From Daphne Galizia in Malta to Shireen Abu Akleh in Palestine, justice still has not been served for so many murdered journalists.

@nanakando Thanks for comment! The @GreensEFA group is pushing the hardest in the European Parliament to cap profits of fossil fuel companies, expand the EU-wide windfall tax and push the green transition away from fossil fuels in the first place. No other group has such a strong record.

RT @kimvsparrentak: 🎉 WE DID IT!

We beat Uber's aggressive lobby! The European Parliament just adopted our proposal to end fake self-employment and protect people against intrusive algorithms.

This is a huge step for the millions of platform workers in the EU. ✊

Fossil fuel companies make their highest profits in centuries.

Most of the packaging waste we buy we don't even want! ❌And it ends up in our rivers and on our beaches.

This year I am working on the EU's Packaging Waste rules as a priority.

Time to stop this at the source.

It may come as a shock to many people that bottom-trawling is currently allowed in many Marine Protected Areas 😲

This year, Ireland is increasing our Marine Protected Area from about 2% to 30% of our seas by 2030. They must be properly protected! 🌊
