Thousands stood with us today — as a pastor and three women MPs were charged with “violence” for protesting. Orbán’s regime uses fear to silence dissent. But it won’t work. We stand united for democracy and justice. ✊🇭🇺 #Hungary #Democracy #Solidarity

🇵🇱🇭🇺 Poles and Hungarians have fought for their independence for centuries — often side by side, as ”dwa bratanki”. Happy Independence Day, Poland! May our shared spirit of solidarity and courage endure. ✊ #Poland #IndependenceDay #DwaBratanki #Freedom #Solidarity

Honoured to meet my longtime mentor, former Danish PM Poul Nyrup Rasmussen. 🇩🇰 He taught us that a stronger, fairer Europe is always worth fighting for — and he’s still doing it today through his work on mental health. 🌹🇪🇺 #Solidarity #Europe

Hungarian prosecutors want to jail us for standing with a pastor punished for helping the poor and defying Orbán. Authoritarians rule by fear — but we won’t be silent. ✊🇭🇺 #Freedom #RuleOfLaw

🇭🇺 35 years ago we joined the Council of Europe — and chose democracy. Orbán walked away from that choice. The next government must bring Hungary home. #CoE

Good news from Latvia. People spoke up, pressure worked, and the government backed off from abandoning the Istanbul Convention for now. We stay vigilant. We keep fighting. Women's rights and safety are non-negotiable. ✊♀️ #IstanbulConvention #WomensRights #Europe

The victory of Zohran Mamdani shows the power of innovative, grassroots campaigning and a relentless focus on voters’ everyday needs. 🌹 Progressives everywhere can learn from his positive message in a gloomy political climate. #ProgressivePolitics #ZohranMamdani

30 years ago, Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated—a tragic loss for Israel, Palestine, and all who believe in peace. In Tel Aviv a huge crowd remembered the man who had the courage to choose dialogue over division, proving that leadership means daring to pursue peace. #Peace #MiddleEast

🇪🇺 75 years since the ECHR was signed — a shield against tyranny and abuse of power. Authoritarians still fear it. Citizens still need it. Democracy survives because we defend it. ✊ #ECHR #HumanRights #Europe

👏 Huge credit to the women’s organization of PSD, Simona Bucura-Oprescu and the coalition for pushing a bold law against femicide and gender-based violence. Protecting women’s lives is not optional — it’s a pillar of democracy. 🌹✊ #WomensRights #Romania

One year on from the Serbian train station disaster, we remember the lives lost — and demand the truth. This tragedy exposed corruption, sparked mass protests, and forced resignations. We must keep pushing for justice. ✊🇷🇸 #Serbia #Accountability #Solidarity

A dark day for women in Europe. Latvia walking away from the #IstanbulConvention. Let’s be clear: this is not about “tradition” or family values.” It’s an attack on human rights. Women deserve safety and dignity — everywhere, every day. And we will not back down. ✊ #WomensRights #Democracy #Europe

As someone who’s known @franstimmermans.groenlinkspvda.nl for many years, I watched his decision to step down with both sadness and respect. In politics, resignation isn’t retreat — it’s accountability. 🌹 Read my full reflections on leadership and renewal here: 🔗 bit.ly/3LcCbFC #Leadership #Renewal

@pes.eu: Good luck to our friends from @groenlinks-pvda.bsky.social in this week's general election in the Netherlands. @franstimmermans.groenlinkspvda.nl has the right experience to lead 🇳🇱 through turbulent times, deliver social and green policies and defend democracy.

Happy Austrian National Day! 🇦🇹 Our histories have long been intertwined — sometimes in struggle, often in peace and solidarity. Today we celebrate our shared European values of peace, democracy, and cooperation. 🌹✊ #Austria #Europe #Solidarity #NationalDay #PES #SPÖ

🌹 Congratulations to Catherine Connolly on her landslide victory as President of Ireland! A powerful win for a left-wing woman who stands for justice, equality and a new direction in Irish politics. ✊🇮🇪 #Ireland #Connolly #WomenInPower #ProgressiveEurope

Great ProgressiveAlliance conference with Elisabeth Baume-Schneider, Márcia Lopes, @eviholz.bsky.social, Machris Cabreros and many other phenomenal women leaders! 🌹 #GenderEquality #Justice #Progressives #FeministLeadership

At the #ProgressiveAlliance in Lucerne, I said it clearly: women’s leadership, online safety, peace — one fight, one struggle. Women must be at every table where the future is decided. #PESWomen #FeministLeadership

Fifty years ago, Iceland’s women shut the country down for one day — and woke the world up. ✊ Equality isn’t charity. It’s the backbone of democracy. #GenderEquality #Justice #ProgressiveEurope 🔗https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7387806661794582528/

On my way to Lucerne for the Progressive Alliance Conference on Feminist Leadership & Peace. ✊🌹 In a world torn by war and inequality, women’s leadership isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity. #ProgressiveAlliance #FeministLeadership #PESWomen

We remembered Imre Nagy — the martyred PM of 1956. Orbán can try to rewrite history, but he can’t erase those who died for freedom. ✊🇭🇺 #1956 #ImreNagy #Freedom #RussiaGoHome

