The city of Paris will become the scenario of the Third Meeting of Internationalist Forces with the NPA-R as host. For the new exchange of opinions between different currents that claim proletarian internationalism, the call, which can be read at the foot of this note, proposes to conserve the character of the previous Meetings.

The Promoting Committee is in charge of compiling and publishing the texts presented in the Internationalist Correspondence Bulletin. The oral debate will be spread over three days in plenary sessions with interventions and replies. The first and second days will be devoted to international issues and the third day will focus on the experiences of revolutionaries in trade unions and workplaces.

The first two Meetings, both held in Milan, Italy (2023 and 2024) exposed a varied arc of opposing positions that resulted in the lack of common actions. At the same time they had the positive aspect of generating a space that offered the opportunity to establish links between organizations with similar perspectives, as happened between the International Trotskyist Opposition (ITO), the League for the 5th International (L5I) and the International Socialist League (ISL).

The ISL, which participated in the Italian editions of the Meeting, will also be present in France with a delegation of comrades from different countries who daily militate for the regroupment of revolutionaries on the road to form a new international.

As a contribution to the day of exchange on the work of the revolutionary left in the unions and workplaces, from the LIS we have presented written contributions from Argentina, Belarus, Ukraine and Kenya, based on their activities in the Argentine, Belarusian, Ukrainian and Kenyan workers’ movement.

To contribute to the debate on international issues, the ISL elaborated the text entitled “New world order or more disorder” referring to the profound transformations promoted by Donald Trump in his second term and the challenges for revolutionaries. Also several parties of our organization are presenting texts on the political situation in their countries.
