Unanimity is a handicap Europe inflicts on itself… even when it’s not necessary, like on migration 🤷🏼♂️👇🏻
A system that choses to fail cannot maintain the trust of its citizens.
Reform now !

J’accuse…
This crisis is the result of deliberate refusal of governments to agree in Council on fair, effective and united migration policies at EU level… proposals gathering dust since 2015.
Stop this irresponsibility, break the deadlock !

We need an emergency #EUCO on the energy crisis, to map out an immediate EU response to Putin’s weaponisation of energy, protect European consumers and businesses through a European price cap and a long-date European bond 🆘
RT @JavierBlas: The German 1-year electricity forward has just traded above €800 per MWh for the first time ever. And my screen shows the French 1-year electricity contract with a €865-€1,000 per MWh bid-ask …

RT @SophieintVeld: The question is why @europarl_en allows this to happen. Instead of individual MEPs fighting the battle for transparency and accountability, there should be an institutional response. If Parliament doesn’t step up to the plate, EU democracy is in the danger zone

While the extreme right and Putin’s paid promotors in Europe plead for compromise and negotiations, the Russian army uses nuclear catastrophy as war strategy !

The far right, who are in Putin's pockets, want to convince us that sanctions against Russia's genocidal regime aren't working. Don't be fooled!
This war ends when the invasion fails & Russia is defeated.
More sanctions & increased aid to Ukraine now!

Happy Independence Day to our Ukranian friends !
No people has fought harder to deserve it. No one knows better how real independence means being part of the wider democratic world. No one deserves our support more than you 🇺🇦

Polls show British voters regret Brexit & want a European future.
Yet no opposition party dare represent them & the next Tory Government will be the most eurosceptic yet.
Britain needs a pro European renaissance!

Putin is losing the communications war, the economic war & the actual war on the ground… but he’s winning the gas war because we let him!
We need a real EU energy union to cut him off from his income & power… or we will lose all other fronts in the end

We have to break the backbone of the regime: Putin’s propagandists and war planners, financers and fixers… ALL of them ! @JosepBorrellF

Putin will not divide us, despite the tough months ahead…
EU will find common solutions to buy and share energy cutting off Russia… or we will import Putin’s power together with his oil & gas !

We need to sanction the whole backbone of Putin’s regime, the full #Navalnylist, NOW !

"We say it's all Europe causing these problems. It's all, it's migrants that causing problems. But actually..."
Liz Truss dismantles the lies behind Brexit. Publicly, she blames migrants & manufactures a fight with 🇪🇺 to win Tory votes. 🙄
RT @Femi_Sorry: LEAKED AUDIO: Liz Truss calls Brits lazy and admits that the Brexit referendum was won on lies about immigration and the EU.

Still incredible to see a pillar of society like the Republican party turn into a cult of undisputable lies, conspiracy theories and dictator worship…

🚨Alexey @navalny is totally right.
The EU in its meeting of the 28th needs to extend sanctions to all of the 6000 people who make up the backbone of the Putin regime…
#EUCO #StandWithUkraine 🧵👇
RT @navalny: 1/28 Putin's war with Ukraine has been going on for 6 months now. From Day 1, Western leaders firmly stated that Putin's oligarchs and bribe-takers would face imminent sanctions and wouldn’t get away this time. But they di…

One year since the Afghanistan debacle it is women, girls, journalists who fight for their freedom under the Taliban.
A year ago the EU sat on the sidelines while the US decided. Choosing not to be a geopolitical player is a political choice !

Putin rewards ally Viktor Orbán for all his work weakening the EU & its sanctions against Russia.
Do Hungarians want a 🇪🇺 future, or Orbán's servitude to a genocidal, imperial Russia? The status quo becomes increasingly untenable!

Are we really going to make a deal to lift sanctions with a regime where the state media are praising the attack on Salman Rushdie ?

Shocking…
More than 30 years of threats just for creative thinking. Let’s hope he’s OK… and let’s never give up on free speech and the brave people who keep us all free !
