Hello European comrades,
I would like to know your opinions about the "One Seat"-campaign for stopping moving and travelling the Parliament between Brussels and Strasbourg.
Don't we believe that the money used on moving the Parliament could be used better than that? Don't we think that the citizens in the union deserves better than wasting our money by moving the Parliament to Strasbourg and back to Brussels?
We can use those money better than that. We can build a New Social Europa with a flexible labour market, a social security for everyone, a new climate policy and a common responsibily of solving the big problems in the whole union.
I would like to hear some opinions from you, pals!
Young regards,
Jakob Esmann

This claim may be the essence of the discussion which the German Member of the Federal Parliament, Ortwin Runde (SPD), had invited to in Hamburg, Germany, on 2008-11-06. Subject of this evening meeting was how the current financial crisis could be mastered. As special guests Runde could welcome trade union chairman Michael Sommer (DGB), Knut Fleckenstein (SPD, Member of the Hamburg Parliament, MEP candidate 2009), and the former Secretary of State Dr. Cornelie Sonntag-Wolgast (SPD).
The panel reminded that today’s measures towards the financial
crisis were against the zeitgeist of the last 30 years which were
neo-liberal or market-radical then. People claiming these tools
had been laughed at and been put aside. Obviously the current
crisis will affect the small people in the end. Therefore the SPD
and the trade unions have to back these people and develop a
convincing socio-financial policy. The panel was of the opinion
that the economy has to be democratically controlled and that the
state should use and demand its influence. No one doubted the
(social) free-market economy, but the panel saw today’s world
economy as a kind of casino capitalism. The debaters argued that
the former German red-green government had its share in the
problematic developments in Germany. However, that government had
been fallen victim of the former zeitgeist, but could withstand a
total subjection under pure economic interests, e.g. in the field
of consumer...

Socialists should listen more to genuine public concerns about the impact on public services of migration, UK Immigration Minister Liam Byrne told a fringe meeting at Labour Party conference in Manchester.
He argued that immigration was a fact of globalisation, and that Britain is richer as a result of migration – but that impacts on schools, hospitals and housing were real and that local and national Government must do more to anticipate and deal with these impacts.
Byrne outlined what the Labour Government was doing create a fair and progressive migration policy including independent assessment of the skills needed in the country, a points system for legal migration, a clampdown on illegal immigration (including illegal work and illegal employers), and better planning to anticipate impacts on services. He also said that more needed to be done about integration – especially language acquisition – and that employers would be expected to contribute to language training of migrant staff.
Interesting ideas ...

Marek Siwiec, Vice-President of the European Parliament and
member of the Socialist Group in the EP has initiated an action
"Good Bag".
Throughout his constituency in the Wielkopolska region Marek
Siwiec's assistants and members of local bodies of Democratic
Left Alliance (SLD) have been distributing eco bags of the PSE
Group in the EP with attached letters of the MEP and leaflets
with environmental tips.
Also, the inhabitants could take part in a survey and find out
about their Carbon Footprint.
The action, very much liked by the inhabitants, will be conducted
in 30 districts.

I hope that this
campaign will still be relevant - in spite the depressing outcome
of the referendum in Ireland (of which I will speak no more for
now!).
Danish Member of the European Parliament, Christel Schaldemose, has started a cross-party campaign for having women represented among the 4 EU top leaders which will - hopefully all! - be appointed during the next year. If the Lisbon treaty is ratified we will see the following very important EU posts:
Have you ever seen a 'family photo' from meetings in the Council? Well, if you haven't allow me to enlighten you: it's black suits, suits and more suits. There are very few women top leaders in Europe. For me there is no doubt that we need a more equal representation of women and men.
Therefore, I encourage you to support Christel's initiative: Sign the online petition or join the

I completely agree
with PES activist Natalia Reyes when she writes that gender equality
should be one of the top priorities of the PES manifesto – as it is
a priority for the Spanish government. Having Zapatero and PSOE in government in
Spain has demonstrated that when women vote for a socialist party
their lives really improve. In many ways we are experiencing the
New Social Europe in Spain: Equal pay, childcare and attention to
violence against women.Publié mercredi 23 avril 2008 à 09h30

Merci à Jon Worth pour ses propositions sur la façon dont
les partis socialistes et sociaux-démocrates européens peuvent
faire campagne ensemble pour les élections de 2009.
L'idéal pour moi serait d'organiser cinq événements durant la
campagne électorale au cours desquels les gens dans différentes
villes européennes s'en iraient faire campagne dans la rue en
même temps. Ce serait épatant par exemple de voir des militants
du PSE à Londres, à Paris et à Budapest se réunir devant la
mairie de la ville exactement au même moment le même jour. Je
crois que de tels événements auraient une grande valeur
symbolique.
Pour ce qui est du contenu, j'invite tous les militants du PSE et les partis nationaux à nous soumettre cinq grandes propositions pour le programme électoral du PSE. J'appelle ces propositions nos 'fleurons' - et nous avons besoin de cinq fleurons afin qu'ils puissent être utilisés par les partis socialistes et sociaux-démocrates dans leur campagne. Ces propositions ne doivent pas être techniques mais bien des idées progressistes...
