통령이 공화당 후보 도널드 트럼프에게 암호화폐를 양보할 여유가 없다고 말했습니다. 이 싱크탱크는 민주당 유력 후보가 암호화 자산에 대한 자신의 의제를 제시할 것을 권장하는 듯하며, 이를 통해 유권자들 사이에서 얻는 잠재적 이익이 손실을 훨씬 초과할 것이라고 제안했습니다. OMFIF는 “해리스가 다가오는 민주당 전당대회를 기회로 삼아 암호화폐 산업에 대해 화해적인 접근을 채택하고, 이를 불법 금융과 투자 사기의 피난처 이상의 것으로 다루며, 암호화폐 규제 법안에 지지를 약속한다면, 트럼프가 모으고 있는 산업 지원을 잠식하는 데 큰 도움이 될 것”이라고 말했습니다. “공화당이 이미 이를 지지하고 있는 상황에서, 민주당이 암호화폐 산업의 성장을 지지한다고 해서 민주당을 떠나는 사람은 거의 없을 것입니다.” 이 싱크탱크는 덧붙여: "[...] 암호화폐 지지자들과 기부자들로부터 일...

According to a London-based think tank, the presumptive Democratic nominee for US President, Kamala Harris, could take a “conciliatory approach” to digital assets, which might make the difference in a close election. In an Aug. 1 publication, the Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum (OMFIF) said Vice President Harris “cannot afford to cede crypto” to Republican nominee Donald Trump. The think tank seemed to encourage the presumptive Democratic nominee to “lay out her own agenda for cryptoassets,” suggesting the potential benefits among voters would far outweigh any losses. “If Ha...

The government-controlled electoral authority has declared Nicolás Maduro the winner of Venezuela's presidential election, securing his third consecutive six-year term. But the opposition is crying foul, contending that the authoritarian socialist did not, in fact, receive the most votes. With 80 percent of the ballots counted, the National Electoral Council (CNE) announced on Monday that Maduro had won 51 percent of the vote while opposition candidate Edmundo González, of the Democratic Unitary Platform, garnered 44 percent. In his victory speech, Maduro described the results as "a triumph of...
