Jean-Luc MĂ©lenchon rally in Saint-Denis
Streamed live on Jun 7, 2026
Jean-Luc MĂ©lenchon spoke at the national rally launching the 2027 presidential campaign in Saint-Denis on June 7, 2026.
Seine Gegner haben ihn abgeschrieben â doch Jean-Luc MĂ©lenchon gibt nicht auf
(June 29, 2026)
»Meine Damen und Herren, Genossinnen und Genossen â hier ist Ihr Kandidat fĂŒr die PrĂ€sidentschaftswahl 2027: Jean-Luc MĂ©lenchon!,« schallte es ĂŒber die StraĂen von Saint-Denis. Anfang des Monats trafen Zehntausende in der Stadt nordöstlich von Paris zusammen. Trotz der brennenden Sonne waren sie gekommen, um den Linken MĂ©lenchon beim Start seines Wahlkampfs fĂŒr die PrĂ€sidentschaftswahl 2027 zu erleben.
Es war eine eindrucksvolle Demonstration der Wahlkampfmaschinerie, die MĂ©lenchon seit seiner ersten Kandidatur 2012 aufgebaut hat. Damals hatte er die Parti Socialiste (PS) verlassen, um links von ihr seinen eigenen Weg zu gehen.
French Elites Face a Mamdani Moment of Their Own
(July 1, 2026)
Franceâs 2027 presidential election is increasingly looking like a shoo-in for the far right, or at least a hard-fought scrape by the center. But what if something closer to a âMamdani momentâ is in store?
Democratic socialists eye 2028 White House race
(June 25, 2026)
The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are eyeing a 2028 presidential bid in the wake of recent electoral successes across the country.
DSA Co-chair Ashik Siddique told The Hill in a Thursday interview that the organization has more than 100,000 members and 200 chapters across the country. âWe want people to be talking proactively about what they would want to see in a presidential campaign,â he said. The organization is looking to see how voters would engage and what would motivate them, he added.
Mamdani slate sweeps Democratic primaries in New York, ousts 2 incumbents from Congress
U.S. Rep. Adriano Espaillat, who leads the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and is in his fifth term, was defeated by Mamdaniâs most polarizing pick, Darializa Avila Chevalier, a democratic socialist who once helped organize pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University.
U.S. Rep. Dan Goldman, a two-term incumbent, was beaten by the Mamdani-backed former city Comptroller Brad Lander, a fixture among New York progressives who has often shown sympathy to the democratic socialist movement. And another Mamdani ally, democratic socialist state Assembly Member Claire Valdez, defeated the handpicked successor of retiring U.S. Rep. Nydia Velazquez.
Mamdani challenges Democratic leaders ahead of primary elections: âThe Democratic Party must changeâ
(june 19, 2026)
Not long ago, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani was demonized by leaders of both political parties. On Thursday night, the 34-year-old democratic socialist was celebrated as a political force, the face of the regionâs sports renaissance, even the leader of âMamdanistan.â
In a rally with Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., that drew thousands to a Brooklyn theater, the emboldened mayor delivered a fiery message to Democratic leaders in Washington â and even those considering 2028 presidential bids â as he worked to elevate a slate of likeminded candidates in Tuesdayâs New York primaries.
The Rich Promised to Flee Mamdaniâs New York. They Havenât.
One of the strongest indicators of whether people or businesses are actually fleeing from a city is the housing and real estate market. During the COVID-19 pandemic, when many residents really did leave New York for the surrounding suburbs and other states, the cityâs vacancy rates soared and rents dropped with demand, leading to âCOVID discountsâ at the height of the pandemic. This trend was even more extreme for the cityâs commercial real estate, where vacancy rates doubled as more companies adopted remote work and shed office space.
Today nearly every indicator points to the opposite problem: demand is running hot and supply is lagging badly, especially when it comes to housing.
