Civic space in the EU is shrinking. Rights once central to the “European way of life” are being eroded, dissent marginalised, and civil society sidelined, while corporate influence grows. Defending democracy now requires coordinated action across Europe.

Today the #HousingActionDays come to an end. But the struggle continues: the European Parliament’s housing report reinforces market logic instead of tackling the roots of the crisis. Rents rise, speculation grows, while real solutions remain sidelined.

Europe’s steel industry is in crisis — jobs at risk, decarbonization delayed. Our new study, co-produced with @communiade.bsky.social, argues: subsidies aren’t enough. It’s time for public ownership and democratic planning to secure jobs and drive a just green transition:

🔴 Day 3 of #BrüsselLinks wrapped up with a visit to @ptbbelgique.bsky.social @pvdabelgie.bsky.social and its youth organizations Comac & RedFox. We discussed party structures, political strategy and youth organizing, gaining valuable insights into building strong movements. We’ll be back! ✊

🔴 #BrüsselLinks continued with a meet-up with the newly founded @leftallianceeu.bsky.social, where participants exchanged on social progress, workers’ rights and what it means for left parties to enter government. A really open and engaging discussion — more of this, please!

🔴 Day 3 of #BrüsselLinks — our political study trip for young people — was packed with exchanges with left parties. In the morning, participants visited the @european-left.bsky.social, discussing housing, the Middle East, NATO and workers’ rights. Many thanks for the insightful exchange!

We're very happy to take part in the launch of the new report by @rosaluxeu.bsky.social and @communiade.bsky.social : 'Reclaiming Steel', hosted by MEP @marinamesure.bsky.social and starting now!
Other speakers will include representatives from @industrialleurope.bsky.social and CGT ArcelorMittal ✊

Denmark heads to the polls tomorrow amid deep political fragmentation. As centrist coalitions blur old divides, the Left fights to keep inequality and public services on the agenda against a broader rightward shift on migration and policy.

After the 10 March vote on the EU Housing Report, the European Parliament sided with market solutions and rejected rent caps. As Housing Action Days approach, the fight for housing as a right is moving beyond institutions.
