The Party of the European Left co-organised on the 4th of April 2024, together with PTB-PVDA (Belgium), AKEL (Cyprus) and Levica (Slovenia) the meeting Europe for the People, a gathering of over 25 left forces in Europe, as well as trade unionists and other social activists, to exchange opinions and concrete experiences on social, peace and climate issues.

The meeting concluded with the remarks of Walter Baier, president of the Party of the European Left, who thanked all forces and people in the event, highlighting that the meeting was about the demands for the people, such as the cost of living, climate, peace and housing. Considering the just transition a necessity, Baier considered that there won’t be social justice without a feminist approach and peace. “In times of rise of the far right, we need broad social alliances with social movements and trade unions to address the demands of the people. A strong united left in the next European elections is necessary to change Europe”, he concluded.