Independent candidates Supported by Your Party
Your Party is proud to support the community and independent candidates across the country in the upcoming elections. Electing these members of your community is the first step in building a real alternative, a politics rooted in and accountable to our communities, not billionaires and the professional political class. Together, we will campaign against cuts, stand up for public services and council housing and advocate for full divestment from Israeli apartheid.
These local elections are a huge opportunity to elect socialist councillors, build our bases and make change happen â please support and vote for them on May 7th!
Warum die Republik keine Angst vor dem Niedergang der âS.P.D.â haben muss
(January 16, 2018)
Im Falle eines Zusammenbruchs der âS.P.D.â wĂŒrde sich sofort eine sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands grĂŒnden.
Zur Zeit steht die im Kaiserreich gegrĂŒndete und in den letzten sechzehn Jahren Krieg und Euro-Kapitalismus zwölf Jahre an der Regierung befindliche Partei âS.P.D.â bei 18,5 Prozent. Mancher wird sich nun fragen, wie das ohne die âS.P.D.â weitergehen soll. Genau das ist ja der Punkt: gar nicht. Das ist ein Grund zur Freude, nicht zur Sorge.
Die âS.P.D.â ist eine Fantompartei. Ihre einzige Aufgabe ist es die Berliner Republik abzuwickeln, die sie nie gewollt hat und die ihrem Auftrag âVereinigte Staaten von Europaâ genauso im Weg steht wie alle anderen Demokratien auf dem Kontinent. Diese machen den Deutschen wieder einmal vor, wie einfach es sein kann neue Parteien zu grĂŒnden, wenn einen die alten verraten.
Das mĂŒssen die Deutschen offensichtlich einfach noch lernen. Denn Demokratie ist wie Autofahren. Wer sie nicht kann, der will sie nicht, der will sie auch nicht lernen, sondern lieber einen Verkehrsunfall.
Silvio RodrĂguez: âThe world is run by an authoritarian, warmongering, thieving regime. And itâs not Cubaâ
(March 26, 2026)
The image of a rifle in the hands of a singer-songwriter is strange, but not when the one wielding it is Silvio RodrĂguez, 79. The Cuban singer-songwriter has spent his entire life singing, directly or indirectly, about the Revolution, its leaders and its ideals; about the martyrs and the guerrillas. âThere are politics in my songs, but not propaganda,â says the musician, who receives EL PAĂS on Wednesday at the OjalĂĄ studios in Havana. He speaks of the governmentâs âorthodox and closedâ vision in the economic sphere, and of his commitment to a less ârigidâ socialism. âSocialism by the book is very idealistic,â he concludes. He doesnât budge an inch on his opinion of the United States government: âThe world is run by an authoritarian, warmongering, thieving regime. And itâs not Cuba.â
Jeremy Corbyn bill demands MPs approve UK military action and use of bases
It reads: âBill to require parliamentary approval for the deployment of UK armed forces and military equipment for armed conflict; to require parliamentary approval for the granting of permission by ministers for use of UK military bases and equipment by other nations for armed conflict; to require the withdrawal of that permission in circumstances where parliamentary approval is not granted; to provide for certain exemptions from these requirements; to make provision for retrospective parliamentary approval in certain circumstances; and for connected purposes.â
Greens, Your Party and Labour backbenchers build anti-war alliance in parliament
(today)
The alliance is between the resurgent Green Party, the new left-wing Your Party, the parliamentary Independent Alliance of independent MPs and Labour backbenchers.
Jeremy Corbyn, former Labour leader and parliamentary leader of the new Your Party, on Thursday tabled a parliamentary bill with cross-party backing that would require parliament‘s approval for the foreign use of British military bases.
It comes in response to Prime Minister Keir Starmer‘s decision on Sunday night to allow the US to use UK military bases for the purpose of targeting Iranian missile sites.

