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

A courageous Europe needs a budget to match. We will not accept cuts to cohesion, agricultural policy, or social investment. Europe cannot do more with less. We need new own resources and common debt to invest in defense & the green and digital transitions. @IratxeGarper #SOTEU

Above all, we need the courage to defend peace and international law everywhere, especially in the Middle East and Ukraine. We cannot accept genocide or impunity! @IratxeGarper #SOTEU

We need the courage to defend our borders without abandoning our values. Migration can never become a political weapon. Ceuta is Spain and it is Europe. And European solidarity cannot depend on who is in power or where a crisis originates. @IratxeGarper #SOTEU

Courage means breaking the autocrats' dependence on fossil fuels. It means accelerating renewable energy. And making those who profit from this crisis contribute – we want a social bonus, based on a tax on the windfall profits of energy companies. Courage also means making the European Housing Act a reality and passing a Quality Jobs Act, with fair rules for AI in the workplace. @IratxeGarper

We have a choice, president @vonderleyen: we can return to nationalism, hatred, and war. Or we can defend the Europe we have built. We chose that Europe! And that means being courageous. 🗨️ @IratxeGarper #SOTEU

PM @MarkJCarney, welcome to the 🇪🇺Parliament. This is also your home. @IratxeGarper kicks off her reply to this year's #SOTEU: "You have shown courage in the face of Donald Trump. And that courage matters. Because when the law of the strongest returns, we need allies who will defend sovereignty, solidarity, and international law"

Europe needs more than commitments and announcements. It needs concrete policies backed by the necessary resources. The time to act is now! We act. For you. With you 🌹✊🇪🇺 Follow the 2026 #SOTEU debate live ⬇️ europarl.europa.eu/plenary/e…

Montenegro is on its way to the EU — and we want to help make it ready. Today, we welcome our Montenegrin sister party @DPSCrneGore to Strasbourg for the first time as part of the S&D Group’s new informal observer programme. A concrete step to advance EU enlargement and put our Willy Brandt Programme into action — making S&D the first political group to take this step. We stand ready to welcome Montenegro into our European family.
