Socialists and Democrats Group in the European Parliament

Hannes Swoboda: as the old year slowly comes to an end ( in my country with some snow) we have to think about the next years main tasks of the S&D group: 1) In 2014 we commemorate the beginning of World War I and will fight against the nationalism and chauvinism of today. 2) The Economic and Social Crisis is not over. We will continue our work on Banking Union and on establishing binding Social Criteria. 3) We will support all democratic forces in our neighborhood and reject violence and violation of human rights 4) We have to fight for transparent and fair international relations including trade 5) We insist on a Data Protection legislation for all Europeans.
I will issue a more detailed program soon.

Του Γιώργου Κράλογλου

Η Θεσσαλονίκη που πνίγεται στην αιθαλομίχλη, στην ανεργία, στον οικονομικό αφανισμό, με ζημιές μέχρι 94% σε παραγωγικές επιχειρήσεις και ανυπολόγιστες ζημιές στο 60% και άνω των εμπορικών επιχειρήσεων, δείχνει να είναι το πρώτο καζάνι που θα σκάσει από εκείνα που ήδη βράζουν και κάνουν και τον Economist να κατατάσσει την Ελλάδα στις υψηλότερες θέσεις ρίσκου για κοινωνικές αναταραχές μέσα στο 2014.

Θα χαρακτήριζα πρώτος εγώ ως λαϊκίστικη κινδυνολογία την εισαγωγή στο σημερινό μου σημείωμα αν δεν υπήρχαν ορατά στοιχεία.

Αν δεν είχαν γίνει προειδοποιήσεις από τα πλέον υπεύθυνα χείλη των παραγωγικών τάξεων της Θεσσαλονίκης.

Next year S&Ds will fight worker exploitation and social dumping in EU labour markets

Free movement of labour is a core principle in Europe, but some employers have used that to exploit 'low-cost' workers from southern and eastern countries and create unfair competition in national labour markets. We want EU states to have more flexibility in fighting exploitation – for all workers!
