PES activists are participating on the Vienna Forum to discuss the New Social Europe and to defend our values: democracy, freedom, Human Rights. We encourage everybody to spread the socialist point of views.

We should spread our voice. Improve cooperation between European and national Socialist parties is the solution. We want to build a New Social Europe based on the equity of opportunities and solidarity but to achieve it we need your help and support.

It is important to defend women rights. Being a woman should not be an obstacle. Women are intelligent, talented… Women have innovative ideas. We, women, have the support of the socialist leaders and politics. Socialists have the challenge to create a New Social Europe. They engage themselves to think and find solutions for people’s real problems. That’s why the manifesto2009 is being prepared.µ

We have the resources, the organization, people and our essential strengths: our values!

One of my best experiences at the Vienna event was to see how important gender equality seems to be to PES activists. From the 2 manifesto workshops I attended there was a clear message from the audience and the speakers: Gender equality should be given priority in the PES manifesto.

I especially appreciated the presentation and ideas from Sonja, put forward in the workshop on democracy and diversity. I agree that we can learn from Zapatero's victory in Spain: parties can win elections on campaigning for women's rights and equality between the genders!
