The Gaddafi name is returning to Libyan politics?
This was an unofficial online poll, not scientific national polling. But Aisha Gaddafi taking 141,502 votes, roughly 26% of more than half a million cast, may be significant for another reason.
Following the death of her brother Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the political current associated with the former Jamahiriya has been left without its most prominent post-2011 figure. Now groups within that movement are publicly calling for Aisha to take his place, with Saif’s National Popular Movement reportedly backing her leadership.
Aisha has not announced a presidential campaign. But suddenly the daughter of Muammar Gaddafi is being discussed not simply as a symbol of her father’s legacy, but as a potential political figure in her own right.
Libya remains divided 15 years after NATO’s intervention and Gaddafi’s overthrow, while the country is once again wrestling with the legal framework for presidential and parliamentary elections.
The question now is whether Aisha intends to turn that legacy into an actual political movement.
🇪🇸🔥 Spain is boiling over
After Pedro Sánchez dissolved parliament and called a snap election, tens of thousands poured into the streets of Barcelona over Spain’s worsening housing crisis with the night descending into fires and clashes with police.
What began with outrage over the eviction of an 87-year-old woman from the home she had lived in for 70 years has grown into something much larger.
Sky-high rents, investment funds buying up housing, evictions and a generation increasingly unable to afford a home have turned housing into a major political flashpoint.
Now Sánchez is heading into a November 29 election with those frustrations spilling quite literally into the streets.
“We have been involved with the Saudi government to have their [education] curriculum changed…”
Why is the USA’s Antisemitism Czar controlling Saudi education? And why is he admitting it right out in the open like that?
Renowned American billionaire Ray Dalio has warned of an inevitable crisis in the U.S. national debt, which he predicts will occur within the next 3 years.
Currently, the U.S. national debt exceeds $40.2 trillion, and the U.S. will spend at least $1.5 trillion this year on servicing (interest payments) this debt
🇬🇧 The UK Conservative Party has unveiled plans for a **£10 billion air and missile defense system called “Britannia Shield,”** drawing partly on Israel’s Iron Dome and combining radar, interceptors, upgraded command systems and counter-drone technology.
The proposal would protect critical infrastructure, military bases and UK territories, with an initial deployable capability planned during a future Conservative government’s first term. **Britain wants its own shield in the sky — and is preparing for a future of drones and missiles.**
🇩🇪 AfD uncovers ironic government waste
Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil spent about €200,000 of tax money on make-up artists, stylists and photographers in a bit over a year, since he took office.
That’s a lot of money for someone who constantly talks about the poors with a tear in his eye … trying to be a man of the people.
Bro, I achieve the same look using one soap for everything, no stylists involved. 🤣
AFD should keep digging and expose these “hypocrites” more.
