In North Macedonia for important exchanges with our counterparts in the EU–North Macedonia Joint Parliamentary Committee. We encourage all political forces to build consensus, advance reforms and strengthen the country’s path towards EU accession. And always a pleasure to meet our friends from #SDSMakedonija 🇲🇰🌹 @vigenin

From quality jobs to a stronger European industry, a key week ahead for progressives. Check out the S&D Times for the latest on our push for a strong European Social Fund, the Industrial Accelerator Act and the EU Parliamentary Democracy Forum. Here 👇 socialistsanddemocrats.eu/ne…

EU’s ambitions need a budget to match. For the 2028–2034 EU budget, known as the Multiannual Financial Framework, we need new genuine own resources to be able to deliver. This is the only way out of the impossible dilemma lower spendings or more cuts. socialistsanddemocrats.eu/ne…

Valuable exchange with Icelandic sister party @Samfylkingin and its group leader in Iceland's Parliament, Guðmundur Ari Sigurjónsson. Iceland and the EU are key strategic partners, and we will continue working together for strong trade, prosperity and security.

Today's agreement is a welcome move to further strengthen security in the Arctic and the North Atlantic Area, underlining the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark and the Greenlandic people’s right to self-determination.

Our world is founded on international law. And it is now under threat. Reports say Donald Trump is preparing new sanctions against the @IntlCrimCourt, the world's main tribunal for war crimes & crimes against humanity. When the #ICC is prevented by force from carrying out its legitimate work, this must be an alarming wake-up call for all of us. We won't accept Trump’s “law of the jungle." @vonderleyen: the EU must not be afraid to use the blocking statute if needed! @Yannis_Maniatis @kvanbrempt socialistsanddemocrats.eu/ne…

Positive news on the EU-Philippines free trade agreement. Stronger EU market access, supply chains and resilience, with rules to ensure trade is positive for people and planet. In an unpredictable world, the Philippines remains an important regional partner for Europe.

We agree with @vonderleyen’s words: “Housing is not a privilege. It’s a right”. But we need to deliver! Last year Von der Leyen announced a “EU Housing summit”. We still wait for it. Let’s get it moving. Europeans are waiting! @gabischoff @SCHIEDER

Full speed ahead for another week of progressive action! Check out what our MEPs will be up to in the next days and take a look at our nomination for this year's #SakharovPrize. socialistsanddemocrats.eu/ne…

Today the EPP and far-right showed their true colours. We voted for solidarity and protecting minors in need in Ceuta. They voted for hate.

Protecting children and consumers online is a priority for us. Over the past 2 years, we have led negotiations on EP’s report on protection of minors online and came up with proposals on age-assurance mechanisms. @IratxeGarper @alexagiussaliba socialistsanddemocrats.eu/ne…

The fight against drug trafficking is a shared European responsibility. We must tackle organised crime while putting prevention, public health and social protection at the heart of our response. We welcome today’s European Parliament resolution as a step towards a safer Europe.

Europe must defend international justice. And we will not back down from this fight, despite US pressure. This is why we nominate the @IntlCrimCourt for this year's #SakharovPrize. #ICC judges must be free to perform their duties without any interference. The ICC must not be treated as an institution whose authority applies only when politically convenient.

Canada is our natural partner. We have consistently called for stronger coalitions guided by the principle of fair trade and multilateralism with other like-minded partners. @kvanbrempt, @J_MorenoSanchez & Tobias Cremer socialistsanddemocrats.eu/ne…

Welcome PM Carney 🇨🇦 Europe & Canada believe in democracy. Associate membership would be a real step toward Canada and the EU working together. Together for solidarity & international law, not "might is right." Watch him address the EU Parliament, live: multimedia.europarl.europa.e…

Staff shortages in the healthcare workforce mean people cannot access the healthcare they need. This is the warning we issued today, as the European Parliament debates an EU health workforce crisis plan. Estelle Ceulemans & @marta_temidops have details👇 socialistsanddemocrats.eu/ne…

Hybrid warfare is a strategic challenge to Europe’s security and democracy. Our response? Bold action to anticipate and deter hybrid campaigns with a stronger European approach. Voting today, Socialists and Democrats isolated far-right forces and pushed for effective steps, including: ✔️ Putting cyber defence and technological sovereignty at the heart of EU security ✔️ Strengthening democratic and societal resilience to protect citizens and institutions ✔️Improving intelligence-sharing and situational awareness

We call for a social bonus financed by energy companies’ windfall profits to help families cope with soaring costs. Families need relief from the cost-of-living crisis. Read full press release with @IratxeGarper 👇 socialistsanddemocrats.eu/ne…

A world of cooperation facing up to domination. That's what we want to build together. @IratxeGarper on SOTEU 2026 We act. For you. With you.

President @vonderleyen, the Europe of the 21st century will only be possible if pro-European forces work together. Not looking towards the far-right. PM @MarkJCarney, this is also the world that Canada and Europe want: a world of cooperation, progress, democracy and peace, not domination, regression, fear and war. The Europe you helped us build. The world we will defend together. @IratxeGarper
