We want reduced taxes on electricity to reward citizens who use clean energy, an EU-wide windfall profit tax on oil & gas companies, with revenues going to households and SMEs, and a European tendering platform for social leasing of electric vehicles and reversible heat pumps. M…
25 years since hatred & terror brought the world to a standstill. 25 years since 2,996 lives were taken by terrorism. 25 years later, we remember. May that tragic day of 11.09.2001 remind us that hatred & extremism must never prevail over democracy, freedom and peace. We remembe…
Bureaucracy shouldn't cost businesses weeks of paperwork. MEP @EeroHeinaluoma led the 🇪🇺Parliament to improve the EU Business Wallets: one secure digital space for company IDs, licences, signatures & more. Our key demand: data must stay on European clouds, in the EU!
Today, the S&D Group has secured an important win for European citizens. Voting in @EP_Economics, pro-European forces backed stronger transparency and sustainability requirements for investment funds. From now on, financial companies must meet genuine sustainability requireme…
Public procurement means taxpayer money. Every euro should maximise public value and ensure decent jobs for all. For the last two years, we have been pushing for the inclusion of social conditionalities. We will keep fighting for compulsory collective bargaining for the millions…
💬 @Yannis_Maniatis “The cost of European passivity has become too high.” The Middle East is changing — and Europe needs a strategy to shape its role in the region. We conclude today’s event with a clear compass: international law, accountability, Palestinian statehood and a…
The Middle East is undergoing dramatic transformation, but Europe remains on the sidelines. Instability is no excuse for inaction. We're bringing together EU and regional policymakers, experts and civil society voices for a special two-day event to discuss Europe’s role in the r…
Spying on students is not democracy- it’s intimidation. Under Vučić, Serbia is sliding further into authoritarianism, with spyware reportedly used against students and opposition activists. The EU must stand with them and defend their right to basic freedom. That’s why we have…
Europe needs an ambitious 2028–2034 MFF backed by genuine new EU own resources. The proposed cuts cannot come at the expense of clear climate targets, a stand-alone European Social Fund or a strong cohesion policy delivering solidarity to every citizen in every Member State. Me…
From Leipzig to Ceuta, foreign powers are trying to destabilise Europe. Parliament must debate the growing threat of hybrid attacks, so we have tabled a request for this plenary: Commission statement; On the need for a coordinated European response to Russia’s recent different…
We cannot have double standards when it comes to the Recovery and Resilience Plans. Right-wing political parties cannot insist that every RRF milestone must be respected when it suits their Governments, and then ask the European Commission - for personal political interests - to…
Andrij was a student when the war began. He joined the army to defend Ukraine, and now he's a trainee in the S&D Group secretariat. Here's his story. We have always stood with Ukraine and we always will. Slava Ukraini!
The facts are clear: no Member State can “expel” another from Schengen. Demagogy won’t solve migration challenges. What Europe needs is responsibility, solidarity and cooperation among all Member States protecting the EU’s external borders, not attacks on Spain or any other fron…
FIFA’s plan to sell stakes in a €20b World Cup subsidiary to private investors, including a firm linked to the Kushners, is a conflict of interest. Football wasn’t built in boardrooms. It belongs to the players and fans. Not to the highest bidder. @HannesHeide
Spain and France are facing an unprecedented wildfire emergency. Thousands of hectares have burned, and more than 320,000 people have been evacuated. Behind these numbers are families forced to leave everything behind, firefighters battling impossible conditions, and communitie…
Amazing news just in from Türkiye: A new progressive party, @yenipartiyiz, has just been formed. Best of luck to this new political force- a chance for the Turkish people who deserve better than Erdoğan. They deserve democracy, rule of law and hope for the future. @IratxeGarper
On July 22, 2011, 77 people were killed in Oslo and on the island of Utøya. People who believed in a more open, democratic world. 15 years later, we remember them not with a moment of silence, but by carrying forward what they stood for: tolerance, democracy, and love over hate.
We’re committed to a strong dialogue based on mutual respect. We defend Europe’s citizens, workers and strategic autonomy with on our values.   The relationship has to be more balanced to tackle the challenges ahead. S&D MEPs are in Washington for Transatlantic Week 2026.
52 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 a…
🚨Illegal goods have no place in our Single Market. The Commission’s €550M fine on AliExpress for allowing illegal products is great news. Consumer health & safety come before profit. The DSA ensures e-commerce platforms, regardless where they’re from, meet our safety standar…
Attacks on fundamental rights, minorities, civil society space, media – Europe faces clear Rule of Law challenges. As the Commission publishes its 2026 Rule of Law report, we call for a dedicated chapter on shrinking civil society space and stronger conditionality mechanisms.
Siamo tutti antifascisti! At the doors of the European Parliament today, MEPs and activists gathered to stand against the far right. We'll fight tooth and nail to defend a Europe of inclusivity and progress, with no return to our dark ethnonationalist past.
International law and the ICC authority should be respected. The US should immediately stop implementing their plan aiming at pressuring individuals, states, and international organizations. Jurisdiction should be free from political influence, and retaliatory measures against ot…
The Horizontal Anti-Discrimination Directive would help millions of Europeans who still face systemic discrimination based on age, disability, sexual orientation or religion. Our message for today’s @EP_Justice hearing: after being blocked in the Council since 2008, it’s time for…
Following our S&D proposal, today’s positive @EP_justice vote backs S&D priorities for upcoming EU Anti-Corruption Strategy: ✅Address & prevent paid side activities of MEPs ✅Common rules on political financing & combatting foreign interference ✅More resources for EPPO ✅Strong ci…
