In memoriam: Michel Rocard

In memoriam: Michel Rocard

We will remember him for the great European he was. He had been a key figure, as a long-serving MEP and later on, fighting for more European integration, for a stronger political Europe and for a Union that listens to its citizens.

His involvement within our European political family was precious, and led him to take over the role of coordinating the work on economic policy with a view to adopt a common manifesto for the first-ever direct European elections in 1979.

During the PES Leaders’ meeting this Thursday, the Leaders will hold a minute of silence in memory of Michel Rocard.
