RT @EPPGroup: The 🇪🇺 means freedom, not violence.
The 🇪🇺 means tolerance, not discrimination.
The 🇪🇺 means respect, not hate.

It is heartbreaking that in today’s Europe LGBTQI+ peoples’ rights and lives are still under threat.

Our thoughts are with the families of the victims in Bratislava.

In our EU, everyone must feel free to be who they want to be, and free to love who they wish to love.

RT @vonderleyen: The EU decided to sanction individuals and entities for their role in the death of #MahsaAmini and the violence inflicted on the Iranian people.
 
We stand with the brave women of Iran.

Moreover Iran’s support for Russia’s war on Ukraine will be met with a clear answer by the EU

I welcome today’s agreement between EU foreign ministers following my call for tough new sanctions on Iran after the death of #MahsaAmini and the ongoing repression of the women of Iran. These sanctions target senior security personnel as well as the so-called “morality police”.

RT @vonderleyen: The brave Iranian women demand freedom and equality - values that Europe believes in and must speak up for.

The violence must stop. Women must be able to choose.

This shocking violence cannot stay unanswered.

It’s time to sanction those responsible for this repression.
