39(P) - Building the Unified European Left ft. Marc Botenga (Patreon)

Marc Botenga (@BotengaM) joins us this week to discuss the present and future of the European left. What is the context for the present-day European left? The Maastricht Treaty and the formation of the EU particularly in the service of freeing capital. Austerity policies and the far right reinforcing each other. What are the lessons from Syriza? What does a left-wing position on european foreign policy look like?

Marc Botenga (European A airs, Workers' Party of Belgium [PTB-PVDA]) works as a political advisor for the European United Le — Nordic Green Le (GUE/NGL) in the European Parliament.
