Sabotage attacks on blood banks and supermarkets prove, again, that we must protect critical infrastructure. It’s time to enhance EU deterrence, prevention and response capacity.

Europe needs a strong foreign and security policy. For a safer future and a more resilient society. Today in Dublin, progressives are united on common priorities: a sovereign European defence union, steadfast support for Ukraine, peace and international law in the Middle East.

AI is transforming education, but teachers and educators must remain at its heart. Digital innovation must strengthen education as a public good, not deepen inequalities or empower Big Tech. 👏 Great to see EU Executive Vice-President @RoxanaMinzatu championing this vision through the new Education & Skills Package!

We've always championed EU enlargement as a driver of peace, democracy and shared prosperity. The 🇪🇺Commission’s 2026 Enlargement Package, to be presented today, must give a fresh push to the EU accession process. @kvanbrempt @NachoSAmor socialistsanddemocrats.eu/ne…

Donald Trump asked voters to imagine he was on the ballot. They did — and rejected him and his failed policies. Americans struggling with an unprecedented cost-of-living crisis want real, progressive solutions to their real problems  — not more “real Donald Trump”. Congratulations to @TheDemocrats ! Your victory is a much-needed glimmer of hope, reaching far beyond America.

EU-Central Asia cooperation is increasingly important - economically, politically and strategically. We should enhance our partnership across trade, security, and connectivity. But human rights and the rule of law are always an important part of it. This week in Kazakhstan, we are reinforcing these valuable relations.

Netanyahu’s bloc has lost its majority. His era of wars and genocide must end. Congratulations, @YairGolan1. Your gains offer hope for a new government and a future of peace for Israelis, Palestinians and the entire Middle East.
