GKS calls for an “updated socialist power” at the international level in the Socialist Gazte Topagune
- From 31 October to 2 November the Socialist Youth Coordinator and Ikasle Abertzaleak have held the Socialist Gazte Topagune in Altsasu (Navarra). They have put in the spotlight “regressive projects” that are spreading in Europe and in Euskal Herria and have said that they will not let those tendencies gain strength.
Different activities, events and round tables have been held for three days. The organizers have pointed out that "the multitude" has come together, and that in the demonstration "thousands" of people have followed.
The central event took place on 2 November, following a demonstration in the streets of Alsasua. GKS and AI are committed.
The organizers of the Socialist Gazte Topagune have called for the “international approach” and have announced that they will work to “consolidate a strong socialist alternative” in the Basque Country.

In the speech, the “regressive projects” that are spreading in Europe and in the Basque Country have been put to the spotlight. They have added that far-right political and collective parties share two pillars: on the one hand, racism and machismo, and on the other, “the commitment to authoritarian capitalism”. GKS and AI point out that the Socialist Movement is not going to let these trends take hold. Workers of different ages, genders, religions and origins have committed themselves to “building pathways to the struggle of socialism”.
International landscape
“From the war context,” they warned. GKS has stressed that war is not random and has criticised the Western States for opting for war. He added that the consequences of these “criminal policies” are “the usual ones”, that is, the working class and, above all, the working people of the periphery. They have reminded the Middle East and called for the disappearance of Israel. They have shown their solidarity with Palestine, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen, “as well as with all the countries that the imperialist states of the world oppress and exploit.”
The central point of the proposed liberation of working women has historically been the issue of care as one of the main themes that characterize our oppression. On the one hand, the poor conditions that workers in the surveillance sector have as a result of the lack of social... [+]
