The annual March of Equality walked through the city of
Poznan, capital of the Wielkopolska region.
Approximately three hundred people took part and 350 policemen
protected them. But apparently it was not enough.
Right after the conclusion of the demonstration, a few young
activists holding banners: ¨Diversity YES, Intolerance No¨
bearing PES were attacked by thugs and hooligans.
Mateusz was severely beaten, just because he was carrying a PES
banner. A girl who was accompanying him, Magda, had her arms
twisted in order to take the banner away from her. The rest of
the staff managed to escape from the attackers.
“Our activists were attacked because they were demonstrating
peacefully for tolerance. I am very glad that they were not
seriously injured, and my first thoughts are with them. I thank
them for their bravery and I wish them a full and fast recovery
from their injuries and their undoubted shock”, said Poul Nyrup
Rasmussen, the PES President.
“I also have a
message for the cowards who carried out the attack. We will not
be intimidated by this violence. Not in Poznan, not anywhere. It
will only strengthen our determination...

Depuis hier (23.10.2008), le Parti Socialiste (Belgique) invite ses membres à rejoindre les militants du PSE via son site
Nul doute que cette initiative contribuera fortement au développement des militants en Wallonie et à Bruxelles.
Dans le même ordre d'idée, le premier groupe de militants issu du PS verra le jour le 7 novembre prochain à Namur. A cette occasion, une rencontre-débat se tiendra sur "Les enjeux des élections européennes de 2009"

The PES encourages its activists and member parties to support
the European Women’s Lobby 50/50 campaign for more women at the
top of European politics
www.5050democracy.eu
Zita Gurmai, President of PES Women and great supporter of
the European Women’s Lobby campaign, said: “It gives me great
pleasure to support the European Women’s Lobby 50/50 campaign. We
need more women at every level of European politics, including at
the top. It has been a disgrace to see how few women were ever
mentioned in all that talk about people supposedly in the frame
for top EU jobs. I think it made people realize that something
needed to be done to promote the involvement of women. The EU is
not a men’s club.”

Il y a quelques jours, le SD danois a arrêté sa liste de
candidats pour les prochaines élections européennes: Dan
Jørgensen, jeune eurodéputé de 33 ans et le plus jeune candidat
social-démocrate, en sera la tête de liste. Yourspace a rencontré
Dan et lui a posé quelques questions sur sa nomination, sur la
composition de la liste et sur l'humeur générale au Danemark par
rapport à l'UE.
Vous avez regardé la vidéo? Partagez votre avis avec nous. Que pensez-vous du choix de ce jeune candidat comme tête de liste? Etes-vous d'accord avec son analyse du changement de perception dans l'opinion publique danoise par rapport à l'Europe?

La gouvernance
démocratique dépend d'une participation citoyenne active tant de
la part de ceux et celles qui se présentent à un poste élu que de
ceux et celles qui les élisent.
Les membres socialistes du Comité des régions, assemblée politique qui permet aux autorités locales et régionales de s'exprimer au coeur même de l'Union européenne, organisent une conférence sur le thème "Mobilising for Democracy, elections turnout and voting behaviour" ('Mobilisés pour la démocratie, participation et comportements électoraux').
Si l'événement vous intéresse et si vous voulez avoir une idée
des différents systèmes électoraux et comportements dans l'UE et
explorer les spécificités de certains électorats comme les
expatriés, les minorités ethinques, les électeurs plus jeunes ou
plus vieux, ou encore les femmes, veuillez remplir le bulletin
d'inscription en ligne ici.

Political parties primarily use the internet to win votes. A secondary purpose is to galvanise and mobilise supporters. In a previous posting, I argue that many conventional approaches to internet campaigning ignore these simple conversion metrics and try to apply glossy promotional techniques which alienate, bore and patronise the general public - especially a public experiencing tough economic times.
We have to acknowledge that a large part of the electorate are not interested in reading about politics on the internet. Pornography and shopping are the real generators of internet traffic and revenue, and this is not likely to change, despite online video continuing to gain in popularity. Blogs have mushroomed in numbers, but despite the vibrancy of some, a US study recently revealed that only 56% of American internet users actually read political blogs. Of these, only 17% were under 21 years old - and all of these users tended to stick with the same one or two blogs on a regular basis.
It appears that blogs are often literally preaching to the converted, but this is not always the case. In the UK the most popular blogs have tended to be written by conservatives from a center-right perspective. It's certainly true that the readership of these is not necessarily right-wing - showing how wider popularity can be gained amongst the public through quality writing and coverage of interesting topics.
The question, then, is how anything as apparently... Lire la suitePublié vendredi 29 août 2008 à 10h46

Les militants du
PSE de Hongrie ont trouvé une façon originale d'exprimer leur
soutien à Barack Obama en préparant une confiture d'abricot pour
le candidat démocrate à la présidence des Etats-Unis.
De fait, le mot "barack" signifie littéralement "abricot" en hongrois. Ainsi, des militants du PSE hongrois réunis dans la ville de Tallya ont décidé de produire et de vendre cette confiture d'abricot sous l'étiquette "Barack for Obama" (de l'abricot pour Obama). Les fonds ainsi recolletés sont allés à des organisations locales de lutte contre la pauvreté infantile.
Comme le dit Matyas Gati, l'un des organisateurs de la campagne, “C'est une façon amusante de faire passer un message sérieux. Barack Obama est très populaire en Hongrie parce qu'il est si charismatique et aussi parce qu'il représente une véritable alternative aux Républicains qui ont créé un tel gâchis aux Etats-Unis et ailleurs. Nous voulions aussi montrer que nous, les militants du PSE, partageons les mêmes valeurs démocratiques et les mêmes aspirations que M....

