Today I will vote in favour of an EU Nature Restoration Law.
I cannot support rejection of this legislation.
Protecting biodiversity is critical for all of us-urban, rural, farmers, businesses and for future generations to come.
This is my position.

💙 We make policies for and with the people.
Glad to support @JackieFox21 in her fight to make #cyberbullying an EU crime.
Her visit to the European Parliament moved hearts and minds to step up the drive for this legislation.
