9 May 2024

When celebrating the 79th. anniversary of the Victory over Nazi-fascism in World War II, it is imperative to remember that Nazi-fascism was the most violent and criminal form of exploitation and oppression spawned by capitalism, with its anti-communism, its racism and xenophobia, its attack on freedoms and democratic rights, its support of militarism and war.

We present our commitment for the elections to the European Parliament with clarity and audacity and without illusions or half-truths

3 May 2024

Here we present our commitment for the elections to the European Parliament. We do so with clarity and audacity and, as always, without illusions or half-truths. Here are the proposals that we present to the people and the workers, what are the ideas and objectives that serve them, particularly at a time when so many new challenges arise. This is the moment in which the importance of having more MPs in the European Parliament is greater, providing a distinctive and courageous voice, who do not evade difficulties, and stand up to the great powers and the lords of money.

Here we are accounting on the work carried out in the scope of the European Parliament by those elected on the CDU slates. Today we present the assessment of the work carried out, but our accountability is made every day, to the workers and the people. We said that the workers and the people could count on the CDU, five years later, we have fully fulfilled the commitments made. Those hearing us know, from their own experience, that our MPs were not closed in their offices in Brussels and Strasbourg.

For Peace, for a collective security system! No to NATO!

8 April 2024

75 years have passed since the founding of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). History and the current international situation attest to the falsehood of NATO's proclamations as a so-called defensive organisation, circumscribed to the North Atlantic area, promoting Peace and defending human rights and international law.

Demonstration of solidarity with the Palestinian people

It's been 6 months of genocide. The government must side with the Palestinian people and demand an immediate ceasefire and recognise the Palestinian State

6 April 2024

Peace needs more than these gestures, but these gestures are fundamental. This is yet another action among the hundreds of actions that have been carried out in the country so far. We cannot fail to take into account that tomorrow marks six months of an ongoing massacre, of an ongoing genocide. Six months, it seems like 40 years, but it’s been six months of death, massacre, genocide that has to stop.
