Today, we woke up to the news that our friend Cemre Nayır was arrested in Turkey with 90 other activists accused of organising illegal demonstrations. The right to protest is not a crime. It’s a cornerstone of a free society. Read our joint statement with CDN here:

✊ We must tackle the social crises facing Europe. 🤝 Together, we will build a fairer, more equal Europe for future generations. 🌻 Our co-chair @VulaTsetsi & Committee Member @jelenamilos86 attended our Social Justice Lab, speaking with @fyeg on tackling wealth inequality.

If you answered yes to any of the questions, then you must act now. Sign our petition to remind Ursula Von Der Leyen to not fall into this authoritarian trap. Now more than ever, we need to stick together and protect our rights 🫂 🔗

Civil society organisations are the backbone of European democracy. If their voices get silenced, no one is there to advocate for your rights & all the power will be concentrated in the hands of corporations and people like Orbán.

Their target? 🎯 - Civil society organisations In a recent report, MCC Brussels is advocating for EU funds to be taken away from organisations claiming they are a part of a "pro-EU propaganda machine".

If you got 💯, we're sad to inform you that the things you care about and affect you are under attack because... Orbán is exporting his authoritarian far-right policies on gender, migration, climate and more into European politics through the Hungarian think tank MCC Brussels.

After destroying democracy in Hungary, Orbán is now coming for you & your rights everywhere in Europe. So we ask the question: ⚡️HOW WOKE ARE YOU?⚡️ It's time to find out in our exclusive “everything the far right is attacking” quiz !

In 2025 and always, anti-fascism is in. We cannot sit quietly while Austria’s conservatives hand the keys of government to fascists. Europe has to take a stand.

[3/3] We emphasise the urgent need for a comprehensive and lasting peace that addresses the root causes of the conflict and ensures stability for the future.

[2/3] We welcome the ceasefire as an important step toward alleviating the suffering in Gaza. However, history reminds us that ceasefires are fragile and require steadfast commitment from all parties involved.

[1/3] As the ceasefire is announced, FYEG calls for lasting peace through justice.
