RT @parholmgren: Nu i Strasbourg fick jag möjlighet att prata med Elizabeth @lizwathuti Wathuti, klimataktivist från Kenya.
Alla som fortfarande försöker förminska klimatkrisen borde lyssna på henne. 👇
Countries least responsible for this climate crisis are the ones suffering the most from #climate change.
At #COP27, we need to agree on more climate financing to be paid to the most affected people and areas.
Our @parholmgren & climate activist @lizwathuti on #LossAndDamage⤵️
The shipping sector is the biggest greenhouse gas emitter in the transport sector. It's time to take action!
We called on MEPs to commit for the shipping sector to become climate neutral by 2050.
🤷♀️But this was the result⤵️
“Putin wants to use energy & disinformation as a weapon to divide us and destabilize our democracies.
We call on all democrats to defend the stability & strength of EU democracy. Stop cooperating with right-wing extremists!”

As Putin's war in Ukraine rages on, Berlusconi is sending him love letters.
His party Forza Italia allies with the post-fascists in 🇮🇹, with the full support of @EPPGroup.
Cut the hypocrisy. We call for @EPPGroup & @ManfredWeber to condemn Berlusconi's friendship with Putin.
"We need an EU solidarity fund to invest in renewables. To counter Putin's strategy we must be less dependent on autocracies for our energy supply.
We need an EU solidarity fund, to protect our citizens from economic & social hits.
Social equality is essential for democracy."
"If you believe food sovereignty can be achieved by agro-industries dependent on energy intensive fertilisers, or in a food system where big amounts of crops are wasted: you are wrong!
We need a truly ecological agricultural system that meets our Paris Climate Goals"
"President @vonderleyen a dynamic price cap on gas will not be enough. We will need a bold and determined Commission also on tax and social issues.
We can't let the most vulnerable in our societies pay the price,"
- our co-president @TerryReintke
"Our democracies are not untouchable.
Putin very well knows this.
This is why he is funding the far right and using energy as a weapon against us. And using every single opportunity to try to divide us," @TerryReintke
"There's a powerful authoritarian backlash ongoing in Europe. Against democracy, freedom & equality.
We need to stand with Ukraine, not only for the sake of the brave Ukrainian people, but also for our sake. For our own freedom and our own democracy," co-president @TerryReintke
RT @Tineke_Strik: We are in the midst of a human rights crisis at our borders.
The findings by OLAF confirm what we already knew: Frontex has been covering up pushbacks.
Lives are at stake, we must take action: restructure Frontex and stop pushbacks.

Words. Have. Consequences.
On 12 October, two people lost their lives in an attack against the LGBTIQ community in Bratislava, Slovakia. Our hearts and thoughts are with their families and friends.

RT @GDelbosCorfield: Yesterday marked the 5th anniversary of the death of #DaphneCaruanaGalizia.
@EU_Commission, @europarl_en & govts paid tribute to her work. But are we truly entitled to do so?

RT @damiencareme: En rejetant la décharge budgétaire de #Frontex le Parlement envoie un signal fort ! Finie l’impunité, terminés les refoulements à nos frontières ! Les violations des droits humains & du droit d’asile sont indignes de nos démocraties #pushback
RT @ErikMarquardt: Das Plenum des Europaparlaments hat gerade mit deutlicher Mehrheit #Frontex die Entlastung für 2020 verweigert. Die Agentur muss nun zwingend Forderungen des Europaparlaments umsetzen. Eine Ohrfeige für die Mitgliedsstaaten, die die EU-Agentur im Verwaltungsrat überwachen sollte.
🛑No EU money should fund human rights violations
MEPs just decided NOT to accept the 2020 budget by @Frontex due to its continuous involvement in #pushbacks. Frontex is the most EU funded agency.
