Only 3 more weeks to the European elections!

May 2009 PES President Poul Nyrup Rasmussen: "New majority in the Parliament = Barroso will not be President" We want the European Union to take a new direction. We want a European Union that does what is needed to create new jobs and tackle the economic and climate crisis in a decisive way. That is why the PES cannot support Barroso as President of the European Commission. He represents the conservative majority that has failed Europe over the last five years. He represents the Europe that puts markets before people.
