I am honoured to have been elected lead candidate of the PES family for the 2024 EU elections. Together, we are ready to build a more social, democratic and sustainable EU that works for all. Let's do it! #EuropeWeWant

It's been 1,000 days of suffering and immense hardship for our Ukrainian friends fighting for their freedom. Ukraine can rely on our steadfast and unwavering support in order to ultimately stop Russia’s war of aggression. Honoured to have @ZelenskyyUa join again our extraordinary plenary session: europarl.europa.eu/plenary/e…

There is no coalition without trust and this has been betrayed from the beginning by the EPP.They pursue European and national party interests before EU interests.,allying with the extreme right including AFD,FPÖ…They use the distress of the victims of the floods and put into question an effective climate policy.Now we get repeatedly and unambiguously the answer to our question during the campaign:what about the extreme right?What they do nationally they also do it now at EU level.This power game at the cost of Europe is simply unacceptable

As a lead candidate of PES I made it clear that there should be no cooperation with the far right.This was a clear condition for the support to a new mandate for VDL.This condition has been broken again.EPP voted with the whole far right in favour of their amendment on a migration question in the budget report.This has to have political consequences!

We will never cooperate with the far-right. This was a key pledge of our campaign, voiced by @NSchmitPES, PES common candidate. We stand for an inclusive Europe, where democracy, solidarity and the rule of law are upheld.

As a Spitzenkandidat of PES I focused a lot on our combat against the extreme right based on strong commitments signed in Berlin,Rotterdam….I was shocked to see social-democratic PMs to coordinate migration policy with the representatives of the extreme right and conservatives legitimizing their discourse.Wouldn’t it wiser to coordinate a rigorous,realistic sd policy also based on common values?

Ich habe während der Wahlkampagne immer wieder die Frage gestellt wie es um eine Allianz mit den Rechtspopulisten steht.Die Antwort schloss dies nicht aus .Jetzt haben wir die Bestätigung in der neuen Kommission wie im Parlament

Youth is the present and the future of Europe. @NSchmitPES, PES common candidate, said it clearly during the EU election campaign. We have put forward a Youth Guarantee, a Child Guarantee, we are promoting programmes like Erasmus and pushing for paid traineeships.

Wie ernst meinen es die Christdemokraten im Europäischen Parlament mit ihrer #Brandmauer gegenüber Rechtsaußen? Bei der #Venezuela Resolution sind sie den Rechtspopulisten auf den Leim gegangen und haben erstmals von der Mehrheitsoption ohne die Proeuropäer Gebrauch gemacht.👇🏻

Herbert Kickl nennt Viktor Orbán als Vorbild. Warum der Hype um Ungarn nicht nur bedenklich, sondern sogar falsch ist, erkläre ich euch anhand von Statistik📊

👷‍♀️ Our common candidate @NSchmitPES made workers’ rights one of the main topics of our campaign this year. He spearheaded the Platform Worker Directive, ensuring better protection for gig workers, and the Minimum Adequate Wage Directive, which improved working conditions and access to decent salaries all over the EU.

Kamala Harris et Tim Walz réenchantent le Parti démocrate avec un élan et un programme centré sur les difficultés et les aspirations des couches populaires,des classes moyennes des femmes ,des jeunes.La social-démocratie européenne devrait s’en inspirer.J’ai mené la campagne pour les élections européennes avec Elly Schlein en Italie,avecRaphaël Glucksmann en France et avec beaucoup d’autres.Dans ces pays la social-démocratie a remporté des xn--succs-7ra.Il est temps d’amplifier ces engagements .Réenchantons la politique et battons nous avec persévérance et enthousiasme pour une politique progressiste et contre une droite et extrême droite qui étouffent la société.

Mi-juillet devant le Parlement européen, @vonderleyen_epp a repris à son compte les promesses de campagnes de @NSchmitPES et du @PES_PSE en annonçant une future politique de l'UE visant à aider les États membres à affronter la crise du #logement #HousingCrisis

Making sure our children grow up in a sustainable environment is one of our priorities. During the past EU mandate, we worked hard to pass the Nature Restoration Law, which entered into force this 18 August. (1/2)

A new hope for progressive policies:Kamamala Harris and Tim Walz.”Workers deserve livable Wages”.They will beat right wing populism in the US as we social-democrats have to do in Europe.Fighting together for working people and democracy

We strongly condemn the terrible escalation of civilian casualties in Gaza. This latest attack on a school with close to 100 deaths is yet another step in an escalating movement by the Netanyahu government that must be denounced and stopped! The excuse that the school was harbouring terrorists is exactly that - an excuse. Israeli Government must comply with @CIJ_ICJ orders and rulings. We call for an immediate ceasefire and liberation of the hostages. Now!

Today, on this tragic 50th anniversary, and every day, we stand with Cyprus. We stand in support of territorial integrity and sovereignty. Cypriots deserve to live in a reunited country in conditions of peace, co-existence, stability and prosperity. The Cyprus question is a European one. We will continue to firmly support Cyprus in the efforts to reunify the last divided EU member state, in line with the relevant UN Security Council Resolutions.

Congratulations @vonderleyen for your re-election as Commission President. As Lead candidates we both headed a campaign for a strong democratic Europe. All the best for the upcoming mandate. Europe faces major challenges from the outside, as well as from inside. More than ever we need a strong Europe that unites and fosters security, prosperity and social progress.

Congratulations @MarcAngel_lu for your election as Quaestor in the European Parliament. Your voice in the Parliament's bureau will be important for a strong Parliament and a strong democracy.
