Overview
Progressive International is an international organization uniting and mobilizing progressive left-wing activists and organizations.
Origins
It was launched after the Democracy in Europe Movement (DiEM25) and The Sanders Institute announced an open call for progressive forces to form a unified front. Formally founded and launched on 11 May 2020, the International claims to counter what it calls the resurgence of authoritarian nationalism worldwide as well as the rise of disaster capitalism.
Positions
In October 2020, Progressive International said that it was "particularly concerned about the integrity of the presidential elections in Bolivia" and sent an observer group made up of Members of Parliament from around Europe to observe the election.
Lewica Razem left Progressive International in March 2022 due what Razem claimed was "the absence of declaration recognising Ukraine’s sovereignty and an absolute condemnation of Russian imperialism". The Ukrainian Commons journal also resigned from Progressive International.
