In this episode of FEPS Talks we welcome Sergei Stanishev, who is leaving the European Parliament after ten years. He summarises his insights gathered as a MEP, but also as the President of the Party of European Socialists, a position he held between 2011 and 2022.

He assesses the EP election outcome from a socialist perspective, and reflects on the evolution of EU social democratic politics over the recent decades. The conversation reaches out to topics including the Green Deal, migration, as well as the prospects of creating peace in Eastern Europe again.

Stanishev concludes the podcast by outlining political tasks and strategic priorities for the upcoming period. Stanishev reminds the listeners that originally, social democracy faced the rise of industial capitalism, which had to be reformed. Today, the mission is to tame the formidable technological and economic trasformations, and put them in the service of the people.
