RT @MPIainDS: While the UK’s relationship with China may have shifted in the last couple of years, still our government sends out too many mixed messages. Rishi Sunak has allowed the UK to be too submissive to China. https://inews.co.uk/opinion/iain-duncan-smith-rishi-sunak-uk-submissive-china-2062616?ito=twitter_share_article-top

In these difficult times, I wish all Orthodox Christians a Blessed Christmas. With the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, God’s love and light triumphs over darkness.

We are facing multiple crises & vulnerabilities caused also because of the naive belief that, through economic cooperation, we can change non-democratic regimes.
In 2023, we must work even harder to address these challenges & leave behind our naivety

Georgian authorities are fully responsible for the health of former president Mikheil Saakashvili.

In accordance with Georgian law, he must be allowed to undergo necessary medical treatment abroad to save his life

RT @hk_watch: Important intervention from HKW Patron @MiriamMLex. If #HK is no longer autonomous under #NSL, why should EU maintain its bilateral customs agreements with HK? Why should #HK officials gain 💵 benefits of autonomy, while denying the people of #HK basic rights guaranteed in JD?

The CCP shouldn’t be allowed to abuse the benefits of #HongKong’s autonomy, all the while being engineer of its destruction. That’s why it is time to review the EU-HK customs agreement, the status & privileges of the HK Trade Office in Brussels & HK’s membership of the WTO

This week, the menorah was lit @europarl_en in celebration of Chanukah. Especially in these difficult times, it is important that the light of hope continues to shine.
Thank you @TonoEPP for organising, delighted to see so many friends.

I do wonder: did Ms Kaili’s father think he was looking after the money for the ‘real owner’ in the same way that parents hide their children’s Christmas presents?
RT @daphnetoli: Eva Kaili's lawyer in #Greece:

“The money is not hers, it belongs to a person outside the family of Mrs Kaili and her father brought it to the hotel for the real owner to receive it. Those 600,000 euros should have been delivered by Kaili's partner to the real owner.”
