Editorial

Now
let’s work together for the Europe we
need

After our
Congress this weekend (29 September, 2012) the
first, and most important thing, I would like to
say to the 500-plus participants and to the
European Socialist family as a whole, is thanks
you for your trust. It will be my
motivation.
I wanted to become PES President
because I am a passionate European and I will
make huge efforts to put this passion into the
continuing evolution of the
PES.

PES
activists at Congress 2012 begin planning
towards 2014

There is a
lot of work to do following from the feedback
from activists at the Congress, but a strong
message came out of the meeting, that it is time
for PES activists as an entity to move forward.
From this meeting we will endeavor to make sure
that the next forum is not just more interactive
but that it will have concrete results that will
allow PES activists to be a central and driving
force during the 2014 elections.
