The Socialists and Democrats sounded the alarm today. Ten months on from the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, we have more and more evidence showing that lockdowns have led to a spike in violence against women, a widening of the digital gender gap and the gender divide in unpaid care work, and potentially long-term impacts on women’s work and incomes.

Speaking ahead of the vote on his report, S&D MEP Alex Agius Saliba, said:

Post-Brexit we must not allow a ‘Singapore-on-Thames’ at our border, say S&Ds, pushing for tougher criteria for EU’s tax haven list

S&D Group stands firm on Parliament’s unambiguous call for ban on killer robots

S&D - Socialists and Democrats

The Socialist and Democrats are standing firm on the European Parliament’s position on calling for an unambiguous international ban on the use of lethal weapons or ‘killer robots’ without human oversight. S&D MEPs are today voting against the far right ID Group-led report on the application of artificial intelligence in civil and military as it fails to respect the European Parliament’s clear opposition from 2018 and crosses a clear red line on the issue of human control in military use.
