It doesn't matter what you think of #Catalan independence. If you care about rule of law you must denounce political repression. If an #EU state arrests a politician it doesn't like, to intimidate and harrass her, in breach of her parliamentary immunity and EU law, you stand up.

At a time of record shareholder profits & stratospheric executive pay, there isn't a lot of benefit to talking about a right to equal pay, if it's a right to be treated equally badly. The fight for women's pay must be a fight for everyone's pay to go up to a fair and equal level.

Six months later, plenty of speculation. But no answers, few questions, and little interest in the attacks on Nord Stream. The public deserves recognition from their democratic institutions of the seriousness of these events and a full, transparent, international inquiry.

The usual suspects pretending this is an attack on the gardai. It is clearly criticising the government. If you want 'respect' for An Garda Síochána, you should be against a government sending them in to make people homeless on behalf of landlords. #evictionban

We all now accept that 20 years ago Western leaders and media launched the murderous war of aggression against #Iraq with an avalanche of lies.

How is it that the same organisations & people can be trusted to tell the truth and nothing but the truth about what is happening now?

Shocked to hear of the arrest of my colleague @ClaraPonsati in Barcelona. Is the #EU going to stay silent in face of Spanish authorities’ contempt for European law, European courts & fundamental rights? Is Spain exempt from Rule of Law? Release her now!

Why is it that the rights of adopted children are never a priority? We can rush through spending billions of public money on arms, but something as simple and essential as dealing with cross-border aspects of adoption sits on the backburner for years.

Against the grim backdrop of 74 deaths off Italy's coast, half of them children, we again debate the EU's savage & authoritarian treatment of refugees, civilian search & rescue and humanitarian workers. People coming to the EU from outside its borders are an asset not a threat.

In 2021, 95.4 million people in the EU, 21% of the population, were at risk of poverty and social exclusion. With the energy crisis, deindustrialisation, unemployment and inflation, workers are in a situation of constant insecurity. The social emergency is here. Time to wake up.

The World Bank and IMF are imperialist institutions for the legalised theft of resources, where 85% of the world's population are left with a minority say. We should have international financial institutions that work for people and planet oriented by human need.

Take note of @EUombudsman's finding of maladministration in the @EUDefenceAgency allowing its Chief Executive to go and work for @Airbus, one of Europe's largest arms companies. A grim picture how defence policy is set by the arms industry for profit, not the people of Europe.

On Georgia, while some MEPs rightly call for calm and diplomacy, others stir the pot with no care for the consequences. Since 1991 Georgians have been through the ringer of neoliberal shock therapy. That's what we should be turning our attention to. Otherwise leave Georgia be.

Don't fall for propaganda. Despite constant harping on about the EU standing up to authoritarian regimes with our exalted "values," we swore off Russian fossil fuels only to sign an oil and gas deal with Azerbaijan, a state that ticks every box on the autocrat's bingo card.
RT @vonderleyen: The EU is turning to more reliable energy suppliers.

Today I’m in Azerbaijan to sign a new agreement.

Our goal: double the gas delivery from Azerbaijan to the EU in a few …

Our fundamental rights and civil liberties are being eroded, in an endless security obsession, that does almost nothing to deal with the problems its supposed to, but everything to make our societies more fearful and authoritarian. It does not have to be this way.

The 🇪🇺 obediently serves 🇺🇸 interests, while toying with fantasies of global power. No one else is fooled.

👏 Stop playing 🇺🇸 wargames.
👏 Stop alienating trading partners.
👏 Stop interfering in third countries
👏 Stop robbing the Global South
👏 Stand up for international law

Armchair warmongering from Brussels shows a shameful lack of empathy for people dealing with the gruelling realities of this war. As MEPs chant "glory," Ukraine is burning through a generation of men, never to be replaced. It is callous and insensitive to what is being lost.

Everybody travelling into, out of and within the EU is going to be affected by this proposal. About a billion people a year. Yet another component of a gigantic surveillance superstructure being set in place. And practically nobody even knows these discussions are taking place.
