The European Crisis & the Rise of SYRIZA and PODEMOS

Joint event between Cambridge Syriza, Circulo Podemos and Cambridge Marxist Society

In Greece and Spain, both of which are at the centre of the European Crisis, left wing parties are growing at tremendous speed. Syriza, which only received 13 seats in Greek Parliament in 2009, won on 149 seats just two seats short of an absolute majority on Sunday. Podemos, which launched last January, have got 1.24m votes in the European Elections in May and are now leading the Spanish polls. After the historical win of Syriza, join us at 7pm in the Munby Room, King’s College, to discuss this amazing resurgence of the European left, its future and the role that Marxists can play in this movement.

Speakers:
Thomas Jeffrey Miley, Circulo Podemos Cambridge
Haris Rotsos, Syriza Cambridge
Arturo Zoffmann Rodriguez, Oxford Marxist Society & Circulo Podemos Oxford
