Do you see this voting list? It shows that The Left is the only political group in the European Parliament to actively oppose the ridiculous EU-US Trade 'Deal' The US gets 0% tariffs, in return the EU pays 15% tariffs and is forced to buy €1tn+ in US oil, gas and weapons

In her address to the European Parliament this morning, Ursula von der Leyen once again failed to condemn US and Israeli massacres of civilians from Tehran to Beirut. Not one mention of the bombing of Minab school which killed over 150 people, most of them schoolchildren.

Today the European Parliament adopted the wrong answer to the housing crisis: 💰tax cuts for property developers 🏚️evictions for the poorly housed Our MEPs carried out an action just before the vote: the right makes profits for the rich, The Left builds houses.

Next week the European Parliament will propose these measures to tackle the housing crisis in Europe: 💰Tax breaks for the rich 🏚️evictions for the poor The Housing Committee's report is a lobbyist's dream, and a nightmare for working people.

Como rehén de la extrema derecha, el PP europeo sitúa la expulsión de seres humanos sin derechos ni garantías en el centro de las políticas migratorias de la UE, sin respetar el principio de no devolución. Y para que no se sepa, hurta el debate parlamentario. @left.eu left.eu/from-washing...

"Who could believe Trump and war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu care about Iranian lives?" - Left MEP @botengam.bsky.social Read our statement on the EU's support for violent regime change in Iran here: t.co/a02KjXZawx

🚨 Israel's Parliament is proceeding with a law to introduce the death penalty for Palestinians. We will raise it in the European Parliament today. Join us for this urgent press conference at 11:30 CET with Left MEP @lnbdublin.bsky.social t.co/9HNFWoxKkd

“The nationalist ideology of the ruling class in Moscow attacks diversity, freedom of expression, openness, and democracy. Nothing frightens dictators more than democracy.” - Left Co-Chair Martin Schirdewan speaking in the European Parliament today

Another pathetic act by the European Commission to bend the knee to Trump and his plans to build beachfront property on the graveyard of a genocide. The Left abhors the Commission's involvement in the so-called 'Board of Peace' and the new colonial regime for Gaza.

‼️ Hoy la Unión Europea traiciona sus principios. 🇪🇺 Malas noticias desde Estrasburgo, el Parlamento Europeo aprueba dos normas que pisotean el derecho al asilo @left.eu

Mon groupe @left.eu est le seul à s'être unanimement opposé à la destruction du droit d'asile 🇪🇺 ! L'alliance droite / extrême droite, soutenue par la moitié des centristes, a permis le passage de ce texte inhumain, autorisant la déportation les réfugiés en dehors d'Europe. Une honte !

Maja is 24, non-binary, anti-fascist, and today they have been sentenced to 8 years in prison in Hungary. Anti-fascism is not terrorism, it is a democratic duty. We stand with Maja and with everyone across Europe who refuses to be silenced. t.co/LoJjaDLOo6

A la Cour de Justice de l’Union 🇪🇺 pour soutenir, au nom de @left.eu une activiste des droits humains dans sa plainte contre le parlement. Il lui interdit l’accès à l’institution pour 2 ans parce qu’elle a envoyé des avions en papier lors du vote du funeste pacte asile/migration. Décision lamentable

Je soutiens, devant le Parlement 🇪🇺, des représentants du peuple Kurde, aujourd’hui complètement abandonné par la communauté internationale, notamment en #Syrie et au #Rojava. L’Europe ne peut se rendre complice des exactions du régime d’Al Jolani et des milices d’Erdogan contre les #Kurdes @left.eu

🚨 Following the murder of protesters and widespread arbitrary detentions in the USA, ICE cannot be allowed in Europe. We are calling for an immediate travel ban on all ICE agents. This is now urgent following reports ICE will police the Winter Olympics in Italy 🚨

The public execution of Alex Pretti is being praised by the European far-right who want to copy and paste ICE tactics on this side of the Atlantic. To honour the memory of those murdered by ICE, we must mobilise against efforts to export the Trump model worldwide

🔴 VICTORY! The European Parliament has voted for The Left's request to refer the Mercosur agreement to the ECJ. A blow to this treaty, which is destructive to agriculture, the climate, and health. "A great victory for farmers. A great victory for the Left" - @lukemingflanagan.bsky.social

Early this morning, Israeli forces destroyed the United Nations' UNRWA Headquarters in Jerusalem in another breach of international law by the fugitive Netanyahu. Will the European Union issue another 'statement of concern' or will we finally see sanctions on this rogue state?

