People Before Profit

EU Manifesto 2024

Ireland needs to send radical socialist voices to the European Parliament to challenge the hypocrisy and double standards. As socialists, we have no illusion that a few MEP’s can change its undemocratic structures, but we can expose the power of corporate lobbyists and backroom dealings. We will help to expose the rigged economy, which sees billionaires get richer, while the workers who actually create the wealth get poorer.

We can be a socialist voice that presses for real solidarity with Palestine. We can call out the double standards when the EU gives €26 billion in military supplies to Ukraine but, behind its show of ‘concern’ for Palestine, backs Israel to the hilt.

We can expose the hypocrisy of EU claims to be a ‘progressive’ body that promotes inclusion and diversity. We will demand to know why 29,250 people had to drown in the Mediterranean so that ‘fortress Europe’ could be preserved.

We live in an era where our planet is threatened by an escalating climate catastrophe. Despite all the greenwashing from big business and the volumes of speeches by the establishment parties’, global temperatures reached their highest ever recorded level in 2023. Green parties who were once prominent in highlighting environmental destruction are now part of the political establishment. They have embraced the very neoliberal measures that make it impossible to control runaway temperatures.

People Before Profit offer an alternative eco-socialist voice that will challenge the destructive logic of capitalism and fight to save our planet
