Fyra år av ryskt anfallskrig mot Ukraina.
Europeiska Vänsteralliansen @leftallianceeu.bsky.social kommer fortsätta stå upp mot Putins imperialism - och stötta Ukrainas rätt till frihet och självbestämmande !
We condemn the US attacks in Venezuela.
As we stated in our Political Declaration, “We will continue to demand just peace in the face of imperialism and military escalation.” Accordingly, we oppose the acts of aggression now unfolding in Venezuela, which are in breach of international law.
We are happy to welcome Sinistra Italiana in @leftallianceeu.bsky.social
Together we will keep building hope and resistance - a future of social and ecological justice in Europe. 🚩✊🏽
When the left listens, organises and offers real and hopeful solutions, it wins.
And we are getting ready to push this forward across Europe !

Israel is illegally boarding the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters.
The humanitarian Flotilla was sailing to Gaza on a peaceful mission, in compliance with international law, to deliver humanitarian aid and put an end to the illegal Israeli siege in Gaza.
Last night, the Global Sumud Flotilla was under attack.
But the crew is more determined than ever to stop the illegal Israeli humanitarian blockade and deliver humanitarian aid.
We demand safe passage for the flotilla, the full suspension of the EU-Israeli agreement, and the end to the genocide.
The European Left Alliance (ELA) has just wrapped up its founding General Assembly in Porto!
