For the French Socialist activists in Brussels, the latest news about the global financial markets remind the necessity to master international financial flows. The product of this law could be used to make globalization more social.

By means of a motion submitted to activists’ signature, they want to mobilize socialist leaders on this issue. They welcome the commitment of some French figures as well as of PES President Poul Nyrup Rasmussen on this matter. The European Parliament itself had shown some will to explore the question.

As the campaign for the 2009 European elections is coming, it is now time to take action in order to include the tax on financial flows into the PES 2009 manifesto.

The motion was signed by French and European activists amongst whom Michel Rocard. You can post a comment if you want to sign the motion as well and your name will be added to the list.

1. Good initiative by mariope Join PES activists on Wednesday, February 27, 2008 at 09:37

The initiative is very good, but this kind of measures must to be establish from a international level. For that reason is necessary to build a very strong European Socialist Party. That way, European Union will have enough power to impose a real social model of taxes at international level.