Les procureurs du procès de Maja, militante antifasciste, ont annoncé vouloir une peine sévère pour l'exemple. Elle risque jusqu'à 24 ans de prison pour s'être opposée à un rassemblement de nazis à Budapest. Notre résolution avec les camarades de @left.eu.

"We urgently need an ethics body with more teeth to stop the rot of corruption at its source, rather than waiting for the next scandal to break.” - Left Co-Chair @manonaubryfr.bsky.social on Federica Mogherini joining the esteemed club of top EU figures to be investigated for corruption.

Donald Trump has murdered Venezuelans, sent a nuclear armada and has imposed a No-Fly-Zone over Venezuela. Why does the EU systematically accept US violations of international law? - @botengam.bsky.social Our statement as the US prepares an invasion of Venezuela 👉 left.eu/venezuela-eu...

🚨The European Commission broke it's own rules 🚨 The European Ombudsman announced today; in pushing through the 'Omnibus' deregulation agenda, Ursula von der Leyen's European Commission denied the participation of citizens but allowed corporations to influence policy!

🚨Deforestation Law on the chopping block🚨 The EU is deregulating so fast it's killing off laws that haven't even been applied yet. This time, they're deregulating laws against deforestation🌲 Once again the right wing and centre teamed up to dismantle the European Green Deal

European Parliament blocks debate on Israeli attacks on Gaza. As hundreds die in bombings Gaza and Lebanon despite a 'ceasefire', The Left called for the European Parliament to do the bare minimum today and hold a debate. The right and centre voted no.

If the Commission has its way, it will become easier for banks to channel funds into nuclear weapons, white phosphorous or killer drones, all while calling it ‘sustainable’. The Left has tabled a resolution in the European Parliament to block the move. left.eu/greenwashing...

"The European Union has failed to act against genocide" Francesca Albanese delivering hard truths in the European Parliament at a press conference with Left MEP Estrella Galán today.

Most workers pay more tax than the average billionaire. Left MEPs are the first to ever attend the Negotiating Committee sessions for a UN Tax Convention in Nairobi. This is a real opportunity for global tax justice. Here is what we are fighting for 👉 left.eu/global-tax-j...

In what may yet go down in history as an infamous turning point for Europe, a new alliance formed today between the EPP and the extreme-right. Why? To let corporations off the hook for human rights abuses and environmental destruction #Omnibus Read👉 left.eu/the-epp-find...

Ilaria Salis 1 : Viktor Orbán 0 This week, the JURI Committee in the European Parliament refused to bow to the threats of authoritarian leader Viktor Orbán, voting NOT to lift the parliamentary immunity of Left MEP Ilaria Salis✊

The Global Sumud Flotilla was attacked under cover of darkness last night. There is little doubt about who is behind this heinous crime. Left MEPs Emma Fourreau and Lynn Boylan are safe and accounted for. Solidarity with all crew of this humanitarian mission 🔴⚫⚪🟢

The Global Sumud Flotilla is on its way to break the blockade of Gaza. Our MEP @emma-fourreau.bsky.social is on board. The flotilla will be observed by experts and lawmakers on an independent legal observer ship, including Left MEP @lnbdublin.bsky.social The tide is rising for Palestine.

So, what now Kaja Kallas? Do you still trust your 'very good partners'?

Results! On foot of a complaint submitted by The Left MEP Valentina Palmisano, the European Ombudsman has opened an official inquiry into the Commission’s failure to act against Italy's ILVA steelworks! Read more: www.ombudsman.europa.eu/en/opening-s...

Es injustificable que el Fondo Social Europeo + se vaya a gasto en defensa en lugar de al apoyo al empleo o la educación, mientras la desigualdad de la riqueza sigue creciendo. Desde @left.eu vemos con gran preocupación lo que vamos conociendo del nuevo presupuesto de la UE left.eu/mff-social-f...