🇫🇮 Met with Finnish MP & former minister Tuula Haatainen. Orbán’s rule deepens division and inequality — the left’s duty is clear: stand with people, fight for justice. ✊🇭🇺 #Hungary #Solidarity

Congratulations to Tufan Erhürman, the new leader of Turkish Cyprus. 🇨🇾 A blow to Erdoğan’s grip — and a hopeful step toward dialogue, peace, and a united future. ✊🌹 #Cyprus #Peace #Democracy

Congratulations to all the new @pes.eu leaders elected at #PESCongress25 — strong progressive voices for Europe’s future! 🌹✊ #ProgressiveMobilisation

Two women. Two dictatorships. One unbreakable courage. ✊ Yulia Navalnaya and Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya carry on their husbands’ fight — now their own — for freedom. Putin and Lukashenko fear them because they can’t jail the idea of liberty. #Navalnaya #Tsikhanouskaya #Freedom

In a row full of strong women leaders, two men stand out — both once workers, both trade unionists, now presidents: Stefan Löfven PES and 🇭🇺 Socialist Imre Komjáthi. 🌹 They remind us what true leadership looks like — rooted in work, built on solidarity. ✊ #PESCongress25 #ProgressiveMobilisation

It was great to catch up with former New Zealand PM @jacindaardern.bsky.social — a true progressive leader and an inspiration worldwide! 🌏🌹 #ProgressiveLeadership #JacindaArdern #PESCongress25 #ProgressiveMobilisation

Congratulations to Stefan Löfven on being re-elected to lead @PES_PSE! 🌹 A strong voice for justice, solidarity, and a progressive Europe — exactly what our movement needs in these times. ✊🇪🇺 #PESCongress25 #ProgressiveMobilisation

I’m honoured to be re-elected as President of @pes-women.bsky.social. We will not whisper. We will roar — for women’s rights, equality, and freedom across Europe. Together, we are bold, feminist, and unstoppable. 🌹✊🇪🇺 #PESWomen #FeministEurope #Equality

Arrived in Amsterdam for the @PES_PSE Congress. 🌹 In uncertain times, one thing is clear: we must stand firm for our values — and fight together for a fairer, progressive Europe. ✊🇪🇺 #PESCongress2025 #ProgressiveMobilisation #PES

🎉 Happy Birthday, Portuguese Republic! 🇵🇹 #Portugal #RepublicDay

🇩🇪 35 years ago, Germany reunified and tore down a wall. Today, millions in Eastern Europe still face lower wages, weaker protections, and fewer opportunities. Unity must mean equality — not second-class citizens. ✊ #Germany #Europe #Justice #Unity

🏠💊 No one in Europe should be without a home or healthcare — these are basic rights, not privileges. I underlined this today at the plenary of @CoE Parliamentary Assembly. #SocialRights #Housing #Healthcare

@elunedmorgan.bsky.social, Prime Minister of Wales, is a great fighter for many good causes like free school meals & shorter waiting lists in hospitals. Proud to have been her colleague in the European Parliament! 🌹🐉 #Wales #SocialJustice #ProgressivePolitics

Women who can inspire us - Foreign Secretary @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social, Chancellor of the Exchequer RachelReeves, Party Chair @annaturley.bsky.social, Party General Secretary Hollie Ridley, Party International Project Manager Sarah Rooney.

Inspiring women at the Labour Party Annual conference! I met with our Executive member @jackiejoneswales.bsky.social, and had constructive discussions with Rhiannon Davis, Director of the @labourwomensnet.bsky.social campaigning for equality within the party through training, campaigning ✊🟣 #LWN

🖤

Can’t wait to hear Keir Starmer’s speech at the Labour Party conference.

Congrats to Moldova & President Maia Sandu — a victory for democracy, ordinary people, and a European future. ✊🇲🇩 #Moldova #Sandu #Democracy #Europe

We miss you in the EU — but until you’re back, defend the ECHR. It protects ordinary people from the powerful. Don’t let the European Trumpists win. ✊🇪🇺 W/ @stellacreasy.bsky.social #ECHR #RuleOfLaw #Labour4Europe

Access to safe, legal & high-quality abortion is a human right — a matter of health, freedom, equality & dignity. As @pes.eu & @pes-women.bsky.social, we stand for everyone’s right to decide about their body & their future." #SafeAbortionDay #PESWomen

Delighted to join the @labour4europe.bsky.social at their conference rally. They are committed to bringing the UK closer to the EU, and I’m honoured to stand with them in that cause. #PES #Europe #EU #LME

125 years of courage, solidarity & feminist struggle. ✊♀️ In Helsinki I celebrated #Demarinaiset: women who refused silence, won the first political rights in Europe, and inspired generations. Their fight is our fight—across Europe, across the world. #Demarinaiset125 #Feminism #Solidarity

✊ Inspiring @FEPS conference in Kazincbarcika 🇭🇺 with @MSZP and union leaders. If workers’ rights and women’s rights aren’t safe, nothing is safe. Let’s stand up for them! 💪 #WorkersRights #WomensRights #Solidarity #FEPS #MSZP
