The European Union has de-recognized Juan Guaidó as the “Interim President” of Venezuela with effect from January. 6. The move came after Guaidó lost his position as the head of the Venezuelan National Assembly following the December 2020 parliamentary elections. The European Commission declared that this was the will of all EU governments. Commission spokesman Peter Stano stated, “This is a text agreed and adopted by 27 EU member states.”

With the launch of the World’s biggest immunization drive on January 16, India is all set to create a history, but with several ominous signs too. The whole vaccine rollout plan, as stands after the meeting of our Prime Minister and Chief Ministers of the states, sets top priority on perceived threats over the real threats, indicative of someone having laymen’s ideas calling the shots in the name of experts to prevail over all reasons and common sense.

But for those of us who remember the days before Corbyn, it is familiar territory. However, things have not simply reverted to how they were. We are far stronger now than in 2015.

C-SPAN footage of the Trump supporters who made their way into the Capitol’s Statuary Hall showed them wandering around like tourists, seemingly as surprised to be there as anyone else was to see them there.
