Ahead of the EU Parliamentary Democracy Forum, progressive deputies from the @pes.eu family joined forces with the @socialistsanddemocrats.eu. In Europe today, fundamental rights and civil liberties are in danger. We are urging stronger enforcement of the rule of law to counter the extremist threat

1/3 🧵 💬 @ymaniatis.bsky.social The Pact should be the basis for our multilateral cooperation by engaging not only governments, but also civil societies, local actors and youth.

We are committed to simplifying laws to make the lives of citizens and businesses easier, but we will not support a deregulation agenda that would recklessly undermine the EU’s digital legal framework. www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu/newsroom/sds...

We are glad to see that the 2030 Consumer Agenda include key actions to foster fairer digital markets, sustainable consumption & stronger enforcement and redress. We welcome specific commitments on the Digital Fairness Act & the revision of the consumer protection cooperation regulation.

1/2🧵 💬 Nikos Papandreou The Pact for the Mediterranean comes at a crucial moment of global change. Despite cooperation efforts, inequalities between north and south have widened.

1/2 🧵 💬 @iratxegarper.bsky.social Thirty years after the Barcelona Process, its values still guide us, but we must learn from past shortcomings. Europe must show real commitment to a partnership of equals, grounded in human rights, and engagement with civil society and the youth.

Tune in our Med Day to hear what we think of the Commission proposal for a Pact for the Mediterranean. And our vision to enhance cooperation on both sides of the basin. Together with key stakeholders, including former EC President Romano Prodi. LIVE ➡️ www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu

Join us tomorrow for MED DAY, marking 30 yrs of the Barcelona Process. We’ll assess the Commission’s proposal for a Pact for the Mediterranean and share our vision for cooperation rooted in human rights, delivering for people on both sides of the basin. www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu/events/sd-me...

🚨 Due to the escalation of the war and the humanitarian catastrophe in Sudan, particularly after the mass killings committed by the Rapid Support Forces in El Fasher, we push for a plenary debate and resolution on Sudan at the plenary session next week.

We continue to support rebuilding relations with the UK and deepening our partnership with the Labour government.✊ Our aim: progress on citizens’ rights, youth mobility & fair cooperation protecting the Single Market. An S&D delegation is in the UK to reaffirm our commitment.

Today, negotiations kick off with EU member states on new rules to protect trainees from discrimination and abuse. The Parliament’s lead negotiator @aliciahoms.bsky.social will defend Parliament’s ambitious mandate and stand up for trainees. Young Europeans are not cheap or free labour!

EU’s farmers face low incomes, rising costs, and climate shocks. The right offers only less ambition and less Europe, leaving them exposed. We propose a strong, well-funded CAP, a fair transition, and EU tools that protect farmers instead of leaving them behind. @iratxegarper.bsky.social

Tune in our high-level agriculture event starting now. On post-2027 Common Agricultural Policy and the Commission's national plans, with key representatives from the farming and food sectors, as well as Commissioner @christopherhansen.bsky.social. Watch here: www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu

It was not easy, but we made it! We have an agreement among the Member States, the 🇪🇺Commission and the 🇪🇺Parliament for an EU budget 2026. Our negotiator Nils Usakovs achieved the following increases on top of what the Commission had proposed:

What's on the progressive agenda next week? ✊protecting trainees from exploitation 💻Digital Omnibus 👩‍🌾live event on the future of farmers and more in our latest newsletter 👇 www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu/newsroom/sd-...

The EU Parliament today adopted a report drafted by S&D MEP Marko Vešligaj, setting out an ambitious agenda for women’s rights and gender equality. More here ⤵️ www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu/newsroom/des...

The EU must deliver bold legislation to stop tax avoidance by big companies. Today, the Parliament has shown that a fair and simple tax policy is possible. www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu/newsroom/tim...

Today, in a vote on the Sustainability Omnibus, the conservative EPP Group and far-right groups in the 🇪🇺Parliament joined forces to eliminate companies' responsibility for the damage they cause to people and the planet. www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu/newsroom/epp...

Today, thanks to the S&D’s tireless efforts to bring pro-European forces together, the European Parliament approved the EU target of cutting emissions by 90% by 2040 — sending a strong signal to world leaders gathering at COP30. Europe once again demonstrates global leadership on climate ambition.

Moment of truth, Mr. Manfred Weber! Will you stick to your promise to never collaborate with the far right? Or will you break your word and side with the far-right at the expense of our people, our planet and our future? Europeans are watching. History’s watching!

There are wounds that time cannot heal. Ten years after the deadly terrorist attacks in Paris, we do not forget the names of the 130 victims of the Bataclan, the café terraces, and the Stade de France. Nor shall we forget the surge of solidarity and the thirst for freedom that rose against terror.

