We urge @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu to deliver a bigger and stronger Multiannual Financial Framework-post 2027. A genuine system of new own resources and joint borrowing that can address the challenges facing Europeans with no cuts in social spending.

Simplification cannot mean deregulation. Today, we @socialistsanddemocrats.eu have voted against the request for the urgent procedure on the so-called “stop-the-clock” that delays the implementation of agreed legislation on due diligence and corporate reporting requirements. Read more here ⬇️

Under false pretences, freedom of assembly is blatantly attacked, and the LGBTIQ+ community is cynically held hostage to Orbán’s power struggles. Enough is enough! The 🇪🇺commission must act!

Statement from the LGBTIQ+ Intergroup on the Pride ban voted in the Hungarian Parliament - Marc Angel

Only one day after the legislative initiative was proposed, the Hungarian 🇭🇺 Parliament voted in favour of a nationwide ban on prides 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️. I am shocked and deeply concerned by the adoption of this amendment. It is yet another dangerous step towards autocracy in Hungary.

EPP has once again chosen to align with the far right - this time to undermine 🇪🇺 Parliament’s long-standing call for a dedicated budget of at least €20 billion for the EU Child Guarantee. That’s a scandal! Read more here 👉 socialistsanddemocrats.eu/newsroom/sds...

Today we enter the fourth year of Russia’s war on Ukraine. Peace and security for Ukraine is a matter of security for the entire European continent. Therefore, 🇺🇦 & 🇪🇺 must sit at the negotiation table! Ukraine and Europe want peace, but any peace agreement has to be comprehensive, just and lasting.

“The 🇪🇺 commission does not have the luxury of picking and choosing which fundamental rights to uphold. It has a duty to act, to lead, and to stand firm against reactionary forces. Capitulating to obstruction is not leadership; it is failure.“

Statement from the Anti-Racism and Diversity (ARDI)-, Disability- and LGBTIQ+ Intergroup on the Commission Work Programme 2025: Mixed Progress on Equal Rights - Marc Angel

The European Commission withdraws the Anti-Discrimination Directive. This is a disgrace for Europe, a betrayal of our democratic value and an insult to millions of our citizens who face discrimination in their daily life! Today, the Commission has capitulated to populism. Read more here👇

More than 200 million girls & women alive today have undergone #FGM.

Simplifier, investir, protéger : oui ! Mais cela ne peut se faire au détriment des citoyens, de la justice sociale et des engagements environnementaux de l’Europe.

Iratxe García: "The Competitiveness Compass is not fit for the job. It doesn't serve businesses, people, nor the environment" | The Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament The Socialists and Democrats contend that the Competitiveness Compass fails to provide solutions to current and future challenges and hid

Le nouveau plan de la Commission européenne pour une plus grande compétitivité de nos entreprises se veut en faveur d’une Europe plus innovante, autonome et durable, mais elle ne doit pas servir de prétexte à une dérégulation massive au profit des grandes entreprises.

Many thanks to the @youthforum.bsky.social and to Laure Verstraete, Board Member of the European Youth Forum for the presentation of the Youth Test and on how the EP can further promote youth mainstreaming.
We need to make sure that young people are a priority in the development of EU laws!

Today I had the honour to host an event on the EU Youth Check & how the 🇪🇺 Parliament can support youth mainstreaming.
Last year the 🇪🇺 Commission promised to implement a Youth Check to deepen the dimension of youth policies and assess the impact of new legislative proposals on young people in the EU.

You are right, but only limited number of Members per political group… I would have loved to be part…
But rest reassured I will be active in S&D working group „housing“…and can actively participate on the important subject!
By the way I mentioned housing in my plenary speech yesterday…

The shrinking of working-age population & labour shortages poses great risk on many levels but if tackled in the right way, demographic trends can strengthen Europe’s resilience.

Digital Services Act: un enjeu de civilisation Alors que Donald Trump est revenu au pouvoir avec dans ses valises les propriétaires des grandes entreprises du net, l’avenir du Digital Services Act était évoqué par les députés européens. Qu’en dise...

Défendre le #DigitalServicesAct c’est défendre toutes les réglementations européennes, comme le règlement général sur la protection des données (RGPD) et le Digital Markets Act. Il faut se battre pied à pied. Soit on se bat, soit on plie devant les Chinois, Elon Musk et consorts.

L’adoption de la directive sur le salaire minimum : un enjeu crucial pour l’Europe sociale - Marc Angel

La législation sur le salaire minimum fait actuellement l’objet d’objections de la part de certains États membres, poussant la Cour de justice de l’Union européenne à se saisir du dossier. Abandonner cette directive serait une défaite pour l’Europe sociale! Lisez la suite ici ⬇️
