Progressive International: Yanis Varoufakis & Bernie Sanders Launch New Global Mvt Against Far Right
by mail@democracynow.org (Democracy Now!) from Democracy Now! on (#44H5G)
The far right is rising in Europe, most recently in Spain, where the anti-immigrant, anti-abortion Vox party won multiple seats in a regional parliamentary election in Andalusia on Sunday. It was the first successful election for the far right in Spain since the country returned to democracy in the 1970s after the death of fascist military dictator Francisco Franco. We speak with economist and former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis, who is launching a movement with Senator Bernie Sanders and others to fight right-wing forces around the globe.