Watch our MEP, Carla Tavares, on what is at stake in the Multiannual Financial Framework 2028-2034. She is the co-negotiator of the EU Parliament on this crucial file that will determine on how the EU spends its money in the coming years. Today at 19h👇

The current MFF2027–2034 proposal doesn’t meet Europe’s needs. We will keep fighting for a budget that works for citizens, businesses, regions and farmers. Read the full article here 👇

When the S&D lead, the EU delivers for farmers. The new law against unfair trading practices, agreed today with the EU Council, will stop late payments, sudden cancellations, and abuses by big buyers — ensuring a fairer deal for Europe’s farmers. www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/pres...

Today the EP debates on the Multiannual Financial Franework 2028-2034. The EU budget has to be fair to our regions, farmers & citizens. Social issues are too pressuring & we need a well-established EU Social Fund. Access to EU regional funds shouldn't be granted in exchange for national reforms.

The EU Commission has finally unveiled its long-awaited EU Democracy Shield. Creating a 🇪🇺 Centre for Democratic Resilience marks a major step in protecting our democratic systems from foreign interference and disinformation. @cschaldemose.bsky.social

A good day for workers and social justice!✊ The 🇪🇺Court of Justice confirmed the validity of a large part of a milestone EU law on adequate minimum wages. @iratxegarper.bsky.social & @gabischoff.bsky.social with details on our Group's reaction👇 www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu/newsroom/goo...

Today’s ruling of the ECJ marks a good day for #SocialEurope and workers’ rights. The court’s decision has confirmed the validity of a large part of the EU directive on adequate minimum wages. This also confirms what Europeans have long demanded: fair and adequate wages for all.

Today’s vote the Environment committee sends a clear signal: the EU remains committed to climate leadership. Setting a 2040 target is essential to provide certainty for investment, innovation, and a just transition. @woelken.eu & Javi López www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu/newsroom/sds...

Thirty-six years ago, a wind of change tore down the Berlin Wall, proving that no barrier is stronger than the human desire for freedom. The fall of the Wall lit a path toward hope and unity. Today, we honour this legacy by standing together for a Europe rooted in freedom, equality, and solidarity.

Thank you to all participants in the Progressive High Level Conference in Kyiv. Two days of truly inspiringly debates - with so many people, including women and youth. We will stand by your side. For a free, democratic and socially just Ukraine in the European Union!

We are full of admiration for the resilience and strength of the Ukrainian people. The EU will be there for Ukraine to help with the recovery, but it is not only about money. @kvanbrempt.bsky.social @thijsreuten.bsky.social @jmgermain.bsky.social @katarina-barley.de

We believe in Ukraine and in its European future within the European Union. Follow live the 2nd day of the high-level progressive conference in Ukraine. 🔴www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu

We are in Kyiv because we believe in Ukraine and in its European future. Despite existential fight, Ukrainians continue to deliver on EU-related reforms and are ready to open the first negotiation chapters – an extraordinary achievement!

S&D Member @raphaelglucksmann.bsky.social was in Berlin this week on behalf of our Group to engage in talks with our SPD comrades on the future of Social Democracy in Germany and Europe.

Today we honour the memory of the victims of the Novi Sad tragedy. 16 lives lost to greed, negligence, corruption. The people of Serbia have filled the streets with courage and hope. Their future is European, democratic, free. And no autocrat can stand in the way of that!

President @iratxegarper.bsky.social has just wrapped up a high-level mission to Greenland. Details on this and on our Group’s upcoming activities - in our latest newsletter. Out now! www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu/newsroom/sd-...

In the midst of an increasingly challenging geopolitical environment, as Brazil prepares to host COP30, and G7 ministers deliberate on raw materials, @iratxegarper.bsky.social and @cschaldemose.bsky.social have just concluded their mission to Greenland. www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu/newsroom/tim...

Great exchange with students at the Business College in Nuuk, a success story of EU-Greenland cooperation. The future of Greenland is in your hands, and you can count on the Socialist family as a reliable ally. @iratxegarper.bsky.social @cschaldemose.bsky.social

As floods, wildfires, and heatwaves batter Europe and the world, the need for urgent, united climate action has never been clearer. This month, @chahim.bsky.social, Annalisa Corrado and Helene Fritzon will represent our Group at the #COP30 in Brazil. www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu/newsroom/cop...

We did it!✊ The 🇪🇺 Parliament has approved the Soil Monitoring Directive - the first EU law to recognise soil as a living, limited resource that must be protected. Just like water and air.

The EU–AU summit is our chance to build a partnership of equals, rooted in solidarity, justice & shared responsibility. Together we can fight poverty, ensure debt relief, reform global finance & advance climate justice & gender equality. @maritmaij.bsky.social

New EU law to curb microplastic pollution! Thanks to S&D leadership, all operators, including maritime transport, must prevent plastic pellet leaks that harm nature & health. @cesarluena.bsky.social

COP30 in Belém must revive multilateralism and deliver a just, ambitious climate transition. Let's lead by example: ✅align 2035 and 2040 goals with science ✅ensure fair, accessible climate finance ✅link climate action to peace, stability, human rights www.europarl.europa.eu/plenary/en/h...
