Was ist eigentlich mit dem Brexit? Hilary Wainwright von red pepper im Interview mit Haris Golemis – zur Coronakrise und Brexit.

Dienstag, 5. Mai 19:00 bis 20:00

auf zoom

Left scholars, intellectuals, politicians, activists speak to transform! Europe on the social, political and economic implications of the current pandemic crisis.

As humanity faces the catastrophic COVID-19 pandemic, unprecedented in recent times, the Left internationally must address this crisis with both short and long term action, analysis and planning. We are active day by day, driven by the needs of our communities – this is already reshaping the way we do politics. We are building solidarity networks and launching campaigns to protect and work alongside the people that are hardest hit by the crisis. At the same time, we must think strategically and present alternatives for the future. There can be no going back to the vicious circle of austerity and poverty: we cannot allow the global reimposition of a failed system on the people. The radical left will pose alternatives to reinvent socialist politics for the 21st century: to build a new society that empowers and liberates us all.

Transform! Europe, the European network of political foundations and think tanks of the radical left, presents a series of interviews with left-wing thinkers to discuss these crucial issues and plan for the future we want to build. They will take place via Zoom and are open to the public on registration. In the second half of the interview, the audience can pose questions to the invited speaker!
