2018, a decisive electoral year

Elections in 2018 will set the tone for the future of the European Union — and we stand ready to support all progressive parties, wherever they face electoral challenges! Some of our government parties will face the popular vote. Some of our governments-in-waiting will fight for the power to change the political agenda. All of that is setting the stage for the 2019 European elections and will be shaping European policy, hopefully in a progressive way, with a Union more social and more opened towards its citizens.
