“The reason that I have decided to contest this seat in the upcoming European Elections is that I want a Europe that puts people before profit. I feel it is crucial for the left to have a strong voice in these elections to take on the lies of the far right who are looking to scapegoat migrants and pit communities against them. The far right is on the rise across Europe, and we need strong voices from the left opposing their hateful views.
