This time it’s different. Europe needs to act together.
In this unstable world marked by conflict and democratic backsliding, we need political leadership for a stronger EU.
A EU that defends the rules-based order and the people.

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…

💬 @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.

The Middle East is at a crossroads.
Europe, meanwhile, remains on the sidelines – issuing statements when crises erupt, while others shape what comes next.
This cannot continue.
Europe needs a strategy.

🚨President @vonderleyen must intervene immediately to clarify the rules governing member states belonging to the Schengen area and any suspension of Schengen following events in Ceuta!

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
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
We welcome the US’ commitment to honour the Turnberry agreement.
@berndlange ensured we have a safety net: if the US breaches their obligations, we can suspend concessions swiftly and in a targeted manner.

The European Pillar of Social Rights must be more than a promise.
Today's communication points halfway in the right direction – but halfway is not enough. Now we need action, legislation and investment to deliver social progress.

We welcome parts of the report on the competitiveness of 🇪🇺 banks, presented today by the EU Commission.
However, its conclusions regarding the consequences of supposedly excessive European regulations of the sector are misguided.

Electrification = strategic autonomy.
Congrats @Teresaribera & @DanJoergensen for the brave Electrification Action Plan.
Social leasing made real, less fossil fuel dependence, affordable prices. That's what should guide the EU.
Don't miss out on our upcoming mission to Washington DC for the 2026 Transatlantic Week.
And save the date - on 9 September we're gathering high level speakers for an in-depth discussion of the geopolitical changes taking place in the Middle East.
www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu/newsroom/sd-...
The Electrification Action Plan is a step towards delivering affordable energy, strengthening strategic autonomy, reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels and reinforcing competitiveness.

EU law is the bedrock of the rights, obligations and protections we enjoy as EU citizens.
We will never accept attacks on the primacy of EU law and the authority of @EUCourtPress. Alarming that @EPInstitutional is today considering a report with this objective.
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…
