The physical steel barrier between Poland and Belarus is seen in the middle of Bialowieza Forest on July 1, 2022 in Bialowieza, Poland. The Polish government decided to build a 186 kilometers long and 5.5 meter high steel barrier with barbed wire on the Polish - Belarus border, which is as well the border of the European Union and NATO. The decision was made after thousands of migrants, mainly from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan tried to cross into Poland from Belarus. Part of the barrier passes through Bialowieza forest. The decision was highly controversial as Bialowieza wilderness is one of the very few remaining primeval forests and the barrier will destroy natural habitats of endangered animal species. The government of Belarus was accused of orchestrating the migration, with help from Russia. The pressure on the Polish border is today seen as the first step of a larger plan of Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, to destabilise the European Union.

Demonstration in Piazza dell'Esquilino, Rome, Italy, on June 12, 2021, organised by the Italian Forum of Water Movements. Ten years ago a broad and determined coalition sanctioned a historic victory in Italy with 27 million 'Yes' votes in the referendums on water, public services and nuclear power, forcing those who had imposed privatisation for decades to take a step backwards. Ten years later, at the height of the pandemic, that victory, based on the defence of the commons and the affirmation of the rights of all? over the profits of a few, has an even more topical meaning. Since December 2020, water, like any other commodity, has been listed on the stock exchange. This is an epoch-making step that opens the door to speculation by big capital and the marginalisation of territories and populations, and constitutes a serious threat to fundamental human rights.
