Antarsya Political Party

The Greek Antarsya political party, whose name is an acronym for the Front of the Greek Anticapitalist Left, is a far-left coalition in Greece that was established in 2009. It brings together a variety of leftist groups and individuals, including Trotskyists,…   Maoists, eco-socialists, and anti-capitalist activists, united by their opposition to capitalism and their desire for radical social, economic, and political reforms.<br /><br />Antarsya's values and political platform are deeply rooted in anti-capitalism. The party advocates for the overthrow of capitalism and the establishment of a socialist system. This includes the nationalization of key industries, banks, and services, putting them under the control of workers and the community to ensure they serve the public interest rather than private profit. Antarsya also calls for significant reforms in labor rights, aiming to protect and expand workers' rights, increase wages, and reduce working hours.<br /><br />Environmental protection and sustainability are also central to Antarsya's agenda. The party promotes policies that aim to address climate change and environmental degradation through a transition to renewable energy sources and the sustainable management of natural resources. <br /><br />In terms of social policies, Antarsya is committed to promoting equality and social justice. This includes fighting discrimination in all its forms, whether based on race, gender, sexual orientation, or any other basis. The party supports the rights of migrants and refugees, advocating for open borders and the right to asylum.<br /><br />Antarsya is also characterized by its strong stance against the European Union's austerity measures, which were particularly relevant during the Greek government-debt crisis. The party argues that these measures have had devastating effects on the Greek population, leading to increased poverty, unemployment, and social inequality. Instead, Antarsya proposes exiting the Eurozone and the EU, cancelling the Greek public debt, and reclaiming monetary sovereignty as part of its strategy to rebuild the Greek economy on a socialist basis.<br /><br />Overall, Antarsya's values and policies reflect a radical left perspective, emphasizing anti-capitalism, workers' rights, environmental sustainability, social justice, and opposition to austerity and neoliberal policies.Læs mere
