We are the Party of European Socialists. We work for a Europe with more economic justice, sustainability, non-discrimination and equality between women and men.

The Party of European Socialists (PES) brings together the Socialist, Social Democratic and Labour Parties of the EU. The PES is our common platform, where our members come together: activists, party executives, Secretary Generals, Leaders, youth organisations, MPs, MEPs, European Commissioners, Ministers and Prime-Ministers of socialist, social-democratic, labour and democratic parties and organisations within Europe. We also exchange best practices and engage in political campaigning. Our main aim is to support our member parties and organisations. Together, we change the European political agenda.

The PES stands proudly in solidarity with our sister party The Democrats and leader Yair Golan as the ballots continue to be counted after yesterday’s elections in Israel.

As Yair rightly stated:
"The vote of an Israeli citizen casting a ballot in Tira is worth exactly the same as the vote of an Israeli citizen casting a ballot in Givat Shmuel. Not less. Exactly the same."

True democracy leaves no room for division or racism. European Social Democrats stand with those courageously defending universal democratic equality and a shared future.

🌡️We can’t afford another summer like 2026.
Europe must be ready for the impacts of climate change: protecting people, strengthening our communities, and investing in a fair transition.

🇪🇺We support the European Commission’s new climate resilience package, presented by Executive Vice-President Teresa Ribera. Our cities and regions need the resources to prepare for extreme heat, wildfires, droughts, and floods.

🤝Climate resilience matters. Cutting emissions matters. We need both.

Israel deserves a future built on democracy, equality and peace.

Ahead of tomorrow’s elections, the Party of European Socialists (PES) stands in solidarity with The Democrats, our associated member party, and its leader, Yair Golan.

In a joint letter, PES President Stefan Löfven and Secretary General Giacomo Filibeck expressed their support:

“A democratic, liberal and progressive Israel, grounded in the rule of law and respect for the fundamental rights of all its citizens, is essential to the country’s future.”

We share a commitment to social justice and to a just and lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians through a two-state solution, enabling both peoples to live in peace, security and dignity.

“We hope that the elections will mark a step towards renewed confidence in democratic institutions and a more just, inclusive and hopeful future for Israel and all its citizens,” they wrote.

✅Facts matter. Especially when democracy is at stake.

🇧🇷 Claims that Brazil’s presidential election was rigged because of the two-hour extension of voting are circulating. But important facts are being left out.

🗳️PES Secretary General Giacomo Filibeck, who was in Brazil alongside Lula's campaign, following the electoral process, including the vote count, stated:

🤝“Both Lula’s and Flávio Bolsonaro’s campaigns requested additional voting time.

🚎 Lula’s campaign requested a nationwide extension following public transport disruptions in several cities, allegedly deliberately caused by right-wing mayors to obstruct voters’ access to polling stations. Flávio Bolsonaro’s campaign sought an extension in municipalities affected by severe weather.

⚖️Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court (STF) initially ordered voting to continue until 7 pm nationwide, later clarifying that the extension applied only to polling stations that had not yet closed.

📲According to reports published today, only 35,521 people voted during the extended hours. That is a negligible fraction of Brazil’s electorate. Even if every single one of those votes had gone to Lula, they would represent less than 1% of his approximately 4.4 million-vote lead over Flávio Bolsonaro. The final result was 51.79% to 48.21%.

✒️Claims of electoral fraud must be supported by evidence. Democracy depends on facts, transparency and respect for democratic institutions.”

🇷🇸 Congratulations to the Student List on winning Serbia’s elections, igniting a democratic rebirth across the Balkan nation.

🪧 From the streets to the ballot box, students, young people, and citizens have demanded accountability, justice, and change. In a record-turnout election, the newly formed anti-Vučić coalition secured a full majority in the country’s parliament despite serious concerns of corruption and voter intimidation.

🗳️ As PES President Stefan Löfven said: “Democracy is not simply inherited. It is defended, renewed and carried forward by every generation.”

🇪🇺 Today, their determination marks a hopeful new chapter for Serbia. Together with our sister parties, the Democratic Party (DS) and the Party of Freedom and Justice (SSP), we stand for a fairer, democratic, and European future.

Congratulations, Brazil! 🇧🇷

Millions of Brazilians have made their voices heard, reminding the world of the extraordinary power of democracy.

Democracy is not something we can ever take for granted. It is something we must defend, protect and renew, generation after generation.
At a time when fear and division are gaining ground across the world, Brazil reminds us that hope can overcome fear, that solidarity can overcome division, and that a better future is always worth fighting for.

Congratulations to President Lula and our sister party, PT - Partido dos Trabalhadores, on this remarkable victory!

As PES President Stefan Löfven said:
“The future is never written by those who spread fear, but by the people who refuse to give up on hope.”

PES Secretary General Giacomo Filibeck was in São Paulo to join the “Caminhada do Lula” in support of Lula and the PT, demonstrating the solidarity of the European progressive family. He also followed the electoral process, including the vote count.

Remembering Yitzhak Rabin means keeping alive the hope for peace, dialogue and a future built on mutual respect.

On 21–22 October, PES Secretary General Giacomo Filibeck and Deputy Secretary General Saar Van Bueren visited Israel and Palestine to commemorate Rabin’s legacy, meet with Yair Golan, leader of The Democrats, and discuss the political situation ahead of the Israeli elections.

In Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, the delegation paid tribute to Rabin’s commitment to peace. In Ramallah, they met with Yasser Abbas of the Palestinian Authority to discuss the situation facing Palestinians and efforts to restore peace and stability.

The delegation also met with Marwan Barghouti’s wife, Fadwa, and son, Arab, to convey the solidarity of PES President Stefan Löfven and reiterate the call for his release.

The path to peace must be built on dialogue, respect for international law, and the recognition of the rights, dignity and security of both Israelis and Palestinians. A two-state solution remains essential to achieving a just and lasting peace.
