  Yesterday Flemish social democrats concluded their debate on the PES manifesto. Over the last month Sp.a, the Flemish social democratic party, has hosted four debates on the themes of the PES manifesto consultation – yesterday evening was the closing event, a final discussion of common priorities for the 2009 elections.
  
  Among other things the evening featured testing of ‘carbon footprints’, videos, debates with NGOs, labour unions and politicians, and speeches by Caroline Gennez, leader of the Sp.a, and Poul Nyrup Rasmussen, PES President.
