Reporting requirements are no excuse to blame EU climate action for gas supply risks. A delay must not become a rollback. Keep companies accountable for methane leaks. Methane is one of the most powerful greenhouse gases, and cutting its emissions is one of the fastest ways to slow global warming.

S&D Group @socialistsanddemocrats.eu · 14/10/2026

The European Commission has presented its Methane Omnibus. Our message is clear: If we allow our climate legislation to be watered down at the first sign of pressure, we will only make ourselves more vulnerable. The regulation was agreed years ago.

Congratulations Navi Pillay on winning this year's Nobel Peace Prize. This sends a powerful message: no one is above international law. As Gaza faces devastation and Palestinians in the West Bank endure occupation and violence, the ICC’s arrest warrants for Netanyahu must be respected.

EU leaders must not look the other way! Austerity and cuts are NOT the answer. We need a long-term EU budget that protects people through this social and affordability crisis, with new own resources funded by big tech and highly profitable energy companies. Citizens must not pay the bill!

Executions are never justice. Bringing back the death penalty in Libya is a massive step backward, just like it is anywhere else. The death penalty is cruel, inhuman, and irreversible.
