Who we are

NEDA is a revolutionary socialist organisation in Cyprus, having members in both sides of the divide.

The stalemate in the national question is an outcome of the conflicting interests of the capitalists, now expressed through the conflict around the natural gas extractions, that can only bring more austerity, division and war.

We believe that only the united struggles of Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot working people and youth together with other ethnic minorities, refugees and migrants living on the island, connecting their struggle internationally can bring a solution to the national question.

In both sides of the divide, working people and youth are facing with austerity, privatisation and dissolution of the welfare state. The environment has been under attack through the neoliberal measures of the governments.

NEDA is part of struggles with local and international campaigns. The last couple of years through the Initiative against gold extraction – we participate in the campaign Kazma Bırak – Μας σκάβουν τον λάκκο a coordination in Greece, Turkey and Cyprus against the gas extractions and the war, and since the end of 2021 we participate in the group Özgür ve Asi /Μαχητικές κι Ελεύθερες against sexism, homophobia, for a society with equal rights for all. 

NEDA is participating in the international initiative – Internationalist Standpointbased on a common understanding of the objective situation and the deep crisis of the capitalist system, and ascribes to common strategic aims about the struggle for a socialist society, based on workers’ democracy, public ownership of the means of production, a planned economy, liberty and a multiparty system. We are united in the struggle for the building of mass revolutionary parties, as the necessary tools to bring about social change. We consider the lack of such mass revolutionary parties as the biggest obstacle on the road to a revolutionary reshaping of society.  

NEDA is aiming at building a new mass left formation, based on a socialist programme that will unite the working people all over Cyprus in the fight against nationalism, fascism, sexism, homophobia, and the destruction of the environment. NEDA aims at connecting and uniting these struggles raising at the same time the need to overthrow capitalism and build a Socialist United Federal Cyprus as part of a Socialist Federation of Europe and the Middle East on a voluntary basis.
