Which brings us to today. This week, the European Commission unveiled plans to push its social policy agenda once again in a bid to reconnect with disheartened citizens and coax voters not to place their faith in the populist fringes of the political spectrum.
The European Pillar of Social Rights, presented on Wednesday by Employment Commissioner Marianne Thyssen, put forward 20 social principals it wants to see member states adopt. The most prominent include strengthening workers' rights, revamping employment law by bringing the gig economy into national social systems and introducing new rules on parental leave.
Thyssen described the Pillar as "a compass for a renewed process of convergence towards better living and working conditions" that would help the EU "avoid a race to the bottom and encourage a race to the top."

The eurozone is on course for a double-dip recession after the second wave of COVID-19 infections during the last quarter of 2020 sent the recovery into reverse. As a result of national governments introducing new restrictions and lockdowns to try to curb the spread of the virus, the eurozone’s GDP fell by 0.7 percent from October to December. With lockdowns likely to persist through much of the first quarter of 2021 and the EU's sluggish start of its vaccine rollout programme, analysts believe the bloc will almost certainly suffer a second bout of declining economic activity during January to March.
