Jeremy Corbyn and Sergey Stanishev discuss cooperation in Brussels

The city of Brussels has named a square after Labour MP Jo Cox, brutally murdered in the run-up of the Brexit referendum in 2016. The mayor of Brussels, UK Labour representatives led by Jeremy Corbyn, relatives of Jo Cox, MEP’s from the S&D group and representatives from the PES attended the ceremony. 

After the inauguration ceremony, Stanishev and Corbyn discussed the cooperation between the PES and the UK Labour, which is one of the oldest full member parties in the political family.

Stanishev stated that the PES welcomes the outcome of the UK Labour annual conference, a proof of the party’s strength and ability to turn Britain’s public opinion towards a more progressive agenda.
