We are the generation of politicians who must find a way forward on migration.
One that is humane with those in need of protection, fair & firm with those not eligible, strong with traffickers profiting from human desperation.
All players must now match @europarl_en's ambition.

First they jailed her husband.
Then they detained her.
Now they sentence her to 15 years jail in absentia.
@Tsihanouskaya is bearing the consequences for fighting for freedom and democracy.
Lukashenko's regime will be held accountable.
Our push for a free Belarus continues.
RT @Tsihanouskaya: 15 years of prison.
This is how the regime “rewarded” my work for democratic changes in Belarus.
But today I don't think about my own sentence. I think about thousan…
