S&D leader Iratxe García calls for strong commitment to Green Deal, Social Equality and Women's Rights in address to EU Commission president candidate. 

“Our support is conditional on the obligation to offer a project for Europe that ends inequalities and guarantees equal opportunities. 

“Social democrats demand a greater commitment to the Green Deal and just transition. Our Union must be placed at the forefront of the fight against climate change, and Europe should become the first continent to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. A Union that innovates, competes and grows while restoring dignity to workers with new rights and strengthening public services is more than possible."
