The EPP wants to silence the European Parliament in reaction to bribery by third countries? That would be a great gift to them. Their bribery would have achieved its goal. Stop this nonsense EPP: help us clean our own house and step up evidence-based criticism towards autocrats.

The Ukrainian people are granted the Sacharov prize. President Zelensky address the Parliament, urging for accountability of the Kremlin regime. The perpetrators must know they cannot escape sanctions for their war crimes.

A very welcome message to the Bosnian citizens that they belong to the EU! Let’s now ensure that the EU actively supports the country in the necessary reforms, and strengthen the cooperation on key areas. Our commitment must be sustainable and reliable. https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2022/12/13/council-conclusions-on-enlargement-and-stabilisation-and-association-process/?utm_source=dsms-auto&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Council+conclusions+on+enlargement+and+stabilisation+and+association+process

Big compliment to the CZ presidency! Ukraine support and tax rule without giving in on #RuleOfLaw. Conditionality a bit less than needed, but the instrument stays alive. It is now key to stick to the criteria towards #Hungary.

We received concrete signals that @OliverVarhelyi discussed with Dodik the resumption of the frozen €600 million of EU funds to the RS.

Giving up this financial leverage would be a huge strategic mistake. With a broad coalition of MEPs, we ask @vonderleyen to intervene.

The corruption scandal is devastating for the credibility and effectiveness of our institution. Fighting corruption is key to protect EU’s interests and values. We need to reform the integrity rules and practices. Our proposals of 2016 as a starting point:

Where EU Member States are in a deadlock on internal reforms, they are united in outsourcing their responsibility for refugees to third countries. Funding is the main tool. More transparency and scrutiny of this funding is key to ensure fundamental rights. Thanks @ECRE

Today the Greens will vote in the LIBE committee against the proposed expansion of the Eurodac Regulation. I fully agree with the objections in this letter, as it violates the fundamental rights of migrants, including their young children. https://edri.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/EURODAC-open-letter.pdf

Very clear position of Germany, in support of freezing the funds for Hungary. I urge other Member States to do the same. Rule of law can never be a bargaining chip.
RT @AnnaLuehrmann: The rule of law lies at the core of our European unity and solidarity. @EU_Commission has just concluded that Hungary‘s remedial measures are insufficient to protect 🇪🇺 funds. We support Commission‘s proposal to withhold funds for Hungary as long as they remain at risk.

Glad the @EU_Commission stands its ground on freezing 7.5 bln in cohesion funds. #RuleOfLaw concerns did not magically disappear in Hungary. A hasty release would only reward Orbán’s blackmail. Now it’s up to Member States to stand firm as well & not succumb to Orbán’s pressure.

If this reckless execution of #MoshenShekari, protesting for freedom, is not sanctioned, more executions will follow. Respond adequately to this terror regime: step up sanctions and isolate Khamenei, IRGC, and all their enablers. Iranian people need our support, not only words.
