Our thoughts are with Poland after the attack in Kraków.

We express our deepest solidarity to the families of the victims and to all those affected.

We strongly condemn this senseless act of violence. Europe stands united in defending peace, democracy and rule of law.

Sabotage attacks on blood banks and supermarkets prove, again, that we must protect critical infrastructure.
It’s time to enhance EU deterrence, prevention and response capacity.

We must invest in preparedness, strengthen cross-border cooperation & implement the Directive on Network and Information Security (NIS2)

Europe needs a strong foreign and security policy. For a safer future and a more resilient society.

Today in Dublin, progressives are united on common priorities: a sovereign European defence union, steadfast support for Ukraine, peace and international law in the Middle East.

AI is transforming education, but teachers and educators must remain at its heart. Digital innovation must strengthen education as a public good, not deepen inequalities or empower Big Tech.

👏 Great to see EU Executive Vice-President @RoxanaMinzatu championing this vision on & Skills Package!

We look forward to debating this with her and many other guests at our S&D event on 18 Nov.

Our S&D Bureau is ready to get to work!✊🇪🇺🌹

A dedicated team, up to the challenge of leading progressive forces in the 🇪🇺Parliament for the benefit of all people.

Here are the responsibilities of our vice-presidents. Let's start delivering the change people need!

Today we voted against the report on speeding up environmental assessments in the European Parliament’s environment, climate and food safety committee (ENVI).

Simplification must never mean environmental deregulation.

We acknowledge the good intentions outlined in the Commission's 2027 Work Programme.

But we have serious concerns that the programme focuses too heavily on deregulation and simplification instead of delivering tangible results for people.

EU money should only go to "Made in EU" green corporate fleets. A win for the climate, Europe's automotive workforce, and the affordability of electric vehicles.

We've always championed EU enlargement as a driver of peace, democracy and shared prosperity.

The 🇪🇺Commission’s 2026 Enlargement Package, to be presented today, must give a fresh push to the EU accession process.

Donald Trump asked voters to imagine he was on the ballot. They did — and rejected him and his failed policies.

Americans struggling with an unprecedented cost-of-living crisis want real, progressive solutions to their real problems  — not more “real Donald Trump”.
eDemocrats ! Your victory is a much-needed glimmer of hope, reaching far beyond America.

🇺🇸 Congratulations, @TheDemocrats!

The beginning of the end for Trump’s wars, illegal tariffs and attacks on democracy.

The future belongs to those who unite people and build a better world.

The blue wave arrived.

🇧🇬 Congratulations, President Iotova, on your convincing victory and on becoming the first woman to hold this position!

Bulgarians placed their trust in an experienced pro-European leader committed to security, social justice and solidarity.

A major victory for @PES_PSE family.

We welcome the outcomes of the EU-Canada Summit, a decisive step toward a de facto partnership that consolidates a strategic alliance with concrete advances in economic cooperation in key sectors to improve the well-being and prosperity of our citzens.

Next week, President @IratxeGarper and other MEPs will join the 🇪🇺Parliament's Gender Equality Week.

Check out details in this week's S&D Times.

Also on the agenda:
👩‍🎓Who shapes the future of education?
🇪🇺Presentation of the Enlargement Package

EU-Central Asia cooperation is increasingly important - economically, politically and strategically.

We should enhance our partnership across trade, security, and connectivity. But human rights and the rule of law are always an important part of it.

This week in Kazakhstan, e valuable relations.

Netanyahu’s bloc has lost its majority. His era of wars and genocide must end.

Congratulations, @YairGolan1. Your gains offer hope for a new government and a future of peace for Israelis, Palestinians and the entire Middle East.
