Thanks to all of your efforts we have now attracted 1,000 supporters to our Facebook page. This is truly extraordinary. It is less than six weeks since José and I launched the Campaign for a PES Primary and in this short time we have attracted massive support from PES activists and supporters across our political family. We have also attracted considerable support and positive comment from citizens outside of the PES. This is strong evidence for our claim that democratically selecting the PES candidate for Commssion President has the capacity to energise our party and attract huge support from the citizens we seek to represent in the European Parliament.
Later today we will be launching an on-line discussion forum that we hope will provide a platform for PES activists and independent progressive citizens to develop and refine our ideas for PES Primaries. Watch out for our announcement this afternoon!

PES activists are campaigning for a more democratic Europe starting with our own party, the Party of European Socialists. We believe that the individual members of all of the PES parties in the EU should choose our candidate for President of the European Commission at the next European Parliament elections in 2014. The PES is the progressive force in European politics. Well, let's progress, let's inject some more democracy into the EU.
