Odlično srečanje s 🇸🇮 pripravniki v @EU_Commission v Bruslju. Pred iztekom njihovega 5-mesečnega dela na različnih področjih sem z veseljem prisluhnil njihovim vtisom o delu v Komisiji in EU na sploh. Verjamem, da so pridobili odlično popotnico za njihova nadaljnja udejstvovanja.

Voluntary associations of 🇪🇺 citizens provide valuable response capacities in the face of ever more frequent natural disasters caused by climate change, as well as other crises. We will hence continue supporting voluntary participation in civil protection and disaster management.

We need to keep EU citizens at the heart of our resilience efforts; to protect their lives as well as to engage and prepare them when disasters strike.

Voluntary organisations, citizens working for citizens, have a special role in building resilience against various crises.

The EU calls for the immediate and unconditional release and rehabilitation of all political prisoners, and for cessation of repression. The authorities in #Belarus must engage in a genuine dialogue across society, leading to free and fair elections in line with intl. standards.

Today's debate demonstrates the overwhelming support of this @europarl_en to the EU’s strong reaction against the systematic human rights violations in #Belarus.

We need to continue to support the people of Belarus, faced with ever-worsening repression by Lukashenko’s regime.

The EU continues to support the Russian civil society, independent media, human rights defenders, political prisoners and all 🇷🇺 citizens who, despite the deepening crackdown, continue to defend human rights there and oppose authoritarianism and war despite great personal risks.