On the back cover of
DSU'eren, the magazine of the Danish Social Democratic Youth (DSU), you can
spot this recruitment poster for PES activists Denmark: 'We want
you!" Do you recognize the person who has taken the place of Mr.
Lincoln? Yes, you're right, it's Poul Nyrup Rasmussen, the PES
President.
Thanks to DSU for their creativity and enthusiasm!
If I caught the attention of any Danes with this post I'll take
the opportunity and spread some other good news: PES activists
Denmark will be present at the upcoming Congress of the Danish party. Meet Danish PES
activists at the PES stand in Aalborg Congress Centre on the 6th
and 7th of September 2008!

How do we turn our
political ideas and visions into great campaigns?
In my view, this is the next big challenge that PES activists are
up for! Since October last year PES activists have discussed the
PES manifesto and what issues and ideas should be in it -
'online' on Yourspace as well as 'offline' at manifesto meetings
all over Europe.
We have lots and lots of amazing ideas and I almost can't wait to
get started on the campaigning! Before long we will have to pick
from our ideas and select the issues which we would like to give
special attention in future international PES activist campaigns.
Are some issues more 'suitable' for cross-border, grassroot
campaigning than others?
A few days ago I gave a presentation at the ECOSY summer camp (ECOSY is the European Young Socialists which gathers socialist youth movements from all over Europe) where I suggested four basic principles which, in my view, should guide the 'transition' from visionary manifesto process to succesful campaigning. Here goes:

With the freedom of movement that citizens enjoy within the European Union there are thousands of PES member party members living, working or studying in other European countries. With the right to vote in their country of residence, what better time than the European elections for socialists and social democrats from different European countries living in the same city to come together? The PES sees enormous potential to mobilize in their country of residence party members and supporters abroad. Many of our member parties agree, and want to work together to get all socialist and social democratic party members to work together regardless of their nationality. Already parties such as the Portuguese PS and Romanian PSD are working to integrate their members abroad into local party sections in their...

After a successful
workshop on online campaigning at the Vienna Forum, several
activists offered us their ideas. Jon Worth pointed to the need
for further online debate and commentary in the run up to the
2009 elections. Aidan O’Sullivan highlighted the need for
grassroots activist to activist campaigning using all
available media. One activist suggested the creation of a Europe
wide holiday.

Think Obama,
not Blair!
Be careful with negative campaigning, but not afraid of it!
Online campaigning is as much hard work as traditional
campaigning!
Keep moderation of online fora to a minimum, but make sure
that 'trolls' don't spoil the fun and limit participation!
These were just a few of the conclusions from the workshop on online campaigning at the recent PES activist forum in Vienna.
The workshop's panel consisted in four PES activists sharing
their experiences with online tools: Jon Worth from the UK,
Esteban Romero from Spain, Victor Negrescu from Romania and
myself, Rikke Skovgaard Andersen from Denmark. All speakers are
heavily involved in online campaigning activities.
The presentations varied from general advice on online
campaigning and use of social networks to presentations of
concrete, online activities and tools that PES activists can use.
The panel answered several questions from the audience - among
other things the debate adressed topics such as 'critical mass'
for an online debate forum, advantages vs. disadvantages of
online polls and the feasibility for 'Obama-style' fundraising
via small, online donations.
There's a lot of potential in online campaigning - something which workshop participants were certainly aware of. Online tools...

The
Vienna forum was a very rich encounter. As for me the
presentation of activist campaigning was especially interesting,
since I tend to get easily involved. On the one hand there is the
manifesto2009, well under way that gives us a common platform for
the parliamentary elections, but that does not give me clues as
how to campaign. The Manifesto is an excellent tool, but we have
to sell it.
In the presentation "Experience Europe - Cross-border campaign exchanges" the panel was formed by four activists presenting different aspects of their campaigning in Ireland, Spain, Portugal and France.
Adrian O'Sullivan presented us his experience with PES activists
coming to Ireland to help in their election. I wasn't planning to
make a report, and therefore took no notes, just took pictures.
Adrian mentioned that integrating the non Irish activists was a
priority. There were the logistic...

This weekend I will be
doing a presentation on social networking tools at the PES activist forum in
Vienna. I was glad to find out that there’ll be a workshop
dedicated to online campaigning - and now I'm looking very much
forward to debating the topic with other PES activists. Therefore,
I thought it would be appropriate with a few words on online
campaigning and my particular ‘campaigning speciality’, namely
