The Circular Economy

Europe’s economy is currently based on ‘take-make-consume-dispose’ model. It assumes that resources and energy are available and cheap. This publication sets out the PES policy proposals for a new model: the Circular Economy. It will deliver benefits for workers and citizens, create a stronger and more sustainable economy, and ensure our planet’s boundaries are respected.

Just Transition

We fully support the green transition, but we are socialists and we believe that it shouldn’t leave anyone behind. Environmental sustainability is an effort of our societies as a whole. We must accompany workers from carbon-intensive sectors, as well as families, with policies to help them. The transition must be socially sustainable.

A New Fair Deal for the Eurozone and the EU

The euro is one of the most ambitious political projects of all time, but it lacks completion. The PES supports the strengthening of the single market and an EU banking and capital union. We believe that, through common rules and solidarity, we will reach upward economic convergence.

PES Programme for Progressive Reforms

The time of austerity is over, because austerity has failed. Cutting on social spending is a bad business. We want stronger welfare states that can invest in boosting job creation and protecting citizens. We want everyone to pay their fair share for the common good.
