On the 78th anniversary of the Nakba, the catastrophe, the EL renews its solidarity with the Palestinian people, who today are suffering a second catastrophe, a blatant genocide and ethnic cleansing: a new and even more terrible Nakba. Read the full statement: www.european-left.org/statement-on...

Anti-militarization is at the core of the EL struggle for a world of peace, justice and equality. Watch the capsule video from our Congress youtube.com/shorts/CL1vo.... Thanks to @davidpestieau.bsky.social @schirdewan.bsky.social & Kate Hudson for their powerful contribution!

On May 12, the European Left stands with Belgium's working class and urges everyone to join similar protests across Europe. Wherever neoliberal and right-wing governments bet on war budgets instead of people's futures, we'll be there to fight back! #WinTheFuture @ptbbelgique.bsky.social

8 May marks the liberation of Europe from fascism. The survivors of Mauthausen, Buchenwald, Dachau and Ravensbrück swore: Never again war — never again fascism. With wars raging, rearmament escalating and the far right advancing across Europe, their message remains unfinished. Never again is now.

Decent Work Balkans visited the EL Office today! Trade unions, social movements and NGOs from the Western Balkans joined us to strengthen common struggles for social rights and better working conditions across Europe. #FightAusterity #SocialRights #TradeUnions

The European Left condemns Trump’s new sanctions on Cuba, calling the blockade collective punishment that harms daily life and violates sovereignty. We demand an immediate end to the blockade and support Cuba’s right to self-determination free from external interference.

Lebanon faces a catastrophic humanitarian crisis: over 1 million displaced, hospitals and schools attacked, and Beirut under evacuation orders. We stand with the Lebanese people in demanding an immediate ceasefire, full withdrawal of occupation forces, and respect for sovereignty.

The European Left strongly condemns the armed attacks carried out in recent days in Mali. Full statement available here: www.european-left.org/urgent-mali-...

Saif & Thiago, illegally held by Israel until 5 May, face inhuman treatment. They reject allegations of collaborating with terrorist groups. Greece: why extradite despite torture risk? Italy: no response to your boat's kidnapping? EU, stop with the empty statements. Suspend the EU-Israel deal NOW.

"Workers across nations refuse to become the enemy of one another, while the military-industrial fuels endless wars, counting billions in blood money. The EL calls for resistance: join the demonstration in Brussels on the 14th of June. Welfare not warfare!”. www.european-left.org/may-day-powe...

New act of piracy: Israeli government attacked the Global Sumud Flotilla 900 km off Gaza. The European Left demands full guarantees for all members as well as an independent international investigation. www.european-left.org/european-lef...

Hungary’s elections may change faces, but will they change lives? As Attila Vajnai warns, poverty, weak labour rights & underfunded public services remain unaddressed—while elites stay protected. A real alternative is needed. Read more 👉 www.european-left.org/hungary-elec...

Barcelona sending off the Global Sumud Flotilla today. Wishing the crew strength, a safe passage, and calm seas. Your courage carries a message the world needs to hear: solidarity, dignity, and hope. Until you return 🌊✊

French NGOs @ldh.fr @utopia56.bsky.social and @anafeasso.bsky.social accuse him of having encouraged Frontex agents to facilitate the interception of migrant boats by Libyan and Greek authorities in the Mediterranean. Fabrice Leggeri is now an MEP with far-right Rassemblement National.

Today's vote paves the way for mass detention, family separation and deportations - normalising abuse we've seen with ICE in the US. Now Commission, Council and Parliament will work to hammer out a final text. Help us stop it. Share, mobilise, sign the petition: action.wemove.eu/sign/2025-12...

Hemos conseguido que todos los contratos de alquiler que caducan antes del 2028 se puedan prorrogar dos años más. Sí, has leído bien. Frenamos las subidas abusivas, aunque a tu casero no le guste.

Our statement on the War in the Middle East:

From 23–29 March 2026, communities across Europe and around the world are mobilising for Housing Action Days 2026, a global week of action calling for the right to housing on a liveable planet. Read our article: www.european-left.org/400-face-evi... More Info: housingnotprofit.org/housing-acti...

The European Left, on behalf of Walter Baier and Maite Mola, have submitted an official complaint to international and European authorities regarding the Cuba blockade and sanctions against Venezuela.

🇨🇺 The Party of the European Left stands with the International Convoy “Nuestra América,” bringing essential aid on March 21 by land, sea & air, challenging decades of unjust U.S. sanctions. Read our full statement here: www.european-left.org/solidarity-e...

"We are feminists, anti-militarist, anti-capitalist, anti-fascist, anti-racist and internationalist. We stand with women from every corner where global capitalism and war sow death and injustice." Read the full statement from the EL Feminist WG: www.european-left.org/on-march-8-f...

On the day before the 8th of March, we raise our voices for feminism and peace. Women’s security isn’t measured in tanks, but in dignity, autonomy, and social justice. We reject budgets for war while care, healthcare, housing, and education are weakened. Let’s make our 5% count for life. #My5Percent

When public care shrinks, the work doesn’t disappear it moves into homes, onto women’s shoulders. The result: interrupted careers, lower wages, smaller pensions, and deeper inequality. A feminist budget invests in care, not weapons. Care is infrastructure for equality. #My5Percent

One in three women experiences physical or sexual violence, yet funding for prevention and protection remains minimal. Shelters are full and support services overstretched. Real security means being able to leave violence safely. Invest in prevention and survivor support not weapons. #My5Percent

We are deeply concerned about Big Tech AI being integrated into military & surveillance systems without democratic oversight. Citizens are not powerless. The future of AI is a political choice. Read our full statement here: www.european-left.org/ai-democracy...

Housing is independence. For a single mother rebuilding her life. For a woman escaping violence. For an elderly woman surviving on a small pension. Without affordable housing, rights are fragile. Security isn’t just borders — it’s a safe home. What could 5% for housing change in your country?

Less education means less autonomy. Europe spends ~5% of GDP on public education. Matching or exceeding that for military budgets shows priorities. When schools stagnate, classrooms crowd, support shrinks, childcare lags, universities cost more. Families fill gaps mostly mothers.
