S&Ds call on EU leaders to stand firm against Trump's populist and protectionist punitive tariffs

S&D - Socialists and Democrats
Reacting to the announcement that US punitive tariffs on steel and aluminium on EU imports would enter into force as of tomorrow, S&D Group leader Udo Bullmann said:
 
“The imposition of US tariffs on EU steel and aluminium exports is unacceptable and unjustified. These punitive tariffs are in clear breach of international law and it is simply absurd to consider the EU a national security threat to the US. Protectionism and unilateral actions only contribute to the spiralling out of control of a crisis.

Stop cracking down on women’s rights activists, say the S&Ds to the government of Saudi Arabia

S&D - Socialists and Democrats
Socialists and Democrats were the leading political force behind the resolution that was adopted today by the European Parliament to condemn the recent cracking down on women’s right activists in Saudi Arabia.  At least 11 people were arrested, mostly women, for promoting the right of women to drive. Four of them were reportedly released, but the rest could face long prison sentences. We demand their immediate release and ask the EU member states for targeted measures against Saudi individuals implicated in grave human rights violations.
 

Women’s empowerment must be central to EU’s foreign policy

S&D - Socialists and Democrats
The European Parliament today backed the S&D Group’s call for female empowerment to be put at the heart of the EU’s foreign policy. Progressive MEPs in the Parliament ensured that the report highlighted the importance of women’s empowerment and their right to sexual and reproductive self-determination, as a pre-condition for sustainable development.

Stamp of ZERO HOUR CONTRACTS
Following a series of petitions sent to the European Parliament signed by more than 31,000 people, the S&D Group has urged the Commission to crack down on multinational companies that use abusive zero-hour contracts. The petitions were linked to a campaign by McDonalds’ workers fighting for better working conditions and an end to precarious contracts.
 

S&Ds: more needs to be done to make the European Pillar of Social Rights and the Education and Culture programmes a concrete reality

S&D - Socialists and Democrats
The new legislative proposals for the European Social Policy 2021-2027 presented by the European Commission focus on making the European Pillar of Social Rights a reality and composes of the European Social Fund Plus with the budget of €101.2 billion, and the European Globalisation Fund of €1.6 billion.  However, the S&D Group is concerned that while the new ESF+ fund merges a number of funds fighting youth unemployment, inequalities, social exclusion, poverty and investing in mobility and skills of European citizens, this makes the rules less clear and the budget 6% less.
