Un hombre bueno, un gran socialista del que aprendimos grandes lecciones . Descansa en paz , Guillermo 🌹

We’re closely following the situation of the Gaza Flotilla, in contact with our colleague Annalisa Corrado. It’s a humanitarian mission, posing no danger or threat to either Israel or Palestine. Israel must respect international law and guarantee the safety of the whole flotilla.

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.

More than 400 Palestinians killed in just 3 days. 57 children starved to death. Over 70,000 face acute malnutrition. Netanyahu is weaponizing hunger while turning Gaza into a graveyard. Silence is complicity. This horror must end now. Sanctions. Embargoes. Justice.

The firewall against the far-right in Romania must hold firm. "Aligning with the far-right is not an option for our political family" Joint statement - @iratxegarper.bsky.social and @pes.eu leader Stefan Löfven on the Presidential elections in Romania. www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu/newsroom/joi...

The leaders of the EPP, S&D, Renew Europe, Greens/EFA and the LEFT Political Groups in the European Parliament join their voices to show their concern on the situation in the Gaza Strip. Full statement here ⬇️

Hoy celebramos el #DiaDeEuropa, y 75 años después de la Declaración Schuman, su espíritu sigue más presente que nunca. Seguimos defendiendo una Europa de paz, solidaridad y fuerza compartida. El futuro de Europa lo construimos todas y todos juntos. ¡Feliz Día de Europa! 🇪🇺❤️

75 years since the Schuman Declaration, its spirit remains more relevant than ever. Today, we defend that vision, a Europe of peace, solidarity, and shared strength. The future of Europe must be built on unity, justice, and lasting peace. Happy #EuropeDay! 🇪🇺❤️

Trump and his far-right allies, both inside and outside the EU do not believe in a world governed by rules, but rather in the rule of strength. We are here to firmly defend the European model: social justice, a welfare state, and a people-centered economy. @iratxegarper.bsky.social

Welcome to our Group meeting, Stéphane Séjourné! Building alliances & a progressive agenda are crucial in the current political context.

🔴ENTREVISTA a @iratxegarper.bsky.social I Si la democracia europea está en peligro, es en gran parte por el aumento de la desinformación. La UE tiene que buscar países aliados con los que poder avanzar en su desarrollo económico industrial. 🗞️ @publico.es www.publico.es/politica/par...

80 years ago today, Italy ended its fascist regime. 29 years later, Portugal followed. April 25 marks the soul of Europe: Democracy vs tyranny. Freedom vs oppression. Rights vs abuse. It belongs to all who believe in antifascism. Viva la Liberazione! 25 de Abril sempre!

Il 25 aprile è il cuore pulsante della nostra democrazia. In questo ottantesimo anniversario ricordiamo chi ha lottato per la libertà, per un’Italia antifascista. È un giorno di memoria, di gratitudine e di impegno. La libertà si conquista, ma soprattutto si protegge. Sempre. 🇮🇹🫶🏼

Hoje celebramos a Revolução dos Cravos. A vitória da democracia e da liberdade sobre a ditadura e opressão da extrema-direita é um exemplo que ganha ainda mais importância nos nossos dias. Por Portugal! Pela Europa! Pela liberdade! 25 de Abril, sempre! Fascismo nunca mais! 🇵🇹🌹

El mundo ha perdido a un líder y a un hombre bueno. El legado del Papa Francisco será recordado por su compasión, abnegación y compromiso con la justicia social. Su honestidad ha hecho avanzar a la Iglesia Católica, creando un antes y un después. Descanse en paz 🇪🇺🇻🇦

Tiempo de desconexión .

Inflation day, not liberation day. Due to Trump's administration decision to install unjustified and illegal 20% tarrifs on EU exports, we urge the European Commission to do whatever it takes to maximise pressure on the US and defend EU interests. @iratxegarper.bsky.social

EPP, S&D, Renew and Greens leaders have reached a cooperation agreement on the omnibus package. Our groups want to ensure stability for the EP as an institution and predictability for companies. Our groups commit to work constructively throughout all steps of the negotiation process.

