El libro de memorias de Yanis Varoufakis sobre sus poco más de cinco meses como ministro de Finanzas griego, ‘Comportarse como adultos. Mi batalla contra el establishment europeo‘, (Deusto) es, probablemente, el libro del año. Y lo es por muchas razones: su narración de las maratonianas reuniones del Eurogrupo sobre la posible reestructuración de la deuda griega y los paquetes de ayuda constituye una mirada...

« Nous allons, en même temps que le possesseur d’argent et le possesseur de force de travail, quitter cette sphère bruyante où tout se passe à la surface et aux regards de tous, pour les suivre tous deux dans le laboratoire secret de la production, sur le seuil duquel il est écrit : no admittance except on business. »               – Marx, Le Capital Que l’homme que l’on a présenté comme un dangereux trublion...

We have white smoke! DiEM25’s members overwhelmingly approved the name of our new Greek electoral wing – the political party with which DiEM25 will contest elections in Greece, returning the spirit of the Greek Spring to the place of its birth. As with all major DiEM25 decisions, members voted from across Europe, confirming once again that another Europe is not just possible – but that it is here, within DiEM25!...

Syriza, a scrappy left-wing party, had stormed into office in Greece on a promise to challenge the consortium of...

[embedded content] For two years now, DiEM25 has been preserving the spirit of the Greek Spring of 2015 across Europe. Now, as we are preparing to present our progressive program to Europeans across the Union, via the ballot box, the time has come to found the Greek DiEM25 affiliate political party that will return the spirit of the Greek Spring to the country that gave birth to it.

Courtesy of opendemocracy.net, here is the transcript of my speech of 29th January at the House of Commons. The theme? How should Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party secure a progressive Brexit consistent with a socialist agenda for the UK but also with DiEM25’s campaign to democratise Europe. The main reason I am here, I believe – I’m going to add back into Chuka’s account a few wrinkles that he omitted out of...

Δύο δυνάμεις δυναμιτίζουν τις κοινωνίες μας –από την Κρήτη στο Δουβλίνο, από τη Λισαβόνα στη Λετονία, στο Παρίσι, στο Βερολίνο, παντού– εκτρέφοντας πολιτικά τέρατα με τον θυμό και την απογοήτευση που παράγουν: Το Κατεστημένο της Ρευστοποίησης, το οποίο επενδύει στην κρίση της οικονομίας και της δημοκρατίας για να «ρευστοποιήσει» τη μισθωτή εργασία και τους εν γένει αδύναμους πολίτες και επιχειρηματίες όπου και...

“Europa es exactamente lo opuesto a democracia”, asegura el ex ministro griego de Finanzas y cofundador de DIEM25, que ajusta cuentas con los protagonistas de la crisis del euro en  “Comportarse como adultos“ “El Gobierno español actuó firmemente en Bruselas contra los intereses de la inmensa mayoría de los españoles” “El bitcoin es una espléndida burbuja y nunca podrá operar provechosamente como moneda” El ex...
