Loss - the belief in progress and the reality of experiences of loss.

* Grievance-fuelled violence at home and psychological harm reduction

"The family violence workforce is stretched in Western societies... 20 out of 38 reviewed cases of fatal family violence were "grievance-fuelled"...The Fixated Grievance Perpetrator Intervention Pilot brings together experts in forensic psychology and psychiatry, criminology, policing, perpetrator intervention and victim support."

* The role of loss within society
Andreas Reckwitz 's book 'Loss, A Modern Predicament, The first comprehensive study of the role of loss within society", 2025 explains loss not only from a psychological perspective, but also from a sociological one.

"Loss has come to occupy a central position in late modernity – whether in the consequences of climate change or the entrenchment of negative expectations about the future, the ‘losers’ of post-industrial modernisation or the collective processing of ‘historical wounds’ and of who is acknowledged as the victims and perpetrators of these crimes, in a heightened psychological awareness of vulnerability, in political populism, a nostalgia for things past, or programmes of resilience."

"Loss is the bread and butter of populism." >>

Global Progressive Mobilisation in Barcelona.

Sánchez seeks to rally global left against rise of far right Politico Europe.

(This has not been widely, if at all, reported in the UK, including on the left.)

Barcelona summit of left-wing leaders aims to counter the advances of populist and nationalist movements.

“More than 3,000 participants from over 100 organizations are convening in Barcelona for the launch of the “Global Progressive Mobilization,” a new initiative aimed at strengthening international cooperation among left-leaning parties and activists.

The experiment is about organizing internationally, Stefan Löfven, president of the European Socialist Party (PES), told POLITICO. “Democracy is increasingly under pressure, and progressives are stepping up globally.”

The site: Global Progressive Mobilisation.

“As the world faces critical turmoil, the Global Progressive Mobilisation (GPM) offers a necessary alternative to conservative and far-right forces. This platform aims to make progressive solutions visible and credible, proving they are the key to humanity’s prosperity. By uniting regions and generations, we will defend democracy and advance social justice. That is why we will come together in Barcelona, Spain, on 17–18 April 2026 for the inaugural Global Progressive Mobilisation — to turn conviction into action and ambition into results.”

Socialists and Democrats.

The S&D Enlarged Bureau delegation will participate in a range of debates alongside more than 3,000 participants from over 100 progressive organisations worldwide. Notable participants include the Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro Sánchez; the President of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva; the President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro; the President of Uruguay, Yamandú Orsi; the Vice-President of Ghana, Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang; the Leader of the Opposition in India, Rahul Gandhi; the President of the European Council, António Costa; Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Ressa; the President of the Center for American Progress, Neera Tanden; and the Mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, who will join online.

Czechia election: The spectre of populism returns.

The Czech Republic could face instability after the upcoming parliamentary election.

Although the right-wing populist party of ex-PM Andrej Babiš is well ahead in the polls, it is not expected to get a majority.
