As a Vice President of @europeanleft I salute the victorious mobilization of the Hungarian people,thanks to which the far right autocrat is out after 16 years.I wish them new victories in their battles for the restoration of the rule of law,human rights and media freedom.

We are deeply concerned about Big Tech AI being integrated into military & surveillance systems without democratic oversight.

We thus call for:
🔹 A global ban on fully autonomous weapons
🔹 Full transparency in military AI use
🔹 Strong protections against mass surveillance
🔹 Democratic, public-interest AI
🔹 Real citizen participation

Citizens are not powerless. The future of AI is a political choice.

🌍 An international meeting was held in #Belém (6–7/11), just ahead of the #COP30, demanding a radical overhaul of the financial system to address the climate challenge.

Organized by the journal Option Brésil, linked to @ptbrasil, the journal Économie & Politique, linked to @PCF, and IPEASA (Institute for Research on Sustainable Cultural and Environmental Studies of the Amazon), the meeting brought together environmentalists, economists, and political, social, and trade union movements from 11 countries.

We took part, with a contribution from our Vice President @ybournous. A call to action was issued at the close of the meeting. 📢

@AdonisGeorgiadi Η Κύπρος υπέστη εισβολή & κατοχή,γιατί αυτός που κάποτε σας έκανε ιδιόχειρες αφιερώσεις & οι όμοιοί του,φασίστες εγκληματίες,έκαναν πραξικόπημα κατά του Μακαρίου,δίνοντας τη δικαιολογία στην Τουρκία να εισβάλει.Αμέσως μετά,ο ιστορικός αρχηγός σας άφησε την Κύπρο μόνη.Φτάνει πια.

Το ερώτημα δεν είναι πλέον πόσους νυν και πρώην υπουργούς της ΝΔ ερευνά η ευρωπαϊκή δικαιοσύνη, αλλά πόσοι έχουν απομείνει εκτός δικογραφιών.

Αλήθεια, η @JUADN1 και η διοίκηση του @skaigr δεν έχουν τίποτα να σχολιάσουν για τη δήλωση του @dimoikonomu; Γιατί παραμένουν άφωνοι; Ταυτίζονται με την θέση "καλύτερα νεκρός παρά σε καρότσι (sic)"; Μας οφείλουν άμεσα εξηγήσεις ως συνδικάτο και ως εργοδοσία.

[Γιάννης Μπουρνούς - Yiannis Bournous @ybournous]

Ocalan's call for the dissolution of the PKK,the disarmament of all armed groups and the initiation of a peaceful and democratic reconciliation process that will respect different identities, is a historic development that should be embraced by all progressive forces.

[Γιάννης Μπουρνούς - Yiannis Bournous @ybournous]

Europe desperately needs stronger progressive forces to confront the alt right dystopia and fight for better living conditions, higher incomes and decent housing. My best wishes to @dieLinke for tomorrow's #GermanElections !

🚨 The EU must change course! 🚨

The war in Ukraine cannot be solved on the battlefield. The European Left calls for diplomacy, a ceasefire, and real peace efforts—not escalation. ✊
