The leader of the Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, Udo Bullmann, was present today in the PES congress together with a delegation of the S&D Group. At the closure of the congress, following speeches by Frans Timmermans and Pedro Sánchez, Udo Bullmann said:
With the view to highlight the importance of a common understanding on hybrid threats, the Romanian Presidency of the Council of the European Union and the European Centre of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats (Hybrid CoE) organized a two-day joint workshop on EU-NATO cooperation in civil protection. The workshop took stock of EU and NATO requirements and methods for civil protection by testing them in a table top exercise dealing with a medical-based scenario.
Today the S&D president Udo Bullmann will present in Madrid the Progressive Society policy report on Sustainable Equality, a document elaborated by a group of independent experts and practitioners, which inspires a new progressive vision for the future of Europe.
