The facts are clear: no Member State can “expel” another from Schengen. Demagogy won’t solve migration challenges.

Amazing news just in from Türkiye: A new progressive party, Yeni Party, has just been formed. Best of luck to this new political force- a chance for the Turkish people who deserve better than Erdoğan. They deserve democracy, rule of law and hope for the future. @iratxegarper.bsky.social

We welcome the US’ commitment to honour the Turnberry agreement. @berndlange.bsky.social ensured we have a safety net: if the US breaches their obligations, we can suspend concessions swiftly and in a targeted manner. www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu/newsroom/sds...

On July 22, 2011, 77 people were killed in Oslo and on the island of Utøya. People who believed in a more open, democratic world. 15 years later, we remember them not with a moment of silence, but by carrying forward what they stood for: tolerance, democracy, and love over hate.

We’re committed to a strong dialogue based on mutual respect. We defend Europe’s citizens, workers and strategic autonomy with on our values. The relationship has to be more balanced to tackle the challenges ahead. S&D MEPs are in Washington for Transatlantic Week 2026.

52 years since Türkiye illegally invaded Cyprus. We don’t forget. We condemn the ongoing Turkish occupation of 37% of the Republic of Cyprus and reiterate our call to Türkiye to withdraw its troops and restore the rights and freedoms of all Cypriots.

We welcome parts of the report on the competitiveness of 🇪🇺 banks, presented today by the EU Commission. However, its conclusions regarding the consequences of supposedly excessive European regulations of the sector are misguided. www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu/newsroom/ban...

Siamo tutti antifascisti! At the doors of the European Parliament today, MEPs and activists gathered to stand against the far right. We'll fight tooth and nail to defend a Europe of inclusivity and progress, with no return to our dark ethnonationalist past.

International law and the ICC authority should be respected. The US should immediately stop implementing their plan aiming at pressuring individuals, states, and international organizations.

Following our S&D proposal, today’s positive @EP_justice vote backs S&D priorities for upcoming EU Anti-Corruption Strategy: ✅Address & prevent paid side activities of MEPs ✅Common rules on political financing & combatting foreign interference

Coordinators of pro-EU groups in the 🇪🇺Parliament Committee on Budgetary Control condemn attempts to downplay the serious misuse of EU taxpayer money by the Patriots for Europe Group. Outrageous that this is happening with the support of the European People's Party (EPP) Group!

A shocking outcome from today's meeting of EU foreign ministers. Despite overwhelming evidence that Israel is violating international law, there is still no final decision to suspend the EU–Israel Association Agreement or ban trade with illegal settlements. 1/2

Today, the European Commission, alongside many EU countries and international partners, pledged a $1 billion initiative for Gaza's early recovery. This is welcome news, but commitments must now translate into urgent reconstruction on the ground. 1/3

Today, about one in three adolescents report feeling stressed, sad or socially excluded because of social media. We need to support parents and caregivers against Big Tech and harmful business models. www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu/newsroom/pro...

While Gaza lies in ruins and settler violence in the West Bank escalates, EU foreign ministers must stop looking away. Business as usual is not an option. Israel must be held accountable. 1/2

The Ebola outbreak shows just how essential global health preparedness is. We call for the EU & int. community to increase funding for the Ebola response. That means medical personnel deployment, equipment and testing capacity, and increased funding to protect people.

❕ The reconstruction of Gaza cannot be separated from accountability for the destruction that made it necessary. S&D vice-President @ymaniatis.bsky.social has details: www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu/newsroom/gaz...

The reconstruction of Gaza cannot be separated from accountability for the destruction that made it necessary.

We want reconstruction in Gaza, with the UN playing an important role, and the Palestinians deciding. And 🇪🇺must be the leading force behind this. We cannot have others decide and us footing the bill. We need and ambitious, comprehensive strategy on the Middle East. @ymaniatis.bsky.social

Gaza lies in ruins, settler violence in West Bank escalates. We demand a 🇪🇺 financial facility for Gaza reconstruction with Palestinian ownership. We call on foreign affairs ministers to hold 🇮🇱 accountable: suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement! www.europarl.europa.eu/plenary/en/h...

At last, environmental offences will be taken seriously: punishable by effective, proportionate and dissuasive sanctions. Today, the 🇪🇺Parliament also voted on prevention measures and international cooperation, in order to address environmental crimes. @leirepajin.bsky.social

A home is a right. We travelled across Europe to meet people and hear about their struggles with the housing crisis. And they’re here in Strasbourg to share their stories. For all of them, we keep working to make sure that everyone has a decent home.

The EU-Mexico agreement reinforces a strategic partnership that promotes shared prosperity for all. Multilateralism is the EU compass, and strengthening alliances is essential for collaborating with partners who share our values and benefit people.

Ireland takes over the presidency of the EU Council! Workers’ rights, affordable and decent homes, gender equality and immediate EU anti-poverty action, that's the reality this presidency needs to address. Watch the EU Parliament debate: europarl.europa.eu/plenary/en/home.html

At our initiative, this plenary will hold a debate on the reconstruction of Gaza and Israel’s responsibility under international law. The ongoing tragedy in Gaza goes hand in hand with the deteriorating situation in the West Bank.

Climate denial has a cost, and Europeans are already paying the price. The record-breaking heatwaves across our continent are the consequence of years of ignoring science and delaying the green transition. Our answer is clear: more science, more public investment, and stronger climate action.

We welcome today's vote to extend the mandate of the European Parliament's Special Committee on the Housing Crisis. Europe now needs a dedicated budget to guarantee decent and affordable housing for all. @iratxegarper.bsky.social

Housing is a right, not a privilege! The housing crisis has become a social emergency across Europe. ❗️Around 45 million people are unable to pay their rent or mortgage on time ❗️Nearly seven in ten Europeans (69%) report difficulties paying their bills. @iratxegarper.bsky.social

A home is a right, not a privilege. We travelled across Europe meeting people struggling to afford a decent place to live. Join us tomorrow in Strasbourg for our housing gathering, opening the door to Europe’s brutal housing reality.
