We welcome the #LaHulpe Declaration, signed today by our Secretary-General Heather Roy as Acting President of the Social Platform !

It is a crucial step towards embedding social ambition in the EU's next mandates

.Social Platform signs the #LaHulpe declaration as a renewed commitment to the #SocialPillar . Now, EU institutions must translate this into concrete policies, in a revised #EPSR Action Plan that fills gaps & delivers the #SocialEurope people want & need. A reminder & our views👇

🤗 ENSIE is in La Hulpe with the Social Platform delegation to highlight the role of #socialeconomy and #WISEs in addressing inequalities.

💪 We need the full implementation of the #SocialEconomyActionPlan and of the #CouncilRecommendation in all the EU Member States.

As Social Platform member, we support the network move to sign #LaHulpeDeclaration . Yet ATD Fourth World members are among the poorest EU citizens & they call for a #SocialEurope with strong commitments to #SocialRights & #EPSR . We do have concerns on the direction we’re heading to.

Today Social Platform signs #LaHulpe Declaration

With changing political winds & shrinking space for #SocialEurope we need this commitment to the EPSR, Porto Targets & the revision of the Action Plan

However as civil society we have concerns about the direction we’re heading👇

🌍❗️“The next mandate needs to set an ambitious social agenda, supported by a long-term fund post-2026 to deliver a fair and inclusive #JustTransition ”
