Abstract

The chapter takes stock of the Party of European Socialists (PES) and its campaign for the European elections 2019. Looking at key trends, the author argues that the PES is gaining more influence in the political arena of the European Union. More financial resources, changing dynamics among PES member parties due to diverging electoral results and the key role of the PES secretariat in running the Spitzenkandidat campaign made the PES an important actor in the centre-left political party family during the campaign.
