Strong message from MEP @liandersson.bsky.social at #EUSocialForum "The EU project is more than defence, steel & energy. Our social model must continue to be at the heart of the EU project.... we must not take this model for granted" We agree 👉 we must invest in social inclusion & #socialrights!

Disappointing that the #EUSocialForum's only panel focusing on the #SocialPillar failed to include voices from civil society or social partners. Ahead of this year's Action Plan we hope for a meaningful consultation with a wide range of voices to build a stronger #SocialEurope that works for all 📢

🔴 Despite @ec.europa.eu's repeated promises to leave no one behind in the #JustTransition, yesterday's Clean Industrial Deal, Action Plan for Affordable Energy & Omnibus package raise serious concerns that social & environmental safeguards are being sidelined: shorturl.at/hSMjw
Quotation from Laura de Bonfils, Secretary General reads" Once again, the European Commission is prioritising the interests of big industry over people. Social and climate objectives must not be secondary to economic goals!

The 2025 Danish Presidency of @consilium.europa.eu will oversee important #socialrights milestones & we were delighted to welcome Social Affairs & Housing Minister @sophiehaestorp.bsky.social to our office to discuss some key social inclusion priorities. Looking forward to working together!

The EU's #CompetitivenessCompass makes a lot of promises to businesses in the EU, but it undermines its social fabric. It states that the "foundation of Europe's competitiveness is its people" but people need more than skills and jobs. They need legislation that prioritises wellbeing & social rights

Very interesting conversation today with Social Platform, one of Europe’s largest networks of social NGOs advocating for policies that promote social inclusion and protect the rights of disadvantaged and marginalised groups. Organisations like this are essential to achieve a just transition for all.
