Democratic forces still have a clear majority in the European Parliament. The majority of people who came out voted for a democratic Europe. All democratic parties must use their combined majority to deliver on the priorities of hard-working people.

The obsessions of the far right are far from the main concerns of European citizens, whose priorities are quality jobs and ending poverty.

Far right extremists reckless devastating economic security and equality purposely increasing Uncertainty and insecurity are fuelling the ‘backlash’ against the European Green Deal. Tackling the climate crisis is non-negotiable: there are no jobs on a dead planet.

But we must make the transition to a green economy in a way that does not leave workers and their communities behind.

Equally, bringing stability to people’s lives has nothing to do with violating human rights through migration deals with repressive regimes. It means ensuring that every individual has a secure job with an income they can rely on, with enough to provide for themselves and their families—not simply scraping by, week to week, bill to bill. It means ensuring that member states guarantee that workers can unionise and have a real say at work.

                trend through the minimum-wages directive. 

Those in power should not however take it for granted that workers’ support for Europe will continue if they do not take this opportunity to change it, delivering on the real priorities of working people.