Since Donald Trump´s arrival to the White House, we have witnessed an endless number of initiatives paving the way to a transatlantic trade war. ❗️Tariffs on steel and aluminium ❗️25% tariff on all vehicles Tomorrow, we expect new announcements.

The EU must respond, with determination, with speed, proportionality and unity! Our strength lies in being the world's largest trading bloc, so we must be prepared to use all our power, including the anti-coercion instrument. All this, while working towards de-escalation @iratxegarper.bsky.social

Full statement by S&D President @iratxegarper.bsky.social 👇 www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu/newsroom/ira...

The EU must stand together in the face of challenges from far-right governments. 👉use the anti-coercion instrument to defend our industry from Trump’s tariffs, 👉confiscate the €200bn in frozen Russian assets, 👉suspend the association agreement with Israel, 👉suspend Orbán’s rights in the Council.

"Here we make Europe. Or it dies.” Europe is under siege by Trump, by Putin, even internally by Orbán. We must defend int law in Ukraine and in Gaza. Time for the EU to take control of its destiny. @IratxeGarper in Strasbourg today⤵️

Europe has to stand together against far right governments threatening our citizens' rights. @iratxegarper.bsky.social in the EU Parliament plenary today. More in press release here⬇️ www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu/newsroom/ira...

Europa necesita defenderse frente al mundo en muchísimos ámbitos. Cuando hablamos de seguridad, hablamos de seguridad militar, alimentaria o energética. Pero también de la seguridad de garantizar nuestro modelo social europeo. 🌹 @iratxegarper.bsky.social en #TerrazaEuropa

Europa se enfrenta a un gran reto: alcanzar su autonomía estratégica. Es necesario seguir avanzando en la Europa social, de los valores y del Estado de derecho, frente a quienes quieren destruir el proyecto europeo desde dentro. 🌹 @iratxegarper.bsky.social en #TerrazaEuropa

Welcome to our group meeting, Andreas Babler! Your leadership comes at a crucial time for Austria and Europe. This is a key moment to align strategies, build solidarity across borders and reinforce social democratic leadership for a fair and democratic future. We stand with you! 🇦🇹🇪🇺

🌹🇪🇺 Recibimos en el Grupo Socialista a @teresaribera.ec.europa.eu. Gracias por recordar a la Comisión Europea que la política climática no es un obstáculo, sino uno de los principales motores de crecimiento.

Great exchange with Teresa Ribera Executive VP for a Clean, Just & Competitive Transition. The green transition is a driver of competitiveness, not a barrier. The Clean Industrial Deal proves it. In uncertain times, we need such leadership for a fairer, greener future.

🇪🇺 Los socialdemócratas somos la alternativa frente al retroceso y la involución de la derecha. Todos y todas debemos combatir las amenazas que acechan al proyecto europeo. Europa merece la pena, para avanzar en derechos, en libertades y en democracia. 📍Acte 'Més Europa'

The LGBTQI community can count on our support! 👉🏼 We are proposing a plenary debate on European democracy, condemning Orbán’s attack on LGBTQI people and freedom in Hungary. Let’s mobilise against those who want to silence us! 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺

No podemos tener dobles estándares: defendemos la democracia en Ucrania, ¿y miramos hacia otro lado en Gaza? Europa no puede mantenerse en silencio ante esta masacre. Debemos defender la democracia y el orden internacional. 🗣️ @iratxegarper.bsky.social 🌹 @socialistescat.bsky.social

Concerned by the images coming out of Jerusalem. I want to express all my solidarity with @YairGolan1, leader of the Democrats, our sister party. We strongly condemn the violent assault by Israeli police. The repression of political opponents by Netanyahu’s government is unacceptable.

