Reacting to the first elections results, Udo Bullmann, S&D Group leader, said:
 
“With election results from half of the countries already in, we have heard the message of voters: people call to combat climate change and demand social justice.
 
“We, the European Socialists and Democrats, have heard their urgency to act now. We seek to build a strong progressive reform majority in the next European Parliament. Our lead candidate Frans Timmermans has committed himself to implement the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals as Commission President. In the coming days, we will set out to forge a strong progressive alliance capable of carrying the change people call for: a just transformation.”
