"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
Tell us: How would you invest your 5%?
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
Tell us: How would you invest your 5%?
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.

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.

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.
Women’s health is not optional.
When military spending rises, public services often pay starting with healthcare. Cuts mean fewer preventive services, longer waits, and reduced access to reproductive and maternal care.
Security is care, health, and dignity not more weapons.
The “28th Regime” risks becoming a backdoor for social dumping.
A parallel EU framework must not allow companies to bypass labor rights, co-determination or fair taxation.
No opt-outs on workers’ rights
Strict tax transparency
No shell companies

5% of GDP for the military. That’s what NATO is pushing.
It sounds small. It isn’t. It could mean doubling military budgets billions cut from healthcare, education, housing, care, and protection from gender-based violence.
Budgets are choices. Militarization is a choice. We choose life.
Our full statement on the illegal military strikes by Israel and the U.S. against Iran is now online.
📌 Read it here: www.european-left.org/stop-the-ill...
This morning at our Executive Committee meeting, the first discussion was the illegal military strikes against Iran.
These attacks violate the UN Charter and risk wider regional chaos. Calling them “preventive” does not make them lawful.
Our solidarity is with the Iranian people.
Dialogue not bombs!

The European Left rejects the U.S. attempt to impose trade tariffs on companies supplying fuel to Cuba, deepening an already brutal blockade.
❗ Calling Cuba an “extraordinary threat” is false and absurd.
🇪🇺 We call on the EU not to accept the Order of 19 June.
🔗 www.european-left.org/title-sep-si...
The European Left proudly reaffirms its long-term solidarity with the Cuban people.
From 23–31 January we join @cubanismo.be to say NO to the blockade and NO to imperialist threats.
Hands off Cuba — today and always. ✊🇨🇺

Spain’s plan to regularise around 500,000 undocumented migrants has been viewed positively by the European Left — as a pragmatic, rights-based response that aligns migration policy with social reality.
Less fear. More rights.

2025 was a year of struggle — and resistance across Europe.
The European Left defended housing as a right, mobilised for peace, and marked 80 years since liberation from Nazi-fascism.

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honour the six million Jews murdered by the Nazi regime and all those persecuted by fascism.
The Holocaust was enabled by racism, antisemitism and authoritarianism forces rising again today.
