🇳🇵 Our thoughts are with the people of Nepal following the devastating floods and landslides.
We mourn the lives lost and stand with all those affected, their families and communities.
We send our solidarity to the emergency and rescue teams working tirelessly on the ground.
🇺🇦 On Ukraine's Independence Day, we reaffirm our unwavering support for Ukraine and its people.
Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion, the PES has stood with Ukraine. And we will keep standing with Ukrainians -defending freedom, supporting a just peace, and accompanying Ukraine on its path to the EU. 🇪🇺
Just arrived in Kyiv for the 35th anniversary of Ukraine’s Independence Day. Proud to be here on such a significant day, underscoring the EU’s unwavering support.
Ukraine is a free and brave nation. Its struggle is also our struggle.
З Днем незалежності, Україно!
Today, we remember the millions of people who suffered under the transatlantic slave trade and slavery.
Their stories shed light on the devastating consequences of exploitation, racism, and dehumanisation. Remembering this history means confronting its legacy and continuing the fight for equality, dignity, and justice for all.
Today, we remember all victims and survivors of terrorism.
We honour their resilience and stand with their families and communities. Terrorism seeks to spread fear and division. Our response must be unity, democracy, justice, and respect for human rights.
We remember. We stand together.
We strongly condemn Russia’s massive attack on Kyiv, which has claimed at least 16 lives and caused extensive destruction, including damage to a children’s hospital and a school.
Our solidarity with the people of Ukraine remains unwavering. We will continue to support Ukraine and stand for a just and lasting peace. 🇺🇦
✊ In the face of the rise of the far right, we need more rights, more social justice and greater unity.
Trade unions and progressive organisations must work together to protect the social majority, improve living conditions and build stronger communities.
🌍 Because global challenges require a global response.
We’ve got too used to seeing people sleeping in doorways and outside stations.
It isn’t normal. And I won’t accept it.
Today, we’re announcing that everyone sleeping rough this winter will be offered a route off the streets if they need it.
We did it during the pandemic. We can do it again.
Let’s get everyone in for Christmas. Then let’s end rough sleeping for good.
Nie polityk. Nie ksiądz. Nie prokurator. Nie państwo. To kobieta ma decydować o swoim ciele.
➡️Dość zmuszania kobiet do życia według cudzych przekonań. Dość odbierania im prawa do wyboru i nazywania tego „ochroną”.
Aborcja to nie jest polityczna decyzja. Kobiece ciało to nie pole do politycznych rozgrywek.
⚫️ Immense tristesse à l'annonce du décès d'Yvette Roudy. Emblématique ministre des droits des femmes sous Mitterrand, elle a porté des avancées historiques : remboursement de l’IVG, égalité professionnelle, parité.
Elle a contribué à changer durablement la vie des femmes.
Serving others has become more dangerous than ever.
More than 1,000 humanitarians have been killed in the last 3 years.
Humanitarian workers stand up for people in need.
We must stand up for them.
We must #ActForHumanity.
Now.
#WorldHumanitarianDay
Hace 90 años asesinaron a Federico García Lorca por lo que representaba: la cultura, la libertad y una España que se negaba a vivir bajo el miedo y el silencio.
Su voz sigue viva frente a quienes todavía pretenden blanquear la dictadura y borrar nuestra memoria democrática.
Recordar a Lorca es defender la libertad. Y la democracia también se defiende haciendo memoria. 🌹
Today, we honour humanitarian workers around the world who risk their lives to deliver aid, support communities, and uphold human dignity in times of crisis.
As conflicts, climate disasters, and humanitarian needs continue to grow, their work has never been more vital.
Solidarity knows no borders.
With the digital world evolving at an unprecedented pace, progressive leaders across Europe are taking action to make online spaces safer and strengthen accountability.
Because our rights and protections do not stop at the edge of the screen!
Rights offline. Rights online. No exception.
This is what progressive leadership looks like.

Our thoughts are with the people of Indonesia following the devastating earthquake.
Our deepest condolences to those who have lost loved ones, and our solidarity with all those affected.

🔥🌍 As we endure one heatwave after another, with wildfires destroying nature and homes across Europe, we have every right to demand stronger action from our governments. One of the most ambitious responses came from the EU in the form of the European Green Deal, with its objective of climate neutrality by 2050 - but how well are member states actually implementing its key policies? Read our policy study "The European Green Deal Tracker" to find out! 📕
https://t.co/3bUmrM1iAl
🔎 The European Green Deal tracker measures progress in implementing the EGD at the national level through an indicator-based index and case studies.
It analyses National Energy and Climate Plans (#NECPs) to provide an overview of member states’ progress across 16 key dimensions, including emission reduction, #Renewable energy, energy efficiency and #SocialJustice.
→ The main takeaways? Despite strong performances by many countries, no country can be called a "leader".
👎 Worryingly, some countries show limited progress towards and commitment to implementing the European Green Deal.
In addition to the analysis across 16 key dimensions, the policy study also includes case studies for five member states (Italy 🇮🇹, Sweden 🇸🇪, Slovakia 🇸🇰, Bulgaria 🇧🇬 and Poland 🇵🇱), which complement the findings from the index by providing a more in-depth understanding of EGD policies and national implementation dynamics in four policy areas:
🏠 housing
🪫 energy poverty
🚌 transport
⚕️ health

Climate change is costing lives, livelihoods and billions to our economies.
Europe’s scorching summer is another reminder that the cost of inaction is rising. We need to act now!
Extreme heat could cost EU economies around €180 billion this year, roughly 1% of GDP and almost exactly the growth the bloc had been expecting for 2026, with France facing the heaviest blow of the big member states. https://t.co/JLsUlNOvyx
