What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Iratxe García, S&D Group leader, called on EU leaders ahead of the European Council to choose a Europe based on social justice and solidarity rather than austerity and cuts. She demanded that the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) include a strong social dimension, backed by new own resources. García also reiterated her call for a European social bonus financed through a windfall profits levy on energy companies.
