The Left in the European Parliament

We welcome the news that the Parliament's highest honour, the 2027 Sakharov Prize, has been awarded to the ICC.

This is a strong signal to the European Commission to immediately invoke the Blocking Statute, and protect international justice from US sanctions and intimidation.

"Last Friday the US announced sanctions on the International Criminal Court.

The EU must defend the architecture of international law which is why we must activate the Blocking Statute - and ensure we are not complicit in the dismantling of international law"

"Crosse en l’air et rompons les rangs!"

Resisting forced military service is a human right in the Charter of Fundamental Rights, a right increasingly under attack worldwide❌

Today we hosted objectors to organise the defence of conscientious objection in the European Parliament

It is with sadness that The Left learned the death of Barbara Spinelli, a former Left MEP

We'll remember her commitment to social justice & opposition to austerity, neoliberal policies that are reshaping the 🇪🇺project

We extend our deepest condolences to her family & loved ones

For 28 years the Garvaghy Road community in the north of Ireland lived in peace 🇮🇪

A sectarian march now threatens decades of peacebuilding and healing.

Today Left MEPs came together to say "There is no going back" to the sectarianism of the past.

Solidarity with Garvaghy!
