PES policy brief - February
The PES has created the PES policy brief for members of the PES family, bringing together the latest information on the EU agenda with a particular focus on social democratic priorities.
PES activists are invited to give comments and suggestions or to contribute information in the on Yourspace - the PES manifesto consultation. PES Manifesto: You have your say
Give your support to the PES manifesto campaign and to our ambition for a common 2009 election programme.
We are aiming for a manifesto that gives voters a clear choice between left and right on European level - between the Party of European Socialists and Europe’s assorted conservatives, liberals and extremists. Europe’s socialist and social democrats want to shape the New Social Europe.
Therefore the PES will present a manifesto that has been shaped through open discussion and debate. Have your say on the four themes of the consultation: New Social Europe, Save our planet, Europe in the world and European democracy and diversity.
