S&D - Socialists and Democrats
One week after the assassination of local councilwoman and human rights activist Marielle Franco - together with her driver Anderson Pedro Gomes - another council member, Paulo Teixeira, was also shot dead yesterday, while driving his car.

S&D - Socialists and Democrats
Today the Socialists and Democrats scored a victory for social rights after having successfully led the drive to reject the Commission’s proposal for an e-card in a vote in the internal market committee.

S&D Group spokesperson on economic and monetary affairs, Pervenche Berès, said:
