French and European socialist leaders launch together their first citizen’s conference on Europe this Friday in Paris

Less than a year before the next European elections, S&D Group leader Udo Bullmann, France's Socialist Party (PS) first secretary Olivier Faure, and president of the French Socialist delegation Christine Revault d’Allonnes-Bonnefoy, are launching a citizen’s conference on Friday, 29 June in Paris on the theme ‘The Europe of tomorrow; it’s left’.

Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, will kick off this major European event, which will take place at Cirque d'Hiver from 18:00.

The debates of this #Europe Together event - sponsored by the Group of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament - will focus in particular on the contribution of cities to the ecological transition, the well-being of citizens and on the green jobs of tomorrow. http://www.europe-together.eu/event/europe-tomorrow-left/

Many mayors, including Anne Hidalgo (Paris), Paul Magnette (Charleroi), Stéphane Le Foll (Le Mans), Daniël Termont (Ghent), Christophe Rouillon (Coulaines), will attend. European socialist leaders, including PES President Sergei Stanishev and European Commissioner for economic and monetary affairs Pierre Moscovici, and several vice-presidents of the S&D Group - Kathleen van Brempt, Maria João Rodrigues and Eric Andrieu - as well as vice-president of the European Parliament Sylvie Guillaume - will also be present to animate the debates.
