World2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported35m ago
Progressief Nederland (Pro) has voted to join the Party of European Socialists (PES), aligning itself with the social democrats in the European Parliament after the 2029 European elections. This political family is the same group to which the Dutch Labour Party (PvdA) belonged for many years.
The decision was reached following a member referendum, though the outcome was reportedly not as decisive as the party leadership may have desired. Alongside this European affiliation, the party announced that FNV member Kitty de Jong has been appointed as its new party chair.
