Nicolas Schmit is the only candidate in the socialist party family for the office of lead candidate in the European elections. He is a man of quiet tones, but stands for the party’s core issues.

Nicolas Schmit will be the third politician that the European Socialist Party (PES) family has sent as its lead candidate in the European elections. He was preceded by two politicians who had the talent to be a tribune of the people: Germany’s Martin Schulz was the Socialists’ top campaigner in 2014 and the Dutchman Frans Timmermans was in the running in 2019. Compared to his two predecessors, Luxembourg’s Schmit is less combative.
