On December 1st in Madrid Europe’s socialist, social democratic and labour parties will adopt a common manifesto for the European elections in 2009. It will be a joint political platform for 33 parties from 27 EU countries under the umbrella of the Party of European Socialists (PES).

‘People first: A new direction for Europe’ won’t be some lowest common denominator but a powerful document in which the PES

•    sets out a new, progressive direction for Europe,
•    offers a clear choice between the PES and its conservative, liberal and populist opponents,
•    puts forward a serious alternative to 5 years of conservative majority in the European Union.  

We created a common Manifesto thanks to all of you and the contributions you sent us!
Do you want to continue participating, but you cannot come to Madrid?

The PES set up several ways to allow everyone to get involved:

Follow the public adoption of the PES manifesto via the live streaming, available on PES website on Monday the 1st of December from 12.30 to 14.00 (central European time)

Have your say. Ask your question to the PES leaders attending the Plenary on Monday morning, by emailing it at councilmadrid@pes.org by the midnight of Sunday the 31st. The moderator will put it for you! (Remember to write in the subject “Council question for …” and the name of the Leader you want to answer.)

Moreover, Yourspace will constantly publish updates and news from Madrid. You just need to visit the PES blog and leave your feedback!
