to be held next month in august, but not gonna emphasize the importance of maintaining zimbabwe sobriety, and ensuring a fair electro process for you from external influence. president went on god was cited. the story go attends by wisdom, countries to impose the agenda appointment, developing nations, emphasizing the need for respect and understanding. while wisdom countries denied an interference sentence remain high, as in bob wins. fear repeats of possibility to go into vincent's speaking during the commissioning of the $153000000.00 chinese built international airport. the president of zimbabwe is wanting, serves as a reminder of zimbabwe. his determination to conduct transparent elections ensuring that the will of the people prevails. keep baptist for archie, not a, as in bob we or we got some more reaction to this from zimbabwe. and political level is, could zine more to see who believes the sanctions against the country essentially

hums. an advantage to the opposite or in the fit into somebody's elections is a view issue. in fact, a surprise that the president was talking about investigating now is if it is not happening, this is actually an ongoing issue. they, it's, you mentioned the issue of economic fashions, the section of august, the 5th at the opposition and that of goodness, the government. so that's the, that's already is in the field is in itself and the present. now it certainly is mentioning, or he's refitting to say that it just, it is especially during the selection susan, we usually see them issue out statements continue. the government sometimes also say use it or any other smart issue that could otherwise they, they seem to be issue august admit, it's going to continue the government. this is part of the, in the feeling that he's talking about. but another issue is finding the opposition

. you're going to see that as we approach the elections this with the countries we try to fucking money. so what's the opposition in the campaigns keeping attention on africa, assuming 25 percent hiking. petra prices is driving toxeme drivers to destruction in the democratic republic of the congo. they're not fearing for their livelihood. it is the 2nd half the increase. it's excuse me, the republic tough congress, i should say. as the 2nd half the increase this year on comes as part of financial reforms needed to keep the country in line with the terms, said i, by the international monetary fund. take a look at this of the most and use it really doesn't suit us because with the bosses,

we don't know what we're going to do with the customers except an increasing cap fast. we don't even know. so it's really complicated for us. it's really hard. the most i do notice, 1st of all, it was an accurate increase. since the 1st increase, the government had taken the time to discuss distribution with unions and we agreed on the company measures and is what you will see that we have just moved onto a secondary because when the company matters are not in line with each other. so when you get it's going to have a negative impact on our countries already shaky economy. because decisions of this magnitude on our part should be matured and treated before hands with unions to see

what approach to take on the right. that is our phone. use our but next we continue our series of interviews with influential figures, from talking about discover who steve sweeney is sitting down with today. in moments. nicholas the so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even foundation, let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic. the only personally i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very unclear to get a time time to sit down and talk hi, i'm rick sanchez. and i'm here to plan with you whatever you do. do not watch my new

show. seriously. why watch something that's so different little opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to please, or do the have the state department to see i a weapons makers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead. i changed and whatever you do, don't want my show state main street because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called stretching time, but again, we don't wanna watch it because it might just change the way inside the just days before the launch of the special ministry operation, the communist party issued a code for united anti fascist from against the nato led notification of ukraine, can you explain why the policy issued subject code them?

what kind of response you got? my purse or some we did. another impression on the question about what's happening in dumbass cannot be limited to the scope of the military operation that was launched in february 2022. or this question is about what has been happening here. and what calls have been made here for the past 9 years since 2014 the left wing forces and the communist party above all have been vocal about the events that have shaken the entire world. and i'm not afraid to say it here. couple of the redistribution of power in the world began in 2014 in dumbass, what i'm not going back to far in history. and so i'm not talking about 1991 or 1917. those are distant events. but 2014 marks a new era in the history of humanity, no more and no less. so when the communist party of the russian federation or any other communist party makes a statement about the events here,

we don't consider it anything new is just the right thing to do. by 2022 before the special military operation began on bass became a place filled with the most extreme. and you could say aggressive forces of global imperialism. and capitalism are represented by ukrainian nationalism and fascism both. and it is certainly the place of the communist party to call for putting an end to fascism on our soil as especially since our land and people know i'm old to well what fascism is and how to fight it too much. so i believe that the coal made by the communist party in 2022 prior to the special military operation, was a normal reaction and response of any party in this historical context. and even more so of the communist party. and we had to put an end to fascism. the special

