Young European Greens

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 🫂 🔗 fyeg.org/news/the-right…

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.

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 !

🏳️‍🌈 Sign the petition to fight the (Or)ban on Budapest Pride. 🫶 Pride is a powerful occasion to feel included and welcomed in a community. 📣 Pride is a celebration and a protest. 🙅 We will not be silenced. tilt.green/pride

🇷🇸 Students in Serbia are unstoppable! 🚨 The situation is continuing to evolve, with the resignations of the Serbian PM & Mayor of Novi Sad. 👉 The students are marching from Belgrade to Novi Sad, where another 24h blockade is planned for the weekend.

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.

Little reminder to all the rich CEOs out there: If every billionaire on earth stopped working, no one would notice. The same can’t be said about workers. When we unite, we take back what’s ours. Organise, join unions & let’s fight for social justice together ❤️
