Despite the European Union’s commitment to leave no one behind, millions of people across Europe are falling victim to job losses and are experiencing various forms of inequality and exclusion.
We can no longer accept this.
As Socialists and Social Democrats, we strive to create inclusive labour markets where everyone enjoys fair opportunities and conditions. We champion equality, ensuring every individual has the chance to thrive, regardless of their background. We work towards a society where everyone is protected, fostering a sense of belonging and solidarity.
As progressive regional and local leaders, we are committed to going the extra mile for a strong, social Europe that cares about everyone, whether by initiating local actions that ensure decent wages for workers, promoting accessible and affordable housing for all, or by advancing inclusive child education. We are championing social progress in cities and regions all over Europe, both through our inspiring vision and through concrete action.
But we can't walk this extra mile alone! During the next European term of office, we need a commitment from the European Union to fully implement the principles of the Social Rights Pillar.
Together, let's make Europe a champion of social progress!