ministry operation has exposed some divisions within the communist move and internationally. so the greek communist party, for example, characterizes the crating conflict as a war between the 2 and pay with his powers. and the company's policy of britain has gone to great lengths to oppose what it describes as pollutants more. how do you respond to that and how does the communist party of the russian federation see the special minute to operation roughly? i mean, yeah. can we see just the spot of the divisions within the comment is the movement are certainly nothing new to us. we are aware of the view point supported by the communists of greece eastern. i'd like to give a historical example before and during world war one, both the communist movement of that time and the social democratic movement were

quite divided on how the social democratic forces should act and during the re distribution of power in the world. the world war one was about to read distribution of power. so there were also questions asked during world war 2. we know that in most countries of the world, clement is stuart against fascism. and by that time the ussr was already quite powerful. and the communist international already existed and was big and the old new, their goal was to fight to fashion them. today some communist parties believe that under the current circumstances as they see it, the ongoing war is between major capital as powers. and so the communists should not interfere more, but what we see in reality is that communists are no longer defining politics in many countries of the world. so it is one thing when some of them might think they shouldn't interfere. but when we find ourselves right in the stick of this fight,

that gives us an entirely different perspective. i believe that we're fighting fascism today when you hear me fascism being the most advanced and most deadly, if you will, weapon of the financial oligarchy. so i'm your dimitra, rose, gave an excellent definition of fascism back in 1933 at the leipzig fire trial. so we understand that we must fight fascism. what comes next and we'll figure it out for each of our states internally. but today we need to liberate the world from fascism. i don't know how so, while greeks are entitled to their opinion, we have ours. how then uh, recently hosted an international summit of communist parties and the communists of the former soviet union were represented there by po to assume one echo the 1st secretary of the communist party of ukraine. he represented the communist party yourself all post soviet states 1st. and as far as i recall,

36 communist parties supported our position and said that we are on the right track . and they support our fight against fascism. the young people were moving in britain because organized rallies and protests around the slogan, russian, troops outs. but what would that mean in reality for the people of don't boss, particularly when thousands of ukrainian soldiers economy gathered on the border for a counter offensive, national massage, or leading commercial southern data to our deepest or grants of the old, the western propaganda, including broadcast and prints medium are providing a one sided account of the events in don't bass, couple of it, but i often get to meet international reporters here and, and other places. and they all tell me that news coverage in britain, america and europe is one sided. they give a one sided account of events, see poor 10 innovated ukraine. he sent troops to crane he occupied ukraine. show

that is their only narrative. and i understand why different movements, including the one in britain that you mentioned do what they do. they consume this one sided narrative and they say things based on what they see and tear on radio and television every day. pardon, you are more than that. they also say things that they have been asked to say. and i would like to give another example of the opposite kind of back in 2014, when we started our resistance. so many people came here from all over the world, from america, britain, israel and columbia, germany, spain, and many other countries. they came here to fight fascism should be one of those were mostly left wing activists who saw our fight almost as a socialist revolution. we are many of them have stayed until today. and i've seen the other side of the us. but i'm pretty sure trade unions are victims of western

propaganda. and certainly, no one is going to withdraw our troops from our territory, just because some trade unions or some other forces in britain and have called for a to me who is just a picture of what they are making pictures, which we've been here for a 2 years and there haven't been any russian troops here, but only volunteers, our coal miners, steel plant, and construction workers, teachers. everyone who rose up to fight. and we have been fighting for h years. yeah, there is nowhere for us to go. this is our land. we live here, they came to us slash and not the other way around. when they tell me that ukraine, this ukraine, that i say as an ukraine is the land you live on. and the people who come to our land, we come to take our home away from us in here. but with many times we've heard ukrainian

politicians say things like us and we've got to surround on bass with barbed wire. or you've got to throw a nuclear bomb on bass, or let's put them all in concentration camps. the most charitable suggestion is to send them all the way to russia. let's send us away from our own land, from my home, where my sisters are buried here, and we know we are going to stay. this is our land that this land belongs to the russian people into the many nationalities that live here. here we will stand until victorious. no one is leaving the company. this policy has fighters on the front line. at the moment, i'm. could you explain how that is organized and why the policy made the decision to take part in active combat? can we use the just got part of 2 companies to come with the communist party and communist figures. we're the ones who found in this country. i am proud to have

