A
huge thank you to all 2000 convention participants
– now let’s build!

by Philip Cordery, PES Secretary
General

Success in numbers, success in atmosphere and
success on content - this was the universal
opinion of over 2000 participants who attended the
PES Convention last week. The convention was
capped by rousing speeches by PES interim
President Sergei
Stanishev, PES outgoing President
Poul
Nyrup Rasmussen and by S&D Group
President, Martin
Schulz, that paid tribute to the
energy of the Convention goers. All speeches
emphasised that the Convention marked the start of
a building process for European Social Democracy.

delivered in fine style. From Fair
Economy to Equal
Societies, from a Just
World to Active
Democracy the participants committed to a
transparent and confident analysis of the
issues.

work!

of the Convention have certainly been a turning
point in the history of the PES activists. It
