European Socialists Grapple with Identity Crisis at Amsterdam Meeting
Internal divisions emerge over economic policy and progressive values ahead of EU elections.
Leaders of Europe’s socialist and social democratic parties convened in Amsterdam to address growing ideological divisions within the movement.
Delegates debated how to balance traditional labor priorities with modern progressive issues such as climate policy and digital reform.
Observers say the discussions reflect a broader struggle to redefine the left’s identity and electoral strategy as Europe faces economic uncertainty and rising populism.
