We need a European budget that matches the scale of the challenges we face. Not cuts that force us to choose between security, competitiveness and social justice. Because the question is not whether we can afford to build this Europe. The question is how much it will cost us if we don't.

Europe’s enemies aren’t migrants. They’re vulture funds evicting an 87-year-old disabled woman. Autocrats and war-mongers making citizens pay for their wars. Climate deniers sacrificing our homes and crops for profit. And the European accomplices enabling them. @iratxegarper.bsky.social

We can't do more with less. If Member States are not ready to chip in, we need to look into new own resources. The next EU long-term budget will determine whether or not our Union can tackle current and future challenges. Europe's future depends on it.

We strongly condemn the recent Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia and Yemen. The UN arms embargo must be enforced, and Houthi leaders and their security apparatus must be added to the EU terrorist list. @ymaniatis.bsky.social

Simplification doesn’t have to mean deregulation! Today, S&Ds proved exactly this. With a new e-declaration for workers posted abroad, the EU is reducing bureaucracy for companies while protecting strong enforcement of workers’ rights.

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.

A warm welcome to Dan Jørgensen, commissioner for energy and housing, to our S&D Group meeting in Strasbourg. We're on the side of the citizens struggling everywhere: we're committed to tackling the rocketing cost of living.

S&D Group @socialistsanddemocrats.eu · 07/10/2026

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!

S&D Group @socialistsanddemocrats.eu · 06/10/2026

Talking about the next 🇪🇺Budget, @iratxegarper.bsky.social is clear: "Europe cannot do more with less!" The only realistic way to avoid deeper cuts to the EU budget is already on the table: new genuine own resources that provide the Union with a fair and sustainable source of revenue.

We want a Europe that stands by the people when they need it most. Because that Europe is not only possible. It is the only Europe worth building and defending. The European budget is not an Excel spreadsheet. It is a political decision about who we want to be. @iratxegarper.bsky.social

We cannot do more with less. Europe cannot build its future by cutting its ambitions or returning to the politics of austerity. The EU's next long-term budget must be more ambitious, protecting our social pillar, cohesion and Europe’s future. @iratxegarper.bsky.social

A stronger Europe is a more social Europe. Together with progressives in national parliaments, S&Ds are fighting for an independent Social Fund with a reinforced budget to: ✅ promote quality jobs ✅ secure a better future for children with a €20bn Child Guarantee ✅ eradicate poverty

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.

Courage means breaking the autocrats' dependence on fossil fuels. It means accelerating renewable energy. And making those who profit from this crisis contribute – we want a social bonus, based on a tax on the windfall profits of energy companies.