been entrusted this a story commission and trusted by my comrades who created this country. but they instructed me to carry out the will of the people of dumbass. i am the author of the act and the declaration of independence of the don't ask people's republic who might oversaw the referendum in 2014 and held many different public and civil service positions here. i was never alone in that typically alongside me stood other communist small people of left wing convictions for the basically anyone who wanted to get rid of sashes or some annoying. so when people say we've organized the military service for our comrades were sent them out to fight, that is not true. we didn't organize anything. they were following their hearts. it is what they wanted to do. they saw it as their sacred duty to go out and defend their homeland. yes, there are many communists fighting in the armed forces. unfortunately,

some have died 2 years after the start of the military operations, many members of russia's communist party joined our ranks to. they are our heroes among them. and there are service men who are into metals and military decorations . this is our sacred duty. you may recall that in the great patriotic war that there was the slogan that went to the communists. ford no, and it still holds true today when there are fascists on your doorstep. and when you call me this will always be the 1st line of defense. it is our sacred duty our duty as communist. so our class duty and our rights to be at the forefront in ukraine, the communist party has been fund is buildings and assets have been turned over to the state. there is widespread oppression of communist, including the can only which brothers also have other political policies. what does

this say about the state of democracy in ukraine? can i tell you have a mutual what democracy is there to speak of? there is no democracy all the more. so when you crane always sees a tell a terry and regime system run by america and nato ukrainian regime has no. what telling them you know, independence and the greatest threats to this regime is the communist party. wherever communist ideas take hold and gain popularity with the masses. there can be no fascism or do in the fashion and their leaders are report rather the ones pulling the strings. let's call them over. seers murphy understand that they need to destroy the communist ideology. then replace it with liberalism. and under liberalism, they will have free reign. it'll go into the anglo saxon world with all due respect to the british. people has a very good idea of how to hammer in liberal ideology into the heads of the people

. they are exceedingly good at it. but we the people of dumbass and the former soviet union, and in fact, many ukrainians to hold collectivist ideals. we are collective as in spirit. russia has been around for a 1000 years and we are still fighting for our existence for our survival. out of these thousands years, 700 were spent in wars. only together can we survive? that is why we have collectivism. and in our hearts from see our minds and our ideas, our enemies want to destroy the communist ideology so that they can easily break us up. we will not allow that to happen about having him don't yet. how was it like to be a communist? have you suffered any refresh these measures as a policy here? um have you come under attack by fall, right? forces or other other forces perhaps from a show that there is a clue,

but i'm we are now preparing for the election. so we're going to have a banner up in the city that says proud to be a communist or communist as a proud title. come on. yes, we are proud to be communists. to continue with the glorious tradition of a great country. it is a matter of pride as for whether it's scary or dangerous to be communist here, look, everywhere in the world is dangerous these days last night there was a needle summit in vilnius a few days ago, where they discussed what weapons to send to ukraine, rather they probably realize that in response to their arms deliveries more weapons will be used by the other side. is that scary? i guess it is. but if the cause is just, then it is our duty and where there is duty, there is no place for fear. have we ever suffered any right wing repression?

no, there are no right wing forces here. no right wing groups in dumbass. so no right wing repression, but i would say, well i guess you could argue about what the right wing is, what they stand for. one things for sure. there are no far right groups out here. yes, there are people that don't cheer common, just views. who would rather call themselves capitalists. we have debates with them all the time. they don't like our ideologies, but it's a political kind of struggle. what have we ever been subjected to any other type of pressure? well, by and the large answer is no part from the 5 attempts on my life, and on the lives of my comrades likes to come to know each brothers. there is, was a well known case. what that happens on the other side, or we can ukraine. ask for don bass. we have a normal political struggle here teaches perhaps a bit on the edge, sometimes so to speak. but it is not that bad. it's tolerable. following the

precaution failed mutiny western governments on western media. we're almost done inviting with vol. no, all of a sudden becoming freedom fighters. but they also claim that a lot of made polluting have been weakened by this spot. he's united opposition policies is united. the communist chickens and some would argue that he's actually come out of this strong go. what do you make of it? uh, plus. uh no, no, i don't really think we're if this is a highly complex issue which has yet to be processed and why our society at large, there are different opinions on the one hand. if we don't to over analyze it, the what wagner did on june 24th of their march on moscow is something i just don't support what they had done before. however, there war on fascism and their liberation of solid art. and our 10 most is

something that i applaud. on the other hand, what we know today is that pollution met with wagner members. several days ago, he spoke with them for a long time. they're meeting less than 3 hours. they haven't released any information on what exactly it was discussed, but probably from that's what i'd like to think at least if you need to find their role. wagner group is a large combat unit to do it for fills its mission and rush them like if any other state or the world has a variety of interests around the world. if they feel filled their mission of protecting rushes, interests in other parts of the world, that's their job and their choice more than that. so you can have different attitudes to the situation. they do have support morale. and from a military standpoint, they are a world class fighting machine, but it is up to president clinton to decide what they should do next to of course

