MADRID, 1 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Izquierda Unida (IU) organizes this weekend a conference with historians, political scientists, philosophers and sociologists to analyze the phenomenon of the rise of the extreme right in recent years, as well as to explore solutions to reverse its progress, both in the political field as cultural.
The conference, which will take place on Saturday and Sunday in Madrid, is organized by the formation together with the group in the European Parliament ‘The Left’ and the opening will be carried out by the federal spokesperson for IU, Sira Rego, the secretary general of CCOO, Unai Sordo, and the journalist and historian Pablo Batalla.
Under the title of ‘New rights, old storms. Turning around the reactionary moment’, the philosophers Elisabeth Duval and Clara Ramas, who was also a deputy for Más Madrid in the Madrid Assembly, or the professor of linguistics at the University of Oviedo, Enrique del Teso, will participate in the debates.
The historians Pablo Stefanoni, Jaime Caro, Gabriela Lima Kilian Cuerda, the influencer and professor Natalí Incaminato and the sociologists Iago Moreno (member of the IU federal management), Guillermo Fernández and Ion Andoni del Amo, the political scientist Daniel Guisado or the head of Training at IU and director of the Foundation for Critical Studies (FEC), Juan Ponte.
Within the program of the event, the speakers of the event will discuss the ability of the extreme right to pervert with negative connotations historical causes or flag values ??of the progressive movement, such as feminism or environmentalism.
They will also speak about the international connections of the extreme right and if there is a kind of ‘Reactionary International’, according to the program of the conference.
On the other hand, there will be reflection workshops on the political initiatives that the left must materialize to “reconquer common sense” and counteract the “current strength of the new rights”. The objective is to elaborate a decalogue of action proposals.
