In his speech, Pedro Sánchez says we must not be ashamed or shamed for our politics. It is not progressives who should be ashamed, but those who exploit workers, collude with the right-wing and condone war and violence, he says. He counters this with a confident commitment to pacifism, environmental protection, trade unions, feminism and progressive politics. Now, more than ever, it is important to be proud of this. We need to be proud in order to fight for a fair system, for prosperity that reaches everyone, for the protection of the environment and for a policy of peace. -fw
