Check out our Feminist Assembly video , where we expose how militarism and austerity hit women hardest, and affirm that feminism means peace, justice, and public investment, not war. ✊ youtu.be/CluYmdluCFg

Militarism kills people and the planet. Not all that is destroyed will ever recover. 🌍 The European Left stands for peace, social justice and environmental responsibility,not profit and rearmament.

🌍 Why is the European Forum important? Because it is a space for dialogue, strategy & solidarity for progressives, greens & leftists! For feminism, ecology, peace, workers’ rights & social justice.

La cooperación y la solidaridad son la base para un mundo en Paz. Por eso, desde el Partido de la Izquierda Europea nos sumamos al Foro Internacional por la Paz en su defensa de la resolución de la ONU que condena el bloqueo a Cuba.

🌐 On 24 Oct 1945, the UN Charter came into force, shaped by the fight against fascism & decolonisation. 80 years later, the UN remains a cornerstone for peace, self-determination & global cooperation.  Read our full statement here: www.european-left.org/80-years-of-...

Across Europe, rents soar while wages stagnate. 
Homes sit empty while people sleep in the streets. At the European Forum next week, we demand housing as a right... not a commodity.
 🏠 Homes for people, not for profit.
It’s time to end austerity in our daily lives.

In 1955, the Bandung Conference united 29 Asian & African nations to challenge colonialism and imperialism. Today, its legacy calls for renewed global solidarity. 📰 Read the full article here: www.european-left.org/bandung-at-7...

Sanction Israel. End Complicity. 📍 Meet-up: 8.30 AM – European Convention Center, 4 Pl. de l’Europe, Kirchberg, Luxembourg 🗓️ Day of action: October 20

🚫 Europe is pouring billions into weapons - while cutting funding for schools, hospitals, and public services. We say: Enough. At the European Forum 2025, we stand for peace, not profit. Let’s invest in education, healthcare, and secure jobs.✊

@ptbbelgique.bsky.social brought the energy to the streets today in Brussels. ✊

✊ The European Left stands in solidarity with today’s general strike and demonstration in Brussels! Together with Belgian trade unions and thousands of workers, pensioners, and youth, we march to defend social justice, fair wages, and strong public services.

📢 Demonstration in Vienna, Saturday 11 October 🕊️ Treffpunkt: Staatsoper, Wien 🔗 grossdemowien.at

PT. 3/3: The EU’s role in supporting the recent peace efforts for Gaza and a two state solution: A colonial “peace” that keeps arming the oppressor and silences the imprisoned. The EU debates Gaza without mentioning sanctions, arms embargo, or the thousands of Palestinians detained without trial.

PT. 2/3: Highlights from the EP Strasbourg Plenary (6-9/10/25) On Ilaria Salis lifting of parliamentary immunity: In a rebuke to Hungarian authorities, the Parliament rejected the request to lift her parliamentary protection. Not this time, “dear’ Viktor 😉

PT. 1/3: Highlights from the EP Strasbourg Plenary (6-9/10/25) Motion of censure VS UVDL: A crushing defeat for The Left, a win for the status quo. The failed motion of censure proves the EU's political center remains a firewall against fundamental change, insulating the Commission from critics.

People Over Profit: Mental Health Is a Right In today’s capitalist system, healthcare has been privatised & commodified, leaving millions without access to care. Acc. to the 2023 Eurobarometer, 46% of Europeans experienced emotional or psychosocial distress in the past year.

Israel’s detention of the Global Sumud Flotilla is a violation of international law and a crime against humanity. We demand the release of the crew and the continuation of their humanitarian mission to Gaza. @progintl.bsky.social @transformeurope.bsky.social 📄 Read the full statement 👇

"Not even a nail will reach Israel if they attack the Flotilla,” declared the Genoa CALP dockers. Together with dockers from Spain, France, Greece, Belgium and Germany, they are building a network of Ports of Peace, proving that it’s the working class that takes risks to stop the genocide in Gaza.

Lisi Proença, aboard the Sirius, recounts this morning’s attack on the flotilla: A naval vessel, a submarine perhaps, and drones approached to intimidate, inflict psychological warfare, and discourage the peaceful mission. “They made it very clear they wanted to be seen. They wanted us to see.”

60 years ago, up to 1M Indonesians were killed in anti-communist purges. Hundreds of thousands imprisoned, exiled, or forced into labor for real or alleged leftist ties. We remember the dreams, families, and futures erased. Learn more here 👇 www.european-left.org/indonesias-m...

Highlights from Fiesta PCE 2025 🎉✊ From debates on antifascism & workers’ rights to solidarity across borders… this weekend we showed that Another Europe is Possible.

🌍✊ The European Left stands with the Global Sumud Flotilla. We call on European governments and foreign ministries to act: protect their citizens and demand a safe passage to Gaza. 🖊️ Sign the petition: globalsumudflotilla.org/es/contact-o...

79 years ago today, the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, killing 140,000 by year’s end. Days later, Nagasaki was bombed - another 140,000 lives lost. We remember the victims and recommit to a world free of nuclear weapons. #Hiroshima #Nagasaki #NuclearAbolitionDay

Tomorrow, we’ll be off to La Fiesta del PCE! 💃✨ Don’t miss our debate: Another Europe is possible 🌍 🗓 Sunday, 11:00 AM

Hundreds of elected representatives from across the EU demand immediate protection for the Global Sumud Flotilla after last night’s attacks in European waters. Italian MPs have forced their government to deploy a naval vessel to protect nationals at sea. We urge other states to do the same.

🇵🇸 Yesterday in Paris, 10,000 voices demanded justice: recognition of the State of Palestine and an end to the genocide. Leaders of the PCF, the Socialist Party, The Greens, the Human Rights League, the CGT, the FSU & other human rights movements stood together. A united call for peace and dignity. ✊

🌍 This Sunday is the International Day of Peace! ✌️ The EL stands with and supports the Final Declaration of the International Forum for Peace. Building lasting peace begins with a commitment to social justice, cooperation, and disarmament. 👉 Read more here: www.european-left.org/global-call-...

🕊️ Our urgent message on this upcoming day of peace: End the genocide, end the killing. We stand for peace and justice in Palestine, and for an end to all wars, colonialism, and trade in weapons of war. 👉 Read the Final Declaration of the Intl. Forum for Peace: www.european-left.org/global-call-...

Women still earn less, work more, and carry unpaid care. This economic dependency traps many in violent relationships. Yet billions go to weapons instead of equality, care, and autonomy. No justice without feminism. No feminism without anti-militarism.
