S&Ds: "The Commission falls short. Europe needs action for people"
The Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament acknowledge the good intentions outlined in the European Commission's 2027 Work Programme. However, they have serious concerns that the programme focuses too heavily on deregulation and simplification instead of delivering tangible results for people.

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

The tide is turning. It’s been a decisive midterm victory for our sister party, the Democrats, and the message is clear: leaders must listen to people’s concerns and deliver real solutions. When progressives mobilise, they win. In Brazil, Lula held off the Bolsonaro camp and secured a fourth term…
Technology is reshaping our way to learn and teach, but future is in the hands of people. Education is a fundamental right and a public good, not a market for tech giants to exploit. As AI becomes part of everyday learning, we must make a political choice: do we adapt to commercial interests, or do…
For far too long women have been excluded. From boards, from the negotiating table, from making decisions. We will not accept that half of the world’s population is silenced. More women involved in power means more peace. We need more equality. Now! 👏 @chloridel
Hope is back. 💙 A blue wave. A clear message: enough, Trump. Americans voted for change — and gave us hope far beyond their borders. The far right can be beaten. When we stand together, change is possible. ✊🌹 #usa #midterms2026 #democrats
The blue wave has swept the United States. The Democrats’ landslide victory in the midterm elections is a stunning repudiation of the Trump administration and a resounding rejection of its destructive, hateful, and elitist agenda. Trump must now remain accountable not only to the Congress, but also…

Deeply saddened by the tragic railway accident in Toledo. Our thoughts are with all the victims, their loved ones and everyone affected by this tragedy. Our heartfelt gratitude to the emergency services and rescue teams working tirelessly on the ground.
Today is a victory for International Law and for Europe’s soul and a powerful reminder that accountability matters. The decision to award the Sakharov Prize to the International Criminal Court and its officials sends a powerful message to the world. www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu/newsroom/sd-...
Let this send a clear message to war criminals and authoritarian regimes everywhere: Europe stands firmly behind the ICC and will defend international justice against those who seek to undermine it. No one is above the law.
This prize is a powerful recognition of the ICC’s vital work to uphold international law, fight impunity and deliver justice for the victims of the gravest crimes.
