Undoubtedly, the new Polish law, #LexTusk, is designed to eliminate Polish opposition leaders from public life.
Mr Kaczynski, President Duda, do not bring Poland into darkness.

#LexTusk is not simply another law violating the Polish Constitution.
"It is a special, new tool, a modus operandi, of an authoritarian power that knows it is losing public trust and support and wants to maintain power by all means", says @AndrzejHalicki MEP.

Protecting nature is our priority, but when Europeans struggle with inflation, energy costs - and our food production is under pressure - we cannot top it off with new #RegulatoryBurdens.
Mr Timmermans,
Withdraw the #NatureRestoration bill.
Do a proper impact assessment.

The law cannot be used to eliminate political opponents.
Poles, bring back Poland to the heart of the EU, where it belongs!

❗️Europe needs a regulatory slowdown.
Overloading Europeans with new legislation they cannot digest and comply with will get us nowhere. Glad to see other EU leaders supporting our call.
@peterliese urges Pascal Canfin to follow in Macron’s footsteps.

"Grey zones in European security create instability, risk and opportunities for hostile #ForeignInterference.
The EU must invest in closing these grey zones & supporting the integration of Ukraine, Moldova & Georgia into our European family and NATO". @kalniete

When nature needs to be restored, it is often not due to farmers' activity but because farmers left.
"The proposal which we have on the table does not look at the importance of farmers and neglects this part of the story," says @HerbertDorfmann.

The story of more than 20,000 Ukrainian children is tragic.
"We need to work together to bring every child deported to Russia back to Ukraine," says MEP @ewakopacz.
Time to end this nightmare and #BringBackUkrainianKids.

Mr Timmermans cannot expect the EPP to accept the #NatureRestoration proposal without a comprehensive impact assessment on:
🔵food security

“This is not negotiable”, says @ChSchneider.

Poles fought for democracy for decades - they will not allow it to be taken from them.
#LexTusk law, which targets the opposition in Poland ahead of the election, is an attack on democracy.
We believe that this dark day will be reversed.

President Duda's signing into law of #LexTusk breaches fundamental democratic principles.
The law further undermines #RuleofLaw in Poland.
It drags Polish democracy into darkness.

👎Two Parliamentary Committees have already said NO to the badly drafted #NatureRestoration proposal, Mr @TimmermansEU.
➡️It´s not fit for purpose.
➡️It just adds #RegulatoryBurden.
➡️It harms farmers, fishers, consumers & Europe's food security.
Withdraw this law!
