🤝 Civil society isn't an accessory to democracy or an audience to be managed. It is its front-line defence. Yet across the EU, its funding is cut & its integrity is questioned. Will progressives stand by it? 🗞️ Read the Progressive Page by @mikaelleyi.bsky.social Sec Gen @solidar-eu.bsky.social

93 million Europeans are currently at risk of poverty or social exclusion. The European Commission published its first-ever EU Anti-Poverty Strategy, a plan to eradicate poverty by 2050. 👀 Our new briefing paper critically examines its potential to help eradicate poverty in the EU.

That tension runs through the whole Package; from child poverty in Spain overshadowed by defence investment, to housing recognised as an emerging threat but addressed mainly through supply and construction, with financial speculation left unmentioned. 👉️ Read our full analysis: buff.ly/aGkA965

1/2🧵 Last month the Commission published the 2026 Spring Package. The Commission's logic: competitiveness & strategic autonomy lead to social resilience and cohesion. At SOLIDAR, we'd flip it: strengthening social rights & cohesion is what makes the EU more competitive and resilient.💪

"Send them back" chants in the European Parliament are unacceptable. With 64 civil society organisations, we're calling on President Roberta Metsola to condemn the growing normalisation of racist, anti-migrant and anti-LGBTI rhetoric in Parliament. Zero tolerance for hate speech.

2/3🧵 So far, the signals are worrying. The Commission's proposal prioritises defence, border control and corporate competitiveness while social investment is diluted, the Just Transition Fund and other funds are set to disappear, and civil society risks being squeezed out of the process.

The EU Commission published its proposed Council Recommendation on fighting housing exclusion. SOLIDAR contributed to the process and has assessed the text: a welcome but imperfect tool. ✅️ Positive on social economy housing & data collection. ⛔️ Missing: rent caps, market regulation, and more.

We just closed the #ENHANCE project, 4 years of Erasmus+-funded work to strengthen adult learners' voices in education and policy across Europe. Final conference takeaway: participation only counts when learners can see what changes as a result. Not one-off consultations. Structural embedding.

SOLIDAR & SOLIDAR+ @solidar-eu.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

🧵 2/3 Our reaction? Cautiously critical. ✅ There are genuine positives: a life-cycle approach, intersectionality, focus on quality jobs, access to services, and more. ❌ But the tools don't match the ambition. Every measure announced is soft law. No binding obligations on Member States.

The EU's first anti-poverty strategy is here. But is it enough? Last week the European Commission published its long-awaited anti-poverty strategy, a landmark moment, given that the EU is dramatically off-track on its own target of lifting 15 million people out of poverty by 2030. 🧵 1/3
