They are an implication of willingness for resistance in Europe. The European Left stand up for free education and free access to every institution of education. We speak for independent education and research! And we decline the privatising of the educational system fundamentally.

Instead we plead for the construction and democratisation of the European educational system as well on behalf of us in the European Parliament as on the behalf of the parliamentarians of our member parties in their national parliaments. We turn against every form of exclusion and discrimination based on social background, gender or nationality.
High quality education has to be accessible and free of charge for everyone.That is why our solidarity lies with all protesting und striking students in the whole Austria as well as with everyone supporting them.

Chairman of the European Left
