Thousands of workers took to the streets of Brussels to protest the planned closure of an Audi production site, highlighting broader concerns over the EU’s failed industrial strategy.
Volkswagen, Audi’s parent company, recently announced plans to scale down operations in Europe. This includes backing out of existing social contracts, which undermines job security across the automotive sector. Despite the intention to reduce the number of jobs and employment security, Volkswagen paid out record dividends in 2023—totaling 12 billion euros—according to a statement by the Workers Party of Belgium (PTB-PVDA).

#PeoplesHistory | 🇨🇱🎼Today, we remember Victor Jara, a musician, artist, and an active member of the Communist Party of Chile. He was a pioneer in the Latin American cultural movement "New Song" and put into practice the idea that art and progressive politics should converge to strengthen people's resistance.
Immediately after the coup d'etat against socialist president Salvador Allende on September 11, 1973, military forces captured, tortured, and killed Jara. Many survivors of the military dictatorship who were captured alongside him have stated that Jara sang to keep up the spirits of his comrades during detention. According to reports, military officers broke his hands, tortured him, and then incited him to keep singing. This was right before he was summarily executed on September 16, 1973.
To this day, Jara's resistance remains an inspiration for people's movements across the world.
