1 мая - Международный день трудящихся

1 мая отмечается во всем мире как Международный день трудящихся или День труда.

День труда или день 1 мая празднуют люди из рабочего класса и их вклад в развитие общества, и во многих странах это ежегодный государственный праздник. Праздник берет свое начало в профсоюзном движении в США XIX века, когда промышленники эксплуатировали рабочий класс и заставляли их работать до 15 часов в день. Рабочие восстали против этой эксплуатации и потребовали оплачиваемые отпуски, надлежащую заработную плату и перерыви для рабочих. Восьмичасовое рабочее движение требовало восьми часов на работу, восьми часов на развлечение и восьми часов на отдых.

Тема Дня труда 2019 года - «Объединение трудящихся для социально-экономического развития». День труда или Первомай отдает дань тяжелому труду трудящихся всего мира и в этот день празднуют их достижения.

Во многих странах будут проходить митинги и демонстрации, чтобы отметить борьбу рабочего класса и солидарность с рабочим классом во всем мире. В некоторых странах события будут происходить на фоне запугивания и преследования со стороны правительства.

Первомай на Южном Кавказе

Первоначально народные гуляния проводились в Советском Союзе в больших масштабах, но после его распада праздник был в значительной степени затуманен, отмечаемый лишь несколькими пожилыми коммунистами, и это, безусловно, имело место в республиках Южного Кавказа - Армении, Азербайджане и Грузия.

Однако есть признаки возрождения интереса, совпадающие с возросшими представлениями о правах работников, и не в последнюю очередь о вопросах охраны труда и здоровья на рабочем месте. Профсоюзы и рабочие движения на посткоммунистическом Южном Кавказе остаются в основном слабыми и неэффективными. Но вполне вероятно, что это изменится, так как социальные вопросы, включая права трудящихся, становятся все более важными.

"Of course, we will have to take into account the evolving situation, but disengagement is not an option.  We are clear on that: there is no alternative to a negotiated political settlement, through inclusive peace talks.

Turkiye to host COP31 in 2026

A consensus has emerged during COP 30, currently being held in Belan, Brazil, that COP 31 will be held in the Turkish city of Antalya, in 2026. In 2026 Turkiye will host another global event, the NATO leaders summit. Turkiye is set to host COP31 after reaching compromise with Australia.  The COP31 climate meeting is now expected to be held in Turkey after Australia dropped its bid to host the annual event. Under the UN rules, the right to host the COP in 2026 falls to a group of countries made up of Western Europe, Australia and others. A consensus must be reached but neither country had been willing to concede. Australia has now agreed to support the Turkish bid in return for their minister chairing the talks following negotiations at COP30, currently being held in Brazil. This unusual arrangement has taken observers by surprise. It is normal for a COP president to be from the host country and how this new partnership will work in practice remains to be seen. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has called the compromise with Turkey an "outstanding result" in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), noting Pacific issues would be "front and centre". He added that he had spoken to Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape and Prime Minister Rabuka of Fiji. There will be relief among countries currently meeting at COP30 in the Brazilian city of Belém that a compromise has been reached as the lack of agreement on the venue was becoming an embarrassment for the UN.
