The declaration, titled "In Defence of Democracy," was released on Wednesday with the signatures of the Socialists & Democrats (S&D), Renew Europe, the Greens/EFA and The Left but, remarkably, without the stamp of the centre-right formation. The two-page statement is a reaction to the attack against Matthias Ecke, a socialist MEP who was beaten up over the weekend while he was putting up campaign posters in Dresden, Germany. Four suspects, aged between 17 and 18, have been identified in connection to the incident, which sent shockwaves through Brussels. Ursula von der Leyen, the EPP's lead can...

"I'm quite reluctant with these deals which have to still to prove efficient. We're spending now huge amounts of money, giving this money to different regimes or governments like the Tunisian government. We know the authorities there are really treating very badly the refugees," Schmit told Euronews in an exclusive interview filmed on Tuesday morning. "We still have the problem in Lybia, where there (are) two governments. We have the question in Egypt. So I'm quite reluctant with this kind of deals," he went on.

But parties vying for seats in the hemicycle have more ideas on the hot-button issu...

The Maastricht debate, co-hosted by Politico Europe and Studio Europa, lasted one hour and a half and saw a continued exchange of political ideas, which ranged from fiery and passionate to awkward and stilted. On stage were the so-called Spitzenkandidaten, the aspirants to preside over the European Commission after the June elections: Ursula von der Leyen (European People's Party), Nicolas Schmit (Party of European Socialists), Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann (Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party), Bas Eickhout (European Green Party), Anders Vistisen (Identity and Democracy Party)...

On paper, the two-day meeting over the weekend was designed to extol the chief achievements of social democracy over the past five years, parade a succession of high-profile leaders and designate a lead candidate for the continent-wide polls. The lucky one was Nicolas Schmit, a relatively unknown figure who led the internal race uncontested. His credentials as European Commissioner for Jobs and Social Rights were convincing enough to earn him an election by acclamation. "Comrades, we have a project of hope, of progress, of justice and shared prosperity. I'm ready to lead our political family t...

Schmit, the current European Commissioner for jobs and social rights, received the mandate by acclamation on Saturday afternoon at the end of the party's congress in Rome. The 70-year-old politician from Luxembourg led the internal race uncontested, as he was the only name put forward. "We will not allow that Europe will take the path of austerity and social repression as it did during the financial crisis. This is the main argument, this why we want to win these elections, together, in all 27 member states," Schmit told the audience at La Nuvola, on the outskirts of Rome, as he took the stage...
