We deplore the Knesset vote on sovereignty over the West Bank. It goes against int'l law, and is also a breach of the Two-State Solution principle, the one viable path for peaceful peace in the Middle East. We call again on all Member States to recognize the State of Palestine.
At tomorrow’s summit, the Commission must press for the lifting of China’s export restrictions on critical raw materials and pursue a sustainable solution. The green and digital transitions are too important for political games. Time to cooperate to tackle shared challenges.
We back @MartaKosEU’s call: rooting out Russian malign influence is vital — but so is safeguarding NABU and SAPO’s independence. Ukraine must continue working with EC and international experts on #ruleoflaw reforms to preserve its EU path, including tightened security checks.
Frank discussion with @Svyrydenko_Y and @taraskachka. Expressed serious concerns over the latest Rule of Law developments, especially changes adopted to the law on NABU & SAPO. We'll continue working with Ukraine on the necessary rule of law reforms & progress on its EU path.
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 commemorate the victims of the Utøya massacre, a harrowing act of far-right terrorism that shook the world in 2011. This anniversary is not only a time of mourning, but a call to protect our communities from extremism and never waver in the struggle for a fairer world!
Imagine waiting hours for concert tickets, only to see the price double at checkout-no warning. That’s dynamic pricing. It hurts fans, passengers & shoppers, just to boost profits. Consumers' rights over corporate gain! @lauballarin ✒️Full article here: euobserver.com/green-economy/…

51 years since Türkiye illegally invaded Cyprus. We don’t forget. We condemn the ongoing Turkish occupation of 37% of the Republic of Cyprus and reiterate our call to Türkiye to withdraw its troops and restore the rights and freedoms of all Cypriots. This concerns all of us…
We’re grateful to have @thomasbajada and @EmmaRafowicz from @TheProgressives for reflecting with us about mental health and the online world 📲 #17thYESCongress #EuropePoweredByYouth
👉🏼 Tonight we close the day with the @TheProgressives panel “A socialist response to the right and far right's attacks against civil society” Youth movements and civil society are directly targeted by the far right, but we won’t step back ✊🏽
Don’t miss this week’s S&D Times with the latest updates on our upcoming activities. ✊ @YESocialists Congress 🇪🇺🇨🇳EU-China Summit 🌹Utøya commemoration socialistsanddemocrats.eu/newsroom/sd-ti…
Honored to close our parliamentary year with my socialist family. 🌹 Thank you, Enric & Sophie, for your leadership at @YESocialists. You’ve inspired a generation to lead with courage and vision. The future is yours. We stand with you. #17YESCongress

Erdoğan’s repressive regime has once again sentenced Ekrem İmamoğlu. This is not justice – it is political vengeance, plain and simple. But İmamoğlu is not alone. Millions across Türkiye – and around the world – continue to carry the torch of freedom and democracy. The European…
🇪🇺 The EU stands for equality and inclusion. Listening to civil society and progressive voices is a step in the right direction. Now let’s turn words into action and make equal treatment a reality for all! @TheProgressives
Very positive that the Commission has listened to NGOs, campaigners and the united efforts of progressive political groups in the EP, and decided not to withdraw the proposed Equal Treatment Directive. We must do more to end discrimination — as soon as possible. @TheProgressives
"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…
EPP, S&D, Renew and Greens/EFA joint statement on MFF. Leaders call for an ambitious MFF with increased genuine own resources, with rule of law conditionality, respecting Parliament’s prerogatives, and share concerns with National and Regional plans. We can't do more with less.
