  • El Blues de los campesinos verdes de Lituania

  • Por Algirdas Davidavičius | 05 Dec 16
  • En el contexto del actual aumento del neo-nacionalismo y la creciente xenofobia en la UE y al otro lado del Atlántico, se podría decir que las elecciones en Lituania, que finalizaron el 23 de octubre, se realizaron con una tranquilidad bucólica. Pero es un preludio de otra fase de una crisis post-democrática que afecta a las democracias nacionales sin un precariado movilizado en al región.

  • Abortion Strike

  • For Formal Freedoms and Real. The ‘Black Protest’ in Poland

  • Por Agata Czarnacka | 30 Nov 16
  • Given that Poland has one of the lowest natality rates in EU, and its population does not comprise from nuns, priests and friars but regular people, one could expect abortion rate to reach levels similar to other European countries, i.e. approximately 150,000 per year. And yet, officially speaking, the number of abortions performed in the country barely exceeds 1,000.

  • A socioecological view of Trump’s election

  • Por Josef Baum | 24 Nov 16
  • The Trump vote has, without a doubt, had far-reaching effects on a number of levels, from global down to regional. The Trumps of this world want to (really) turn back the clock in all areas of society: from women’s rights to global and national upwards redistribution of wealth, armament and the trivialisation of an atomic weapons attack through to doing away with environmental and climatic protection.

  • Individual membership in the EL

  • Por Roberto Musacchio | 21 Nov 16
  • I am an individual member of the Party of the European Left, of which I had already been a member as a Member of the European Parliament, and a PRC (Communist Refoundation Party) activist. It was the PRC, one of the founders of the European Left, that pushed this form of membership provided for by the Charter and, at the beginning of the 21st century, supported the creation of an association of individual members.

  • European intellectuals facing the Italian referendum

  • Global Call for Democracy

  • 14 Nov 16
  • On 4 December the constitutional referendum in Italy will be held. We regard this as a decisive moment not only in the history of the Italian republic but also for Europe. The changes submitted to the referendum aim at abolishing many of the democratic achievements laid down in Italy’s post-war constitution in order to transform the state into a ‘market-compatible’ post-democracy.
