Follow us(opens in a new tab)How did China get its head start in e-commerce? What can be done to better protect 🇪🇺 consumers? How do digital trade & logistics innovations shape consumer access and choice? @SchaldemoseMEP and @PJouvet are on a mission to answer these questions. S&D Times – Weekly Update. This week's highlights…
There can be no compromise between the protection of children online from sexual abuse and the e-privacy of citizens. Any claims suggesting that one must come at the expense of the other are misleading and made in bad faith. No trade-off for S&Ds: Safeguarding children’s…
✅ APPROVED - The 🇪🇺 Parliament approved today the first ever EU Directive on fighting corruption. This is a breakthrough and a victory for European citizens and the rule of law. The Directive sets out common, ambitious rules to prevent, detect and sanction corruption crimes.
Today, we voted in favour of a strong EP mandate for trilogue negotiations on the EU–US tariff deal, addressing the significant shortcomings of the unbalanced Turnberry deal.

Follow us(opens in a new tab)It’s on us to call out the far right for what it really is. They say they stand with the people, but they defend the powerful, spreading lies, attacking, shouting. We can’t be afraid to speak up. Louder, clearer, and with responsibility. Because real leadership stands with the people and…
The EU Court of Justice just confirmed what we have always said: Orbán’s anti-LGBTIQ+ laws violate EU fundamental rights. Human rights, freedom, non-discrimination and equality belong to every European. No autocrat can deny them (especially one that’s just been fired). #lgbti #lgbt #hungary …
Famine is coming unless something changes. Higher fossil fuel prices and shortage of much needed fertilisers resulting from ongoing blockade of Strait of Hormuz means that farmers in developing countries are already using less on their fields - and getting less yield. This is particularly affecting…
The EU still has a trade deal with Israel. Despite everything. We’ve long been pushing to suspend the EU - Israel Association because of Israel’s horrifying, repeated human rights breaches. Momentum is building. Over 1 million people have signed a petition to suspend it. Help us get it to 1.5M! …
For them, shame. For us, pride! Pride in wanting a more ecological planet, pride in standing up for workers’ rights, pride in saying no to war, pride in striving for a world where men and women are equal. Today more than ever, proud to be socialists and democrats! #GPM2026 #pedrosanchez …

The green transition will be a success when ordinary people can take it on board. Our proposal is one of the most brilliant solutions that we can make available to people. Looking now at the industrial & market implications of social leasing. Live www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu
Decisions taken by president Trump mean people pay more in 🇪🇺. What can we do? The solution already exists – electric vehicles. 100% of the electricity used in 🇪🇺is produced in 🇪🇺. Discussing pros & cons of social leasing with specialists. Live - www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu
At the end of the day, social leasing is about people’s lives. We have 5 demands. ✊ We need an European social leasing plan, coordinated by the European Commission, that member states must implement. @chahim.bsky.social
People face a choice between mobility and dignity. This is where 🇪🇺must answer. Because mobility is a right. If people stay behind, then we are not moving forward. We must act w/ ambition! Social leasing is a promise that the green transition will not leave people behind. @iratxegarper.bsky.social
