The Party of European Socialists (PES) brings together the Socialist, Social Democratic and Labour Parties of the European Union (EU). Its aims include: * the strengthening of the socialist and social democratic movement in the Union and throughout Europe; * defining common policies for the European Union and to influence the decisions of the European institutions; * leading the European election campaign with a common strategy and visibility, a common Manifesto and a common candidate to the European Commission Presidency, elected through an open, transparent and democratic competitive process. There are 32 full PES member parties from the 28 EU member States and Norway. In addition, there are eleven PES associate and ten PES observer parties. The PES is politically represented in the directly elected European Parliament, at governmental level in the European Council and Council of Ministers, and in the Committee of the Regions. The European Commission also numbers several members from PES parties amongst its commissioners.

We are joining the #BiggestHourForEarth with WWF European Policy Office: “The Earth is all we have. As candidate to the European Commission Presidency, I will keep on fighting to reduce our environmental footprint, to restore our forests, to clean our air, water and soil. I will strongly fight plastic and chemical pollutions, because they are a danger to all of us. I stand for a Green and Social Deal, where we deliver on our climate targets, by investing into our industry and support citizens that are affected by the transition. Time is running and we can’t afford a pause. So lets get this transition right”. PES common candidate Nicolas Schmit

We have a landmark political agreement on a common European system on migration and asylum, thanks to Commissioner Ylva Johansson and the Spanish Presidency of the EU.

We will continue to fight misinformation spread by the far-right and show that the Pact is a European response towards a more predictable, coordinated and humane migration and asylum system. https://lnkd.in/etBAAbdE
