The PES Approves a Statement for a Directive Against all Discriminations
The leaders of the PES member parties met on June 19th. In the final Statement of the meeting, they said:
“Equal rights for all
Over fifty years ago, the European Community set out in its founding treaties that it should combat discrimination based on sex, racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation. However, we have not yet achieved this as discrimination persists in our diverse societies. The PES believes in an inclusive society based on equal rights for all. Therefore, we believe that any proposed new European legislation on discrimination should benefit all discriminated groups and ensure equal rights and treatment for all.” »
