Survivors vs. the Far Right
Read the open letter:
Dear European leaders,
Europe, and Europeans, need answers - not scapegoats.
But far-right parties do not have these answers; all they offer is misery for millions. You must not gamble with our lives by cutting dirty deals with these people.
You must know what life is really like under the policies of these parties.
It means women dying because of draconian restrictions on abortion. It means families ripped apart because of attacks on LGBTQ rights. It means brutal, conspiratorial attacks on the free press, without which no democracy can thrive. It means migrants drowning in our seas and dying at our borders.
They want millions of us to become second-class citizens.
A deal with the far right offers no solutions to the problems we have. Not on climate change; not on wars; not on housing and not on decent work.
We need leaders who stand up for all Europeans and for all of our rights. We can't go backwards.
Yours,
Survivors of the Far-Right