Corbyn set to lead Your Party in Commons after executive vote win
(February 26, 2026)
JEREMY CORBYN is set to be named parliamentary leader of Your Party after the election of its first central executive, with a mission to get the troubled party âback on track.â
Candidates endorsed by the For the Many slate, backed by Mr Corbyn, won 14 of the 24 seats on the executive.
The partyâs other co-founder, Zarah Sultana, was herself elected, but the Grassroots Left slate she endorsed had only seven candidates elected, all of them women.
Your Party leadership elections now open
In the âendorsementsâ phase, during which Your Party members could endorse candidates they wished to see on the ballot, Jeremy Corbynâs âThe Manyâ was leading in 12 seats, while Zarah Sultanaâs âGrassroots Leftâ led in another 10, alongside two Independent candidates.
(,..)
11,414 members took part. Over 350 members put themselves forward as candidates. More than 80 progressed to the next stage, the majority of which are Independents.
The Many On Tour: Middlesbrough
Join Jeremy Corbyn and The Manyâs candidate for the North East region, Hannah Hawkins in Middlesbrough this Wednesday 11th of February.
An evening of discussion on the crises facing the country and the role Your Party can play in addressing them!
Getting Your Party Back on Track
Getting Your Party back on track means campaigning tirelessly on the issues that matter most to people, from the cost-of-living to opposing racism and war.
But it also means empowering Your Party members to organise most effectively and make decisions collectively. For that, we need iron-clad democratic commitments that ensure all members can play their full part â not democratic posturing behind which small sects seek outsized influence.
So here are The Manyâs six priorities to build a truly member-led party:
1. Set Up Official Branches â so all members can get organised.
2. Defend OMOV â so all members get to decide, not the sects.
3. Establish Membersâ Policy Commissions â so policies are shaped by the people they will affect.
4. Review the Finances and Data â so all members can have trust, nothing off limits.
5. Organise the Liberation Sections â so members from every background are empowered.
6. Report Back Monthly â so the collective leadership is accountable to all members, not just itself.
Everything that happened on day 2 of Your Party Scottish conference
(February 8, 2026)
This saw members vote by 62% for a collective leadership of YPS, rejecting either a single leader or two co-leaders.
It was also decided by 59% that YPS will move towards being an organisationally independent party albeit still working in alliance with Your Party in England and Wales.
Other decisions included the direct election of YPS national officers, term limits for officer positions, dual membership of other socialist parties is allowed, and affiliation of unions is permitted.
(…)
By 70%, conference voted to stand YPS candidates in the Holyrood elections.
Yitzhak Rabin â The Last Speech (English Subtitles)
The last speech of prime minister and minister of defense Yitzhak Rabin, who was assassinated by right-wing Israeli radical on November 4th 1995 in Tel Aviv.
NO Complicity in Israeli Apartheid
Gaza may not be in the headlines, but make no mistake: the genocide continues.
Occupation continues.
Apartheid continues.
Your Party emerged from the mass movement for Palestine – and it needs to be at the heart of that struggle.
So if elected to lead Your Party, The Many are pleased to announce what our first national campaign will be: no complicity in Israeli Apartheid

Corbyn and Sultana are neck-and-neck in the race to lead Your Party
(February 4, 2026)
Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultanaâs slates are at level pegging in the battle to lead Your Party, with less than a week until the organisation holds internal elections.

Corbynâs slate â The Many â are leading in 12 seats, while Grassroots Left, which Sultana is attached to, are leading in 10.
READ | Why The Many matters
(January 26, 2026)
Read Laura Smithâs article in the Morning Star. People have been let down again and again. By governments that manage decline instead of challenging it. By parties that talk about fairness while entrenching inequality. By institutions that seem distant, unaccountable, and deaf to everyday reality.
But recognising that failure is not enough. We are here because we believe something fundamentally different is possible. Not cosmetic change. Not a rebranding of the same failed politics. But a credible alternative â rooted in organisation, democracy, and community power.
