Red roses and the PES logo everywhere – there is not doubt that the plenary room at the National Palace of Culture is a meeting place for socialists! The stage is decorated with banners printed with the four manifesto themes: save our planet, New Social Europe, European democracy and diversity and EU in the world.Despite fog, snow and delayed airplanes the opening was inspiring:- Even the weather cannot stop us from coming to the PES Council in Sofia! said PES president Poul Nyrup Rasmussen and continued:- When the right wing talks about modernizing it’s about deregulation and people taking care of themselves. When we talk about modernizing it’s about creating better futures, combating global warming, making sure competition takes place on human conditions and education for everyone.With these remarks the PES President kicked off the debate about the PES 2009 manifesto. Also Sergei Stanishev, prime minister of Bulgaria, and Alfred Gusenbauer, Chancellor of Austria, spoke at the opening ceremony.Watch the entire opening ceremony including speeches or view more photos from the PES Council here.read more
