🌹Young progressives are shaping Europe’s future. At the #17thYESCongress, over 200 delegates came together for bold debates and to elect their new leadership. Congratulations to @MPereiraJoao and Irja Vaateri on becoming YES President & YES Secretary General. From housing and…
The rise of the far right is one of Europe’s greatest challenges today. No longer on the margins, it is shaping policies and entering governments. At #17thYESCongress, PES Secretary General @GiacomoFilibeck stressed the urgency of the moment - warning that if progressives don’t…
Rest. Dignity. Protection. All workers deserve them. Millions of Europeans work without predictable schedules, fair contracts, or real rest. The right to paid holidays and to disconnect is not a luxury,it’s a right. Mental health, safety, and family life depend on it. We fight…
Gaza is starving. Aid is being blocked. Civilians are dying. PES President, Stefan Löfven: “We cannot uphold human rights selectively. That’s why I call for the EU-Israel Association Agreement to be suspended until international law is fully respected.” Read more:…
Almost 60,000 Palestinians killed, many shot dead begging for food. @kajakallas, how many more massacres before acting against the Israeli government? We expect you to send the “agreement” or “understanding” with Israel. We are waiting. Credibility needs action, not words.
The killing of civilians seeking aid in Gaza is indefensible. I spoke again with @gideonsaar to recall our understanding on aid flow and made clear that IDF must stop killing people at distribution points. All options remain on the table if Israel doesn’t deliver on its pledges
🇳🇴 Today, we remember the 77 innocent lives lost in the horrific terrorist attacks in Oslo and on Utøya, 14 years ago. We stand in solidarity with the survivors, the families, and our friends in the Norwegian Labour Party youth movement, AUF. These attacks remind us that hatred…
We strongly support the call by progressive leaders from Latin America and Europe to defend democracy against authoritarian threats, growing inequalities, and disinformation. Democracy is not just a system. It’s a shared commitment to peace, social justice, and cohesion. It must…
Cinco voces progresistas, un mismo compromiso. Hoy viajaré a Chile para abordar los riesgos a los que se enfrentan nuestras democracias. Trabajamos con la convicción de que la democracia es el mejor camino para la paz, la cohesión social y las oportunidades para todos. Comparto…
Europe needs bold investment. At last week’s PES Economic & Financial Network meeting, progressives pushed for a stronger EU budget, fair rules to support clean industry, and new ways to turn savings into social and green investments. Read more: news.pes.eu/44UfLiu
Europe stands at a crossroads. Rising threats to democracy demand action. From 16–18 Oct, the PES Congress in Amsterdam will unite progressives to drive real change for justice, equality, and a sustainable future. This is not politics as usual. This is our moment to act. Read…
The family coming into action! For the #17thYESCongress, PES Deputy Sec-Gen @yonnecpolet, S&D group President @IratxeGarper and PES Women President @zgurmai_EN came together with young socialists, including @MPereiraJoao, newly elected YES President, and @RemiBoussemart,…
✊ On #NelsonMandela International Day, we remember and honour his fight for justice and democracy. As we strive to build more equal societies, we are reminded of his wise words—to ensure fairness, we must overcome poverty and provide opportunities for everyone.
🔴The 20-month prison sentence against Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu is a political move. Not justice. We condemn this attempt by Erdoğan to silence opposition and block future presidential challengers. We fully stand with İmamoğlu, CHP, and all those fighting for democracy in…
"We cannot greenlight the proposed budget as it does not serve the interests of Europeans. We cannot do more with less. Linking access to EU funding to austerity measures is a no-go." @IratxeGarper on the MFF post-2027. More in the press release: socialistsanddemocrats.eu/newsroom/budge…
Today, on the European Day for the Victims of the Global Climate Crisis, we remember the lives lost and the lives forever changed in Europe and around the world. As we increasingly experience longer and more intense extreme weather conditions, the EU must strengthen climate…
.@EU_Commission’s plan to delay retaliation against the US until August 1st is worrying. We’re facing absurd 30% tariffs despite full willingness to negotiate. We need leverage in these negotiations, otherwise Trump will only want more. @kvanbrempt @berndlange @brandobenifei
