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...

First of all, I introduce myself: my name is Gianfranco, I am 20 and I study Classic Literature in Palermo, Sicily. I have been a member of the Partito Socialista Italiano (PSI) since last year, and I am also coordinator in my city, Bagheria, and member of the Federazione dei Giovani Socialisti.
The
Italian Socialist Party, led by Riccardo Nencini, just organised
a three days event “Socialistinfesta@Mondoperaio” in Vieste, in
the South of Italy.
The PSI: its name is self-explanations, but it is good to underline that it is the only Italian political force which openly declare itself to be inspired by European Socialism’s progressive reformist values.
The title of the event “FUTURE PRESENT! The conflict of ideas” well summarises its theme. A moment for meeting all the forces and reformist spirits, not just the socialist ones, a step for starting building a new political platform able to guarantee to our Country a stable reformist government.
Influential representatives from the political, cultural and social world participated the meetings and discussed themes that have always concerned the...

Immediately
following the NO vote in the recent Irish referendum activists
from the Irish Labour Party, French Parti Socialiste and others
have set up PES activists Dublin. We were
already planning such an initiative but the referendum result
gave added urgency to our work. We recognise that this is
potentially a defining moment in Ireland's relationship with the
EU and as a consequence in the structure and dynamics of Irish
politics.
The inaugural meeting of PES activists in Ireland was held on
Tuesday 24th June in the Labour Parliamentary Room in Leinster
House, Dublin - the home of the Oireachtas (Irish Parliament). We
met below a mural which showed the early and more modern leaders
of the Irish labour movement grouped around an image of Marianne
leading the French people in the Revolution of 1830. Ireland's
republicanism and our socialism owe much to the example of the
French revolutions and meeting beneath this mural was our way of
paying homage to that tradition.
Our aim is to build European Left politics on the ground in
Dublin. Since June, more than 70 activists have joined our city
group. There is enormous interest both in Dublin and across
Ireland in what we are proposing. PES people are "on the move" in
Ireland! Two events in particular have brought in extra
members:...

Les militants du Parti social-démocrate roumain se sont rencontrés pour débattre du programme électoral du PSE pour 2009 et de l'avenir de la gauche européenne.
Le premier jour, la fondation sociale-démocrate roumaine ‘Ovidiu Sincai’ a invité les militants à un débat dans son siège à Bucarest. Quelque 30 étudiants, intellectuels et militants du parti ont participé à la réunion et ont partagé leurs idées sur l'avenir de la social-démocratie en Europe. Parmi les intervenants se trouvaient la directrice de la fondation Ovidiu Sincai, Anne Juganaru, l'eurodéputé Titus Corlatean et le secrétaire général du PSE Philip Cordery.
Le deuxième jour, les discussions se sont poursuivies à Brasov, dans le cadre d'un séminaire pour les militants du PSE roumains. Bien que l'activité se soit déroulée peu de temps avant les élections locales, quelque 100 militants roumains ont pris part à la discussion sur le programme électoral du PSE à l'occasion de la Journée de l'Europe, le 9 mai. Le secrétaire...