i've said everything i have to say on the subject, and i'm not a military man myself. i mean, i can be the ultimate authority on their actions. trade unions in britain, all lobbying for increased almost production that it will be in for more weapons to be sent to ukraine. yeah, they insist they are supporting a trade unionist and ukraine. but those very same weapons of being used to coworkers and trade unionists in don't boss. and what do you say to them and all trade unionist them workers in don't boss, really supporting the ukrainian worth it for us to use it moves that mentioned earlier trade unions. we began this interview with a similar question. first trade unions in britain are being brainwashed by the media, including british media. i mean, but i also think they have a stake in this as well. do more of a war requires massive spending to make guns,

shells, missiles, bombs, and so on. for this means ramping up production and capital investment, which is good for trade unions. this means jobs wages and apparently from their point of view, better living conditions for workers. i'm a war can be a way for people to make money. and the last 4 ukranian trade unions, i am not aware of their regressive stance or calls to fight against our territories . but i would advise that some british trade unions should know their own history. then back in the 19 twenty's trade unions across europe, including britain, came out and demanded hands off the soviet really hands off russia. there were huge rallies squared and they realized that in russia. yeah, they are working class, the brothers were fighting fascism store. if british trade unions have forgotten

what fascism is and britain was one of its victims in the past. well then let god be their judge as they say you have. but i am calling out to cranium and british trade unions here. comrades let us fight fascism together. fascism has no place on this planet. you are beginning to devour each other inside europe, which is no longer europe, but something crushed under americas. here we for true. britain quietly left through brag center. but the u. s. just still putting pressure on every one to me. so if you want to be independent, sovereign states, then stop arming ukraine, then it will all be over quickly. and you will have peace and work, and trade and the foundation for all of us to develop our peaceful relations further. this is what trade unions must understand. we celebrated the 1st of may

a couple of months ago with a photo exhibition here on linden square, where we displayed photos from people in new york, london, and paris, dublin television, jerusalem and many other places. and i have them all on the desk over there. and they were saying no to war, no to fascism. and yes, to the don't ask people's republic. on the one hand, they're against rochelle separately, but on the other. people support our cause. but these are thinking people who understand what we're fighting for and against. and we should all stand together. we are brothers in class. and our class. is it more with fascism? would it let us all fight together? how would this company come to an end in and you'll hear what needs to happen. um, what are the dimensions of the communist party like one should to some union, yet,

there is no doubt that it will end with a victory of man with a red flag, and a russian flag flying over the rod of ukraine and t if they're willing to be a ukraine by then, the ukraine has failed as a state from a historical perspective. there was no ukrainian states before 1917, and it is not the bolsheviks who created it. but rather the interim government, after those are abdicated and the interim government improved, unable to hold the reins of power, the empire split to more than 20 different states. people gathered in t of and just said, we are ukraine now. they didn't hold a referendum or anything like that. just some people in an assembly hall holding a vote. when we came together in 2014 and said, we are the don't ask people's republic reset. we backed it up with a general referendum. the turn out was 80 percent and 90 percent of those voters

said yes to the don't ask people's republic getting up back then. however, nobody bothered with prayer for random. they just declared themselves ukraine and immediately invited the originals from the french event of the japanese and the germans. first score, a pod sky, then the directorate and all the various rulers of that part of ukraine, who were only propped up by western troops and they were all liter kicked out. and the soviet union was established, tanya, ukraine did very well during the soviet union thriving in a tight knit rather li, family of peoples that they use us are, was certainly short. so we will have a brotherly union of peoples again. and our dream is right behind me. this is flooding relented. living who showed us the way along the new past where great linen did lead. as the soviet down, some went. our dream is to restore

a great and powerful state and it will come true. there is no other way for russia . this is the only one. and the communist party of the russian federation is telling vladimir putin today. and he acknowledges this to me that the past 3 decades traveling along the capital as a pastor and we have lead russian. nowhere for capitalism is that a dead ends using it and put in and said so himself that folks have gone of assessing to him. socialism is the only way out and we're them socialism means the reverse of a powerful state. we believe in it and we know that this is how it will be. victory will be ours. as joseph stolid, one said the the

the the, [000:00:00;00] the