Dzisiejszą wizytę w Brukseli rozpoczęłam od spotkania z @iratxegarper.bsky.social – przewodniczącą grupy @socialistsanddemocrats.eu i członkinią @psoe-cef.bsky.social. Rozmawiałyśmy o tym, że UE musi być zjednoczona 🇪🇺🤝 #Biejat2025 #ŁączyNasWięcej

The EU’s €26 billion response to Trump’s tariffs is a strong step. We must also support steel & aluminium workers. If Trump escalates, we will deploy all our trade power, including the Anti-Coercion Instrument. We’ll keep defending rules-based trade to strengthen our autonomy & competitiveness.

💬 @iratxegarper.bsky.social: “La postura del PP español es incoherente respecto a la del PP europeo” 💬 “Europa tiene que seguir apoyando a Ucrania para que gane la guerra” Una entrevista de @martajaenes.bsky.social ow.ly/wNCk50VgcZc

Common debt, solidarity & strategic vision are the foundation of a solid European security architecture says S&D leader @iratxegarper.bsky.social "The construction of a genuine common defence and our support for Ukraine are two sides of the same coin." www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu/newsroom/ira...

Por un feminismo que avanza y construye la sociedad. 💪🏼 Por seguir luchando por los derechos conquistados desde Europa y en cada rincón. Sin dar un paso atrás. 💜 Hoy 8 de marzo, alzamos la voz alto y claro. ¡Feliz día internacional de la mujer! #8M #IWD2025

Yes to re-arming Europe. But we need even more, and the Parliament has a key role to play as budgetary authority. @iratxegarper.bsky.social on what she told Commission President von der Leyen ahead of today’s European summit.

Ahead of the Special European Council, PES leaders reinforced their support for Ukraine and called for a stronger, united European defence. Read more: news.pes.eu/4i6GltY @eucopresident.consilium.europa.eu @andibabler.at @psoe-cef.bsky.social @spoe.at @spdde.bsky.social @iratxegarper.bsky.social

Europe's security demands immediate, substantial, and joint investment. ReArmEU is a starting point, not a finish line. We need new, dedicated funding for EU defense, bolstering our industry while safeguarding our social welfare. This is the only path to a secure 🇪🇺 and sustained support for 🇺🇦

💜Las conquistas feministas no están garantizadas. Igual que se ha avanzado se puede retroceder. Vivimos en un mundo donde la ultraderecha ataca nuestra lucha. Por eso, tenemos que movilizarnos para no dar un paso atrás. 🗣️ @iratxegarper.bsky.social 🌹 @feps-europe.eu

We stand by your side dear Zelenskyy, and Europe stands united with Ukraine. It is high time for the EU to take its historical responsibility to defend democracy and freedom. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦🇪🇺

We, the S&D Group, stand in full solidarity with Romania. Romania is a strong democracy based on the rule of law, separation of powers and an independent judiciary. These are the cornerstones of a strong EU democracy, which make Romania a trustworthy EU Member. 🇪🇺🇷🇴

3 years since Russia launched its brutal, illegal war of aggression on Ukraine! To help 🇺🇦 achieve a comprehensive, just, lasting peace, we must double down on support, keep maximum pressure on 🇷🇺 & strengthen defence capabilities. Democracy will prevail. Ukraine will prevail!

🇺🇦Se cumplen 3 años de la brutal invasión rusa a Ucrania. El pueblo ucraniano sigue defendiéndose con valentía de un Estado agresor que ataca su soberanía y su libertad. Desde Europa y desde el Gobierno de España, los socialistas seguiremos firmes a su lado. #SlavaUkraïni

Three years of relentless war and Ukraine stays strong. Ukrainians can count on unquestionable economic, military and political support. Any peace process should include Ukraine and fully respect their rights. Our unity is our strength. #SlavaUkraini 🇪🇺🇺🇦

Today’s talks between the US and Russia, sidelining Ukraine, are totally unacceptable. Any talks about the future of Ukraine must involve Ukrainians, as well as the European Union. We stand by Ukraine all the way! @iratxegarper.bsky.social

A high-level S&D delegation, led by @iratxegarper.bsky.social will go to Egypt, Israel, Palestine and Lebanon from 15 to 21 February. Media advisory ⬇️ www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu/newsroom/med...
