✊We joined today’s demonstration in Brussels alongside other NGOs and associations to speak out against harmful social spending cuts in Belgium. These changes will hit public services, wages, and social support hard — and civil society is standing up.

🔴 Recent attacks on NGOs from some @europarl.europa.eu MEPs are based on disinformation - not facts. Accusations of wrongdoing without evidence only serves to undermine civil society's vital role in our democracies. Together with 600 NGOs we stand for truth & transparency 📢 shorturl.at/R3Fpx

Why the EU’s competitiveness agenda ignores Europe’s true strength

Why the EU’s competitiveness agenda ignores Europe’s true strength

We can’t boost our competitiveness without future-proofing our foundations. Securing a just transition to fair, sustainable societies is essential, but noticeably lacking in the EU Commission’s recent proposals.

🔵 With the EU facing a volatile geopolitical situation & changing world order, strengthening the EU social model is vital. Our 'What's Next for Social Europe?' co-host MEP @mariaohisalo.vihreat.fi of @greens-efa.eu calls for all sides to work together to push back against attacks on #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 📢

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!

🔴 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

The @ec.europa.eu Omnibus project punishes companies that have been pioneers in sustainability while rewarding laggards. Sustainability regulation is thrown into chaos at a time when the EU should be firmly standing behind human rights and climate action. #stopomnibus @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu

📢 We need an EU that champions resilient, inclusive & fair societies: an ambition that is lacking in @ec.europa.eu's Work Programme. Not a single legislative file in 2025 tackles social issues, sending a clear signal that #SocialRights are secondary to #competitiveness. More here shorturl.at/isj8a

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

The Commission's #CompetitivenessCompass, the new growth strategy for Europe, risks undermining the EU’s social agenda. Resilient, fair societies need more than just skills and labour market participation - we need a strong social foundation where #SocialRights are prioritised and protected!

Thank you @ec.europa.eu Executive Vice-President Teresa Ribera for this important discussion on guaranteeing a #JustTransition for all - including those most at risk of #SocialExclusion. We look forward to continuing to work with you for a strong Social Europe!

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.
