We call on you to pay urgent attention to the situation in Belgium, where a right-wing and far-right government is openly serving the interests of capital and imperialism against the working class.
The measures being imposed are not isolated reforms, but part of a broader offensive by the bourgeoisie against workers, and especially against women of our class. These policies aim to intensify exploitation, discipline labor, and push women back into economic dependence.
Pension reform:
Extending working life and imposing penalties for early retirement is a direct attack on workers. Women, whose labor has long been devalued through part-time work and unpaid reproductive labor, will be the first to suffer.
Cuts to unemployment benefits:
These measures punish those already exploited by the system. Women, who disproportionately bear the burden of childcare, domestic labor, and care for dependents, are being stripped of basic social protection and pushed further into precarity.
Expansion of precarious labor (flexi-jobs):
This is the normalization of instability as a condition of life for the working class. It deepens insecurity and makes collective organization more difficult.
Destruction of labor protections:
The normalization of night work and unpaid overtime reflects the logic of capitalism: maximize profit at the expense of workers’ health, time, and dignity.
Youth exploitation:
Lowering the age of student labor while increasing the cost of education transforms young people into a reserve army of cheap labor, reinforcing class inequality from an early age.
Attack on public services:
Massive cuts to public spending are a direct transfer of wealth from the working class to capital. Transport, healthcare, education, and other essential services are being dismantled for profit.
These policies form a coherent class project: to weaken workers, destroy solidarity, and reinforce capitalist domination. Women are particularly targeted, as their economic independence is systematically undermined.
At the same time:
The state finds billions for militarization and imperialist alliances, committing to increased military spending for NATO. This reveals the true priorities of the system: war abroad, austerity at home.
Imperialist wars are not our wars. They serve the interests of capital, not the people.
Our position is clear:
No to capitalism and exploitation.
No to imperialism and militarization.
No to NATO as an instrument of capitalist domination.
For the unity of the working class.
For the emancipation of women through the struggle against capitalism.
For a socialist alternative built by and for the workers.
