The Left in the EU Parliament

Instructions to housing for all. Be aware: following these instructions will result in the fixing of the housing crisis. We are not liable for the loss of profits that were squished out of people who simply wanted a roof over their head. Any tears shed by speculators can be dried using any absorbent material. We do not offer refunds for “lost investment opportunities” or “portfolio shrinkage” resulting from the radical act of people actually living in homes. Join us in this collective effort to secure housing justice for all at the link in bio.

+++It’s time to take action. Get a copy of this poster at the link in bio and cover your city. If your country is hosting Netanyahu, make sure he is met with the truth.+++ Double standards and a European tour? While the International Criminal Court seeks justice, EU leaders are helping to shield those responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity. This week, Viktor Orbán is hosting Benjamin Netanyahu in Budapest—despite the ICC’s arrest warrant for his alleged war crimes, including starvation as a method of warfare, and crimes against humanity such as murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts committed during Israel’s war on Gaza. Yet Netanyahu isn’t just being welcomed in Hungary. Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, EU foreign affairs chief Kaja Kallas, and Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič have all met with Netanyahu or other Israeli officials. Meanwhile, Germany and Poland have signaled they will disregard the ICC’s arrest warrant, following Orbán’s example. Supporting the ICC is not about politics—it’s about upholding international law and human rights. No leader should be above the law. Silence in the face of war crimes is complicity.

Different wording, same core memory Queer liberation is impossible under a system that prioritises profit over people. Every June, corporations are slapping rainbows on their logos to distract from poverty wages, union-busting, and funding anti-queer politicians. Pride is a riot, a political movement rooted in resistance, and also a celebration of hard-won rights, visibility, and freedom. As rainbow logos return every June, Pride cannot become a shield for pinkwashing, selective solidarity, or the use of LGBTQ+ rights to justify violence, nationalism, or exclusion. Queer liberation is not a marketing strategy, nor a tool for political image-making. Pride means standing for dignity, safety, and freedom for all people, everywhere.

Only yes means yes. Everything else is violence.

When schools do not talk about consent, relationships and sexuality, someone else fills the silence: influencers, algorithms and platforms that profit from misogyny, humiliation and rape culture. This is why we pushed for mandatory, age-appropriate and gender-sensitive sexuality and relationship education across Europe. But the far right, together with conservatives, rejected it in plenary. Because misogyny and fear are politically profitable and keeping people uninformed and uneducated gives them power and influence. If we do not educate young people about consent, respect and equality, the manosphere will.

If you purchase a product, it should not self-destruct because a corporation decides it is no longer profitable. But in the video game industry today, gamers are treated like ATMs by constant microtransactions, subscriptions, and live-service models. Games being remotely killed by big studios, come on. Players lose access to what they paid for, developers lose years of creative work, and pieces of our digital culture disappear forever. Stop Killing Games, a movement of gamers, consumer advocates, and developers, has now collected over 1 million signatures against abusive practices by software companies and it is coming to the European Parliament next week. The Left will continue to fight in the Parliament and alongside those wishing to stop the killing of video games.

The "United by Music" slogan rings hollow while the EU continues to provide political and economic cover for the genocide in Gaza. The latest numbers from the WHO are a record of a systemic massacre: - Over 72,740 killed. - 172,500+ injured. - 43,000 survivors left with life-altering injuries. The @eurovision calls this "non-political." We call it complicity. You cannot "celebrate" while the ground is still shaking from bombs. We aren't just calling for a boycott of a show; we are demanding an end to EU hypocrisy: 🛑Suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement We don’t need a corporate trophy to be united. We are united by our refusal to stay silent. The stage is ours, not theirs. 🙉Don't Tune In: Every view is a metric they use to justify their "neutrality." 🔥Boost the Courageous: Support the artists who had the guts to say "no" to Vienna.

Europe’s capitals are becoming gated communities for the rich. We work to live, not to fund the corporate landlord’s portfolio. If the minimum wage can't pay the rent and heat the home, the system is broken, not the workers. Let’s push together for: - Large-scale public and social housing investment - Rent controls - An end to speculation, vacant housing & financialisation - Living wages - Social security

EU-funded gunmen just opened fire on a rescue ship carrying 90 survivors. This is what the EU calls a ‘coast guard’. By funding these militias, the EU and the German government are complicit in every shot fired. The Left calls for: Immediate protection for the Sea-Watch 5 and everyone on board. Stop all EU funding and cooperation with the Libyan Coast Guard. Full transparency and accountability for these criminal acts. The urgent intervention by European authorities to prevent further escalation. Respect for human rights and safety at the sea.

From GKN in Italy to Duralex in France, workers are showing that an alternative to profit driven decisions made from above can exist. After more than 400 workers were dismissed overnight, the former GKN workers resisted and built something new through collective struggle, solidarity, and self management. Their cooperative is proof that workers do not just keep factories running. They have the skills, creativity, and vision to build a different model of production based on solidarity, sustainability, and collective power. Managers come and go. Workers stay. Learn more about their struggle and their cooperative and support them through the link in bio.

At 11 PM on this day, 81 years ago, Nazi Germany unconditionally surrendered. Fascism was defeated through resistance, sacrifice, and collective struggle. Today, the far right is once again growing across Europe, spreading racism, nationalism, and hate. As rights are eroded and solidarity attacked, antifascism remains a necessity. “Never again” is not just memory. It is a commitment we must defend every day.

Oh, sweetie, it’s not inflation, food prices or your energy bills. It’s a rigged system. Because a crisis for you means profits for them. 👠 #taxtherich
