RT @Opschudding_: The @europarl_en "is doing an excellent job as a legislator, but it is fast asleep as a watchdog", says @SophieintVeld

Parliament should never be "safe space" for those in power 👏

Politico is right: hearing von der Leyen behind closed doors amounts to blocking of scrutiny.

Over the weekend, I channeled my concern over Parliament’s failure as a democratic watchdog towards writing a blog post. Read it through the link:

Let’s just say that the @EU_Commission seems to interpret its duty to enforce EU law in the narrowest possible manner (mildly put). We have asked @VDombrovskis to come and explain to @EP_PegaInquiry if/how the @EU_Commission enforces dual use export rules

👏 goed nieuws!
RT @kizamag: Het gerechtshof in Den Haag heeft vandaag een historisch uitsprak gedaan. Ik kon mijn emoties niet tegen houden. ‘Ras’ is geen rechtmatig grond om ‘niet-witte mensen’ anders te behandelen bij grenscontroles. Trots op @MpanzuBamenga, Control Alt Delete en andere partners.

EPP rightfully scolds Italy’s 5S movement for not standing with Ukraine.

All the while Berlusconi’s Forza Italia is an EPP family member. With an EPP card, you can drown a litter of kittens and the family will still protect you.
