❌ Let’s stop trying to sell and put social rights back at the heart of the EU. At a time when the European Union’s economic and geopolitical priorities are increasingly focused on competitiveness, deregulation and increased defence spending, the conference will relaunch the debate on the future of the European social dimension.
Five years after the Porto Social Summit and the adoption of the Action Plan for the European Pillar of Social Rights (EPSR), it is time to revive the spirit of Porto. 🇵🇹
