🚨Israel bans entry to MEPs Jonas Sjöstedt and Hanna Gedin "We were to meet the Swedish embassy and the EU's diplomatic corps. But more importantly, we were to meet Palestinian children who have been denied care and have experienced captivity and torture."

Everyone deserves safety and a home. The EU treats migrants like commodities while ignoring the working people of Europe. Ceuta is the result of choosing dirty deals over human life. We fight for a EU rooted in human rights, collective care, and equal dignity for all.

Across every race, gender, and background, we all seek freedom and safety. Hate tries to divide us, but with CSD Berlin, our #solidarity knows no borders. Together, we stand strong to defend our rights against fear. #berlinpride #CSDBerlin

Former Left MEP @SteliosKoul's device was compromised after investigating the illegal use of Pegasus spyware. After a tight vote, our request with @GreensEFA for a plenary debate has been adopted. But again, the right & the far right chose silence over defending democracy.

“It is unacceptable that a racist, misogynistic, antisemitic and homophobic European political party continues to receive EU funding.

In a campaign initiated by The Left in the European Parliament, over 180 MEPs today called for an urgent investigation into abuses by the extremist Europe of Sovereign Nations party ESN includes Germany’s AfD, Bulgaria’s Revival and France’s Reconquête. left.eu/meps-back-investigation-into-esn-p...Mostrar mais

ICE raids on activists like @Betocoralgare unacceptable and it is exactly the kind of crackdown the far-right and conservatives want in Europe. He must be liberated and we will continue to resist far-right policies that bring ICE-like raids in our schools and homes.

The era of resistance begins. Today, the far right, with the help of the conservatives and liberals, pushed through the Deportation Regulation in the European Parliament. This is a shame for Europe. They are ushering in a period of fear, exclusion, raids and deportation.

The return regulation dictated by the heirs of Nazism has been approved by the coalition of the EPP and the far right, with the complicity of the liberals. It is a shame. The Left will always resist those racist and xenophobic policies.

"Under the new rules, a European ICE will be able to raid schools to detain children. This flies in the face of all international conventions and human rights."

"One of the gravest pieces of legislation ever presented by the European Union" - The Left Co-Chair @ManonAubryFr on the Returns Regulation, the EU's proposal to ship families to detention centres abroad.

"Trump keeps changing the deal on a daily basis. The EU-US trade agreement serves American commercial interests alone." - The Left Co-Chair Martin @schirdewan on the passing of the Turnberry deal this week. The Left is the only real opposition to appeasement of Trump.

"Elon Musk may be the world's first trillionaire, yet he can't even get into Berghain"

Next week, the @Europarl_EN will vote on the « return regulation » which will lead to mass deportation, ICE-style raids and Europe’s own Guantánamo Behind every deportation is a person, a family, a life torn apart. Stop the deportations.

The Europe of Sovereign Nations party is an extremist far-right organisation that breaches EU values - according to an unreleased letter from the watchdog for European political parties. In a letter to President Metsola, we request the urgent release of this correspondence.

Use less electricity. Shift your consumption. Adapt your behaviour. The EU Commission wants households to reduce electricity use during peak hours in order to free up electricity for AI data centers. Once again, the people are asked to pay the price while corporations profit.

EU decides to trust Trump The EU-US deal has been adopted by @EP_Trade. This agreement is a political surrender to the blackmail tactics of an unpredictable US President following poor negotiating by the European Commission The Left stands alone against it to protects workers

Today marks the third Eid al-Adha in Gaza under constant bombardment. And the "deeply concerned" European Union? Continues trading with Israel. Suspend the EU-Israel trade agreement. End complicity. Now.

Literally unplayable! The #StopKillingGames campaign made it to the European Parliament today, following a massively successful campaign that collected over 1 million signatures 🤟 We must stop gamedevs from remotely disabling videogames in order to maximise profits!

Rent is up. Groceries are insane. You’re working harder just to survive. And right now, the EU is fast-tracking “EU Inc.” (The 28th Regime), a new corporate law that lets companies bypass national rules. We will fight this attack on working people. @liandersson @etuc_ces

The Left welcomed Saif Abu Keshek, member of the @gbsumudflotilla who was arrested by Israeli authorities & detained under severe conditions until one week ago. We renewed the call to act urgently to end the blockade on Gaza & to suspend the EU-Israel Agreement.

We will not be blackmailed. We will not accept a bad deal imposed on Europe. No agreement should sacrifice our workers, our standards, or our future. We need an economy that serves people, not foreign pressure.

Our co-Chair @ManonAubryFr blasted the EU for its inaction regarding the genocide in Palestine. "Another act of piracy: the illegal arrest of the #flotilla. The flotilla is defending Europe’s honor where the EU has failed." We must suspend the EU-Israel agreement NOW!

At today’ press conference, co-Chair @schirdewan slammed the EU-US deal. “This is a deal of shame. It is absurd, reckless, and we are completely opposed to this deal.” The Left will continue to oppose this deal and demand the activation of the EU anti-coercion instrument.

These are the people the European Union is honouring for their 'commitment to European ideals' today. The European Order of Merit should go to real working heroes 🛠️ Not tax evaders, austerity chiefs, and cardinals.

The European Parliament has adopted the report on rule of law led by Left MEP @kostarvanitis 🎉 This report marks a decisive step, it brings a fundamental fight back to the forefront: there can be no rule of law without social justice.

Less funds for farmers. Less funds for workers. Double the cash for militarisation 💰 This is the Von der Leyen budget approved by the European Parliament today. A budget for corporations, not for people.

💄 This week, far-right and conservative parties want to lower protections in cosmetic products so corporations can keep carcinogens and PFAS in their products ☠️ This is deregulation at your expense. They want us pretty while we die.

Chris Smalls @Shut_downAmazon, the worker who took on Amazon and won, reminds us: power doesn’t come from wealth, it comes from people who organise and act. Nothing changes if we do nothing. Solidarity is action.
