RT by @BasEickhout: Czechia shows diplomatic middle finger to pro-Russian Slovak Prime Minister:

Extremely rare diplomatic move today.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico publicly lies about Czechia, claiming thaz we “support war in Ukraine”, in a sense that we like it.

So yesterday Czech cabinet led by @P_Fiala suspends intergovernmental consultations with Slovak cabinet, several Czech Ministers refusing to “sit in one room with somebody who just shook hands with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov”.

Today, Czech Prime Minister @P_Fiala welcomes leaders of Slovak opposition @MSimecka, publicly takes pictures with him at official set of Czech PMs where state visits are received.

In diplomatic terms, this is an equivalent of a middle finger towards the pro-Russian Slovak cabinet.

Czech-Slovak relations on governmental level are at worst stage in decades, because Slovak cabinet hugs Russian terrorists and lies about its (still) allies.

RT by @BasEickhout: Yes! My airbnb law is officially adopted by the European Parliament! With these new rules, short term rental platforms have to share more data, to empower cities all over Europe to enforce their local rules.

A big step for affordable housing and liveable cities.

RT by @BasEickhout: Lara Wolters (@larawoltersEU) ist sauer (zu Recht!): die Lobby hat sich durchgesetzt und mit fadenscheinigen Argumenten das EU-#Lieferkettengesetz (#CSDDD) im Rat gekillt. „German Angst“ wird über den Schutz von Menschenrechten und der Umwelt gestellt. Beschämend.

De aangenomen natuurherstelwet is vandaag niet het enige goede nieuws uit Europa. Het Europees Parlement stemde vandaag ook in met wetgeving tegen de export van plastic naar ontwikkelingslanden verbiedt:

Many years the trend in EU agriculture has been the same: less and less, larger and larger. EU agricultural policies have only accelerated this trend. And now conservative policies come to rescue? Own it; these have been your policies for years. Ps data are pre-Green Deal.

RT by @BasEickhout: On Tuesday, the EU Parliament will vote on the final text of the #NatureRestorationLaw, agreed with EU governments.

Last July, liberal and conservative politicians teamed up with the far right to block this law - in vain.

Now all eyes are on this #EPlenary. #RestoreNature

RT by @BasEickhout: Together, we are stronger than any geopolitics. People’s unity can accomplish more than any dictator. And courage, ordinary people's courage, can turn the pages of history that appeared to never end.

Dear friends, President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. I thank you for every package of assistance that helps our soldiers fight and strengthens our state. I appreciate every sanction decision against Russia. And I thank you for every step that enables us to bring this war to a fair end.

Putin must lose in absolutely everything, just as he did here, in Hostomel. Only in this way will peace prevail.

RT by @BasEickhout: Answering a question by @BasEickhout in @EP_Environment, @BUrl_EFSA (speaking in personal capacity) shares interesting thoughts on the transition to sustainable #FoodSystems. He stresses the need to address the (delicate) issue of diets, and to tackle the hidden costs of food.

En concludeerde NSC dat er omwille van de rechtsstaat geen basis was om met de PVV verder te gaan, in meerderheids- of minderheidsconstructie

The EU 2040 climate goal will be 90%. On the low end, but I am satisfied. Less satisfactory however: the Commission does not mention the agricultural sector at all.
You can put it away in this communication, but that doesn't make the problem go away.
