This is really disappointing! Europeans should not think they are gardeners. This mindset creates tonnes of problems all around the world
RT @Mohamad_Forough: Josep Borrell: "Europe is a garden. Most of the rest of the world a jungle. The jungle could invade the garden. The Jungle has a strong growth capacity.'
Dear Mr. @JosepBorrellF
This is the WORST ANALOGY of all time, for the following reasons:
a thread🧵 1/7
Here you can find the whole clip https://www.dw.com/en/a-controversial-crude-oil-pipeline/av-63414068
Some days ago @dwnews asked me about the #EACOP project. Ugandans would be far better off if they would #StopEACOP and invest in renewable energies instead. And @TotalEnergies would do good not cooperating with a president who insults members of parliament as „little girls“.
Man kennts: Spider-App aufm Handy-Screen. Reparieren ist zu teuer & stressig.
Good news: @EU_Commission bringt einen #RepairScore damits leichter wird. Leider fehlen zB Ersatzteilpreise.

"Deutschland muss gerechter werden", standing ovation für unsere Vorsitzende @Ricarda_Lang beim Parteitag der Grünen #bdk22: Ohne Klimaschutz gibt es keine Gerechtigkeit - keine Sicherheit - und keine Freiheit.
RT @Suedwind_eV: Heute trafen wir uns mit dem Europaabgeordneten @galleerie zum Austausch über das EU-#Lieferkettengesetz. Aus entwicklungspolitischer Perspektive standen dabei bes. existenzsichernde Löhne und Einkommen so wie die Preis- und Einkaufspolitik von Unternehmen im Fokus. #YesEucan
@Fridays4FutureU @Fridays4future @ExtinctionR @350 @JustStop_Oil @GretaThunberg @FFFMAPA @sunrisemvmt @Greenpeace @EUinUG Thank you so much for your courage! The planet needs you!
@TmusaKasereka @TotalEnergies EACOP is not for Ugandan energy independence. It’s for exporting unprocessed raw-material without local value creation

This whole energy crisis must be the last of its kind before we divest from fossil fuels worldwide and shift towards full electrification and 100% renewables everywhere in the world. #TotalStop #StopEACOP #peoplebeforeprofit #Nordstream2
It also leaves us to the good will of some few CEOs who obviously do not care about the people but only about their own salary.
In northern France 40% of fuel stations are empty. Why? Because @TotalEnergies made 10 billion (!!!) US-Dollars in profits this year, robbing the savings of the whole society but refuses to raise the salaries for their workers. So now they protest and refuse to go to work.
This clearly shows that the time of big corporations controlling our energy markets must come to an end! Centralised fossil fuel infrastructure is not only a security risk because its vulnerable to attacks (look at nord stream pipeline).
RT @Fairtrade_DE: Danke für spannende Diskussionen, @galleerie @berndlange, @woelken, beim #FairtradeBreakfast im Europaparlament.
Wir zählen auf Sie, wenn es darum geht die Zukunft nachhaltig & fair zu gestalten.

/7 Civil disobedience?
Protestors practiced civil disobedience. An act of non-violent protest, cd is a form of protest fit for extreme cases, eg here, where activists acted to protect their rights to a worthwhile environment&ultimately to live while time is running
/6 My role?
As a legal observer, I watched the protest & made sure to document police brutality, should it arise. I was using my privilege as an MEP to protect protesters. Thankfully, I did not witness any incidents of police brutality and none were reported to me
/5 We as Europeans have the responsibility to pressure the European company #TotalEnergies to cease their oil engagement in Uganda&Tanzania. If built, #stopEACOP will produce 40M tons of addit. CO2 emissions per year & is therefore not sustainable at all!
/4 Aim?
Putting pressure on TotalEnergies, fossil industries in general & politics to #stopfossils
TotalEnergies is trying to build an oil pipeline #stopEACOP through Uganda&Tanzania, destroying livelihoods of hundreds of ppl, while the world NEEDS to shift away from fossils
/3 The action went on until Sunday and was accompanied by a demo at #Écaussines in support of the protestors who camped the night out at the refinery
