RT @DanJoergensen: Climate change is already impacting people's health, safety, livelihoods, quality of life, the continuity of essential services & business operations. We urgently need to step up climate resilience. Today @EU_Commission has proposed an EU Framework for Climate Resilience. ↓

The PES stands proudly in solidarity with our sister party @TheDemocrats_il and leader @YairGolan1 as the ballots continue to be counted after yesterday’s elections in #Israel. As Yair rightly stated: "The vote of an Israeli citizen casting a ballot in Tira is worth exactly the same as the vote of an Israeli citizen casting a ballot in Givat Shmuel. Not less. Exactly the same." True democracy leaves no room for division or racism. European Social Democrats stand with those courageously defending universal democratic equality and a shared future.

Our thoughts are with the victims of the railway accident in Toledo, Spain and their families. We stand in solidarity with all those affected and thank the emergency teams working on the ground.

RT @PSOE: Estamos consternados por el accidente ferroviario ocurrido en Toledo. Seguimos muy de cerca la evolución de la situación. Los equipos de emergencia continúan trabajando sobre el terreno para atender a las personas afectadas y garantizar su seguridad, en coordinación con todas las administraciones implicadas. Trasladamos todo nuestro apoyo a las víctimas y a sus familias en estos difíciles momentos. Ante esta situación, queda cancelada toda la agenda de la CEF prevista para el día de hoy.

🇨🇿 Happy National Day, Czechia!

🇬🇷 We wish our Greek friends a good OXI Day!

🌡️We can’t afford another summer like 2026. Europe must be ready for the impacts of climate change: protecting people, strengthening our communities, and investing in a fair transition. 🇪🇺We support the European Commission’s new climate resilience package, presented by Executive Vice-President Teresa Ribera. Our cities and regions need the resources to prepare for extreme heat, wildfires, droughts, and floods. 🤝Climate resilience matters. Cutting emissions matters. We need both.

RT @K_Smiszek: 🇪🇺 Bezpieczeństwo Europy nie może zależeć od decyzji Donalda Trumpa! Razem z 61 europosłami domagamy się od KE zdecydowanej reakcji na doniesienia o ograniczeniach łączności satelitarnej dla Ukrainy. 📡 Potrzebujemy wyjaśnień od USA i własnych, niezależnych systemów łączności!

RT @partisocialiste: Le racisme tue. L'attentat survenu vendredi dans les Yvelines doit mener au sursaut. Hier soir, nous étions place Stalingrad pour faire bloc contre le racisme. Face à la haine raciste et aux discours qui la nourrissent, nous refusons de nous résigner. Personne ne devrait craindre pour sa vie en raison de son origine, de sa couleur de peau ou de sa religion, réelle ou supposée. La lutte contre le racisme ne peut se limiter aux déclarations : elle exige des actes, une mobilisation collective et une réponse politique à la hauteur. Nous ne laisserons pas la haine diviser notre société.

RT @rglucks1: Présent ce soir Place Stalingrad au rassemblement en mémoire de Pengo Bossio Wangi, victime de l’attentat raciste de Trappes et La Verrière, ainsi qu’en soutien aux blessés et à leurs proches. Le racisme tue. Face au climat haineux et xénophobe, notre devoir est de défendre notre République. Une, indivisible et anti-raciste.

Israel deserves a future built on democracy, equality and peace. Ahead of tomorrow’s elections, the Party of European Socialists (PES) stands in solidarity with The Democrats, our associated member party, and its leader, Yair Golan. In a joint letter, PES President Stefan Löfven and Secretary General Giacomo Filibeck expressed their support: “A democratic, liberal and progressive Israel, grounded in the rule of law and respect for the fundamental rights of all its citizens, is essential to the country’s future.” We share a commitment to social justice and to a just and lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians through a two-state solution, enabling both peoples to live in peace, security and dignity. “We hope that the elections will mark a step towards renewed confidence in democratic institutions and a more just, inclusive and hopeful future for Israel and all its citizens,” they wrote.

✅Facts matter. Especially when democracy is at stake. 🇧🇷 Claims that Brazil’s presidential election was rigged because of the two-hour extension of voting are circulating. But important facts are being left out. 🗳️PES Secretary General @giacomofilibeck, who was in Brazil alongside @LulaOficial's campaign, following the electoral process, including the vote count, stated: 🤝“Both Lula’s and Flávio Bolsonaro’s campaigns requested additional voting time. 🚎 Lula’s campaign requested a nationwide extension following public transport disruptions in several cities, allegedly deliberately caused by right-wing mayors to obstruct voters’ access to polling stations. Flávio Bolsonaro’s campaign sought an extension in municipalities affected by severe weather. ⚖️Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court (STF) initially ordered voting to continue until 7 pm nationwide, later clarifying that the extension applied only to polling stations that had not yet closed. 📲According to reports published today, only 35,521 people voted during the extended hours. That is a negligible fraction of Brazil’s electorate. Even if every single one of those votes had gone to Lula, they would represent less than 1% of his approximately 4.4 million-vote lead over Flávio Bolsonaro. The final result was 51.79% to 48.21%. ✒️Claims of electoral fraud must be supported by evidence. Democracy depends on facts, transparency and respect for democratic institutions.” Official information from Brazil’s Superior Electoral Court (TSE):

🇷🇸 Congratulations to the Student List on winning Serbia’s elections, igniting a democratic rebirth across the Balkan nation. 🪧 From the streets to the ballot box, students, young people, and citizens have demanded accountability, justice, and change. In a record-turnout election, the newly formed anti-Vučić coalition secured a full majority in the country’s parliament despite serious concerns of corruption and voter intimidation. 🗳️ As PES President Stefan Löfven said: “Democracy is not simply inherited. It is defended, renewed and carried forward by every generation.” 🇪🇺 Today, their determination marks a hopeful new chapter for Serbia. Together with our sister parties, the Democratic Party (DS) and the Party of Freedom and Justice (SSP), we stand for a fairer, democratic, and European future.
