European Anticapitalist Left
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The European Anti Capitalist Left (EACL) is an informal network for European anticapitalist left wing parties. EACL met for the first time in Lisbon in March 2000 with the representation of the Scottish Socialist Party, the Portuguese Left Bloc, the Danish Red-Green Alliance, the French LCR, and the Turkish ÖDP.
Since its initial meeting the EACL meets every six months.
Apart from the above mentioned parties RESPECT, SWP and SP from United Kingdom, Déi Lénk / La Gauche from Luxembourg, Espacio Alternativo from the Spanish state, Zutik from the Basque Country-Spain and SolidartéS from Switzerland participate in general. The Italian PRC and the Greek Synaspismos participate regularly as observers.
EACL is opposed to the construction of a capitalist Europe and is unanimously rejecting the proposed Constitutional Treaty for the EU. At its meeting in London, November 2005, the EACL agreed to increase its cooperation and make an effort to become more visible to the public. This entails common European wide initiatives and the setting up of an EACL website.
The relations between EACL and the Party of the European Left are not clarified, as several parties operate within both European structures.
