There cannot be social progress without economic progress

The #SocialProgressProtocol would mean a Treaty change ending the existing balance between social rights and the four freedoms of the internal market

▶️We must keep this balance, without creating a hierarchy between them

📢 Live from #ALDAFestival2023 ▶️ On behalf of Oliver Röpke, Dragica Martinovic presented European Economic and Social Committee activities & strong cooperation with #CivilSociety in the #WesternBalkans region.
