What are you reading this summer? Our team is currently checking out "How to Win an Information War: The propagandist who outwitted Hitler”, Peter Pomerantsev’s latest - one of the leading expert on disinformation. We enjoyed his previous books "Nothing is True and Everything is Possible" and "This Is Not a Propaganda" in which he exposed the frightening world of manipulation in Russia and around the globe. Another team favourite - “Rien n’est noir” by Claire Berest - takes us into the life of stunning Frida Kahlo. An insightful read for sunny beach days. Share with us your summer reads! We need inspiration!😏 #summerreads #summerbooks

Facing an emergency outside the EU? Your EU country doesn’t have an embassy there? Fear not. As an EU citizen, you can get help from the embassy of ANY other EU member state, if your country doesn’t have an embassy there. #assistance #europe #emergency #incaseofemergency

It's here! The EU Artificial Intelligence Act that we relentlessly fought for, enters into force today, throughout the European Union! The first of its kind! Despite opposition from lobbyists, (some) member states and some industry, the European Parliament, led by our Brando Benifei has managed to deliver legislation that protects people from misuse of AI. We've made sure that AI systems will not be permitted to be used to "predict" if a person might commit a crime. AI systems will not be used to deduce a person's ethnic, religious or political affiliation based on their biometric data and they will not be able to be used to recognise emotions in the workplace or in education. Our team also fought hard to ensure that workers and unions will have to be informed of the use of Artificial Intelligence on them and that all content generated by AI will be clearly indicated. Technical progress should never come at the expense of people’s fundamental rights! AI should always be used to the people’s benefit! #AI #artificialintelligence #AIact #artificialintelligenceact #legislation #europeanunion

Always a great pleasure to welcome our friend and designated European Council President Antonio Costa! For we know that our progressive family will continue to be the driving force of social progress and equality in Europe. For the people and the planet. Our achievements so far were only possible because our political family stands united. Unity will be needed in the coming days, months, years and it will be indispensible to ensure the EU protects and promotes the values that make our Union a success story. #eucouncil #antoniocosta #euleaders #solidarity #eupolitics

Congratulations, Katarina, Pina, Victor, Christel and Javi! We are happy that the new Bureau of the European Parliament has a strong pro-European presence, thanks to our five Vice-Presidents. We’re looking ahead at 2,5 years of work for our citizens and we are sure our team will rise to the challenge. Social rights, the green transition that leaves nobody behind, protecting democracy and the rule of law, fair taxation, decent housing are just a few of the priorities our team will work for in the European Parliament’s Bureau. And the S&D Group will always be there in support and solidarity! Go, Team S&D! ✊ #europeanparliament #elections #vicepresidents #bureau #teamSD
