After dragging its feet on countries waiting to join, the #EU now wants to turbocharge enlargement as a "geopolitical" strategy, effectively making chess pieces out of accession candidate countries. What a dire proposition to hopeful populations.

#Gaddafi's #Libya🇱🇾 was a plank of regional stability. NATO's cataclysm plunged the wider #Maghreb, #Mediterranean, #Sahara & #Sahel into turmoil, seeding conflict & instability in 🇲🇱🇳🇪🇧🇫 & others. But for gore-soaked liberal 'humanitarians,' it's nothing more than a punchline.

A decade of militarisation in Europe is bearing bitter fruit. But Parliament is on track to draw exactly the wrong lesson. #CSDP report voted today in committee calls for more spending, more weapons, more #NATO.

The Left stands against militarism & war. Our minority position:

War is hell. But not for those who profit. To them war is business. Behind lofty rhetoric on Ukraine a feeding frenzy is now underway, as #EU countries exploit war to unlock ever greater tranches of public money for armament & militarisation. @TNInstitute: https://www.tni.org/en/publication/smoke-screen

After 11th anniversary of #Gaddafi's death during #NATO's assault on #Libya - all in the name of freedom, democracy & human rights - we'd do well to remember what happened next: terror, death, lawlessness, rape, poverty, starvation. Libya riven by conflict. That's NATO's legacy.

While @MichealMartinTD dodges questions on Ireland supporting carve-outs for the high-emitting financial sector in EU #CSDDD, myself & @wallacemick have introduced amendments to add it to the list of high impact sectors, and to delete major exemptions for financial institutions.

Rhetoric of MEPs on #EU🇪🇺-#China🇨🇳 relations makes it difficult not to conclude the #EuropeanParliament is an increasingly extremist institution. Even @JoeBiden🇺🇲 administration is now communicating a less hawkish line than the theatrics in here. Where does madness this stop?

🇮🇪 has sanctioned 100s of 🇷🇺 officials since February. Last week, 🇷🇺 did the same back. Media histrionics from FF/FG ensued. But it is not 'hybrid warfare,' as @MichealMartinTD ridiculously claimed. It is nothing more than a predictable diplomatic consequence of his own decisions

The Commission is playing a dangerous game in politicising the #EU's #ruleoflaw mechanisms - and undermining any chance of #Hungary's rule of law problems actually being addressed.

#NextGenerationEU is the #EU's temporary recovery instrument to bounce back from the #covid pandemic and achieve climate, digital and economic goals. But let's remember money borrowed from the markets always comes with conditions.

Everyone should support the right of ordinary people in #Iran to push for change in their country without harsh crackdowns.

How though? Too often #EU talks about "what we should do," rather than what we should not do, and what we should undo.

"Maximum pressure" is not helping.

An epidemic of diabetes is raging through Europe. Investment and research and support is urgently needed. Without a reversal in cuts to health and privatisation of care, diabetes risks exacerbating the dire socioeconomic inequalities in our societies.

After decades of #US and #European misrule in the #MiddleEast - terrorism, coups, invasions and proxy wars, a legacy of misery, trauma and conflict - the EU washes its hands of it, strokes its chin, and ponders how to bring "stability to the region"? You have got to be joking.

Don't mind the rhetoric and crocodile tears from MEPs about #Qatar2022 sportswashing. The reality is #EU is cosying up to #Qatar and overlooking human rights abuses out of convenience. If there was a #WorldCup for Hypocrisy we would walk away victors without a match being played.

The proposal is an abuse of this institution by extremist factions to throw up roadblocks to peace and prolong a war that is devastating Ukraine & impoverishing our continent. That's why I will be voting against.

This does not condone Russia's actions in Ukraine. As I consistently have done, in votes on individual parts, I condemn Russia's invasion and call for a withdrawal. My overall vote is against the improper and unwise call for the use of a "state sponsor of terrorism" designation.

It isn't enough for the 🇪🇺 to lament the coup in #BurkinaFaso🇧🇫 or call for a return to civilian government. We must face up to the catastrophic, long term detabilisation of this entire region of #Africa by #NATO's assault on #Libya🇱🇾, & the EU's neocolonial adventures in #Sahel.

I believe in free movement for everybody. But I also believe in human rights and accountability. Violence, abuse and lies from Croatia and the Commmission should not have been swept under the rug in bid for Croatian accession to the Schengen area.
