Here sit... Read More "The Red Fortress in the Blue Sea: Why Graz Has Become the Litmus Test for Progressive Politics"

»Rosa Luxemburg goes Europe« was the slogan under which the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation launched the project of establishing a Brussels office in 2008. Brussels is not only the centre of European politics, but also a significant centre of world politics, particularly with regard to north-south policy. Brussels is also the headquarters of NATO. There are thus many political divides that run through Brussels, many of which may not always be completely visible at first sight. These different fields of action are what determines the strategic orientation of our Brussels Office.

Grace Blakeley: The EU Energy Prices are Broken


By clicking on the button, you agree that your data will be transmitted to YouTube.

Europe produces more and more renewable electricity that costs almost nothing to generate, yet our energy bills keep rising. Why? Grace Blakeley explains why the European Union's current electricity market system is broken, why it remains vulnerable to repeated energy crises, and how consumers bear the costs while large energy companies reap windfall profits. She shows why we need a democratic, publicly owned energy system to deliver affordable and sustainable energy for all — even if achieving it would require a major political shift that will anger the rich.
