Athens – Paris – Berlin – Now – Our solidarity must become practice If after the defeat of the Greek spring another signal was necessary, the referendum on the “Brexit” delivered it: the neoliberal Europe has started to decay openly.

Right-wing populists of all kinds and countries use this opportunity of social polarization – the … [Read more...]

The frontline of the struggle against austerity and precarization, which has shaken the … [Read more...]
