Our Seas are sick...
Evocative imagery on show today at the demonstration in Santiago de Compostela.
The Conservative (EPP) Galician government did not share news of the plastic spill for weeks and are now downplaying the impact.

R to @GraceOSllvn: Hundreds of volunteers have been cleaning the coasts this month. This stunning beach is a Natura 2000 site - a protected area for threatened species.

Plastic, plastic everywhere.....
In the aftermath of a plastic pellets spill in the Atlantic, I'm in Galicia where local volunteers are now carrying out the painstaking work of removing this pollution from the ecosystem.
Plenty of regular plastic rubbish here to....

Today we tried to pass a Resolution calling for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza 🇵🇸🇮🇱
But an EPP amendment passed supporting peace only if Hamas is eliminated. This hands Israel a blank cheque to continue the massacre for as long as they want.
We need a braver EU than this 🕊️

The facts speak for themselves - improve public transport frequency and funding while bringing down fares and more people will enjoy the service 🚌
Especially important in rural areas and small towns that have been deprived transport links for decades 💚

The hypocrisy I have seen in the European Parliament over the relentless bombing of Palestinians has been shocking.
Netanyahu has said loud and clear that he does not respect international law ⚖️ That has repercussions in EU law - should we choose apply it...

Our addiction to plastic has led to a devastating plastics spill off the coast of Galicia ‼️
Micro plastics are now found on every beach in Ireland, in all marine habitats and even in our food 🐟
This week we take the fight to Strasbourg 🇪🇺 for immediate action on plastics

After that gut wrenching testimony in The Hague earlier today, disgraceful to see this press release from the Israeli foreign ministry accusing South Africa of acting as the "legal arm of Hamas"
The EU and its Member States have an obligation to uphold the Genocide Convention 🛑

Ireland and Belgium are working closely on a humanitarian approach to the bloodshed in Gaza 🇵🇸
I spoke with indomitable Deputy PM Petra de Sutter today who said:
"Belgium cannot stand by and watch the immense human suffering in Gaza. We must act against the threat of genocide."

🚨The EU's Copernicus Programme has confirmed that 2023 was the warmest year on record and we are hurtling towards the 1.5C threshold
This will have a disastrous impact on human wellbeing, extreme weather patterns and will endanger the survival of millions of species on Earth.

I fully back the case brought by South Africa in the ICJ to investigate breaches of the Genocide Convention in Gaza.

Solidarity with the 16 search and rescue workers going back on trial in Lesbos tomorrow.
I met Nassos Karakitsos on the island last year when he was standing trial with Seán Binder and Sara Mardini.
We must protect humanitarians saving lives at sea.
