  • GKS (Gazte Koordinaketa Sozialista) concluded its four-day 'Topagune' event in Elizondo, attended by over 4,000 youth, with a strategic call to rebuild a Communist Party at the European level and establish an international Socialist state for workers.
  • The organization emphasized the need to move beyond reformism, promoting structured revolutionary positions as a viable alternative to institutional politics.
  • While the group aims to grow locally to gain decision-making power, they confirmed they will not participate in the 2027 municipal elections.

Short-Term Objectives and Housing Policy

  • GKS and its student wing, IAS, confirmed their support for the general strike on housing scheduled for November 11 across the state.
  • They demand the expropriation of speculators and a housing plan based on social needs rather than market-driven reformist programs.

Basque National Liberation and Class Struggle

  • The movement declared the current autonomous framework for the Basque Country exhausted, arguing that national liberation cannot be achieved through inter-class projects with the bourgeoisie.
  • The goal is an 'Independent Socialist Basque State' that includes specific linguistic policies to protect Basque speakers across all seven territories.

Anti-Fascist Strategy and Social Critique

  • During a mass demonstration in Elizondo, leaders criticized the idea that anti-fascism can be reduced to voting, urging instead the formation of grassroots committees in workplaces and educational centers.
  • They condemned the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) for maintaining restrictive laws and the Basque Nationalist Party (PNV) for allegedly shielding police impunity.
  • The event included debates on historical materialism, the ecological crisis, and the commodification of sexuality, alongside displays of revolutionary art and musical performances.
