    I would just like to congratulate the Party of European Socialists for the initiative they have taken. Through this website citizens will be able to express their ideas and table their propositions which I hope will be taken into consideration. It is very important to engage citizens and listen to what they have to say. Europe is very important nowadays and European political parties have to widen their scope of action. We need political parties which will be strong at a European level and which will represent the people of Europe. Good luck and all the best for the manifesto. read more

    Portuguese bloggers are active writing and informing their readers about the PES consultation process. These are good news for portuguese speaking-readers, as they will now be able to read in Camões' language what is going on!

    Some suggestions: visit Luís Novaes Tito's blog, have a look at Carlos Manuel Castro's space, don't miss Celso Guedes' articles and read about the manifesto echos in loja de ideias.

    Obrigada pela colaboração :)
