Propaganda cannot undermine solidarity. S&Ds send letter to Von der Leyen asking her to verify the legality of calls by certain governments to suspend Schengen following the Ceuta crisis
The Socialists and Democrats Group in the European Parliament today sent a letter to President von der Leyen, urging her to intervene immediately to clarify the rules governing the suspension of the Schengen area by member states following the events in Ceuta.
The S&D Group has expressed concern over the deliberate misrepresentation by certain governments of what happened in Ceuta yesterday and of the consequences that might follow, exploiting the situation for political ends. The S&D Group has made it clear that no member state can "expel" another member state from…

The facts are clear: no Member State can “expel” another from Schengen. Demagogy won’t solve migration challenges. What Europe needs is responsibility, solidarity and cooperation among all Member States protecting the EU’s external borders, not attacks on Spain or any other
FIFA’s plan to sell stakes in a €20b World Cup subsidiary to private investors, including a firm linked to the Kushners, is a conflict of interest. Football wasn’t built in boardrooms. It belongs to the players and fans. Not to the highest bidder. @HannesHeide
Spain and France are facing an unprecedented wildfire emergency. Thousands of hectares have burned, and more than 320,000 people have been evacuated. Behind these numbers are families forced to leave everything behind, firefighters battling impossible conditions, and
Amazing news just in from Türkiye: A new progressive party, @yenipartiyiz, 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.
We welcome the US’ commitment to honour the Turnberry agreement. @berndlange ensured we have a safety net: if the US breaches their obligations, we can suspend concessions swiftly and in a targeted manner. @brandobenifei S&Ds welcome the US commitment to respect the EU…

It started with hate, barbed wire, then bricks. The building of the Berlin Wall started on August 13, 1961, bringing division for nearly 30 years. Today, hate and extremism again rear their ugly heads. Let’s act together to stop division - together as Europeans we are stronger.
Before they were leaders, they were young too. This #InternationalYouthDay, we are sharing our own youth photos (see if you recognise our President and vice-presidents!). They remember rent eating up their first paychecks. Wondering if they would ever afford a place of their own. Choosing between a…
From restaurant workers to tourist guides, when you’re on vacation, plenty of people are still working. Many do so in poor conditions and for unfair pay. There is an urgent and constant need to improve working and living conditions for all Europeans. That’s why the S&Ds are pushing for the Quality…
81 years on from the horror of the nuclear bombs dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. 81 years of a deep scar on our common humanity. The bomb that fell on Nagasaki 81 years ago today was the last nuclear weapon used in conflict. Alongside the bomb dropped on Hiroshima a few days before, it remains…
For too long, short-term rentals have been out of control. We’ve been working to get the EU to tackle the housing crisis. Here’s Commissioner Dan Jørgensen and Gaby Bischoff MEP on short-term rentals.
AI content that could pass as real? Label it. Chatbots talking to you? Say so. No exceptions! We have pushed hard for this kind of transparency for years, and fought off every attempt by Big Tech and political pressure to water it down. And our red line has stayed the same: don’t weaken the…

Follow usSchengen is one of Europe’s greatest achievements. Let’s defend facts, strengthen our common asylum and migration system, and share responsibility fairly instead of spreading misinformation.
What Europe needs is responsibility, solidarity and cooperation among all Member States protecting the EU’s external borders—not attacks on Spain or any other frontline country facing violation of territorial integrity.
The facts are clear: no Member State can “expel” another from Schengen. Demagogy won’t solve migration challenges.
From AI and fair trade to defence and security, during the #Transatlanticweek2026 we discussed how much we gain by working together. We stand ready to build a shared future that delivers for workers and businesses on both sides of the Atlantic, while keeping EU interests at heart.
Digitalisation is shaping our era with challenges and opportunities. EU must invest in innovation by securing effective regulation and a democratic transition that leaves no one behind. A stronger cooperation with US should ensure that technology serves the society as a whole.
EU competitiveness relies on completing our single market. We must leverage on EU assets to lead innovation in critical sectors while maintaining the US partnership. EU & US are stronger together. But strength doesn't mean interference, while working with our like-minded partners.
EU & US are closest economic partners. Trust and reliability are central in our relation. We should remove unnecessary trade barriers, strengthen supply chains and economic cooperation to secure jobs and sustainable growth. Together, we can ensure resilience and shared prosperity.
