PES calls for dynamic Socialist International
In a video message to delegates at the Socialist International congress in Athens PES President Poul Nyrup Rasmussen said we needed “an effective, dynamic, viable, visionary Socialist International.” Poul Nyrup Rasmussen said that rising food prices, financial crisis, climate change created a “new global challenge” where a “strong progressive agenda” was needed.
Last chance for Barroso to present progressive Social Agenda
Tomorrow the European Commission will present its "Social Agenda", including proposals on anti-discrimination legislation, cross-border access to health services and European Works Councils. PES President commented that "the Social Agenda is the European Commission's last chance to show that Europe is more than a market, to show that it cares about the everyday concerns of European citizens".
