PES activists contributions
PES activists are members of PES member parties that are active on European level. We can proudly state that we are the only European Party that has 20,000 grassroots activists from all Member States and there are even more than 80 local groups connected to the PES activists city group network.

Ivica Racan – Man of integrity
The Party of European Socialists today mourns the loss of Ivica Racan, the Leader of the Croatian Social Democrats.
