Why is the reform of the EU #Magnitsky law a big deal? Here’s what @navalny has been telling us—
As long as Putin’s oligarchs are free to park their most expensive yachts 🛥 in EU ports ⚓️, no one in the Kremlin will take EU sanctions seriously
In her #SOTEU speech, @vonderleyen just announced that the EU’s #MagnitskyAct will include corruption as a punishable offence.
A longstanding @RenewEurope policy aim we’ve been working towards in @EP_HumanRights— well done, everyone 👏

… read my thoughts on Europe’s future in the shadow of Putin’s war in Ukraine👇
Today, Ukraine celebrates 31 years of independence— and courageously fights for an independent future.
Today and every day, we #StandWithUkraine. And let’s remember: we cannot fight Putin without fighting the Putinization of our member states.
RT @panyiszabolcs: There’s an important national security angle to Orbán’s purchase of mobile carrier Vodafone Hungary, the frontrunner in 5G network development in the country:
Vodafone’s networks are running on Chinese Huawei equipment.
Why is this an issue? Thread🧵

Happy birthday, Hungary! 🇭🇺🇪🇺❤️
Our founding king, Saint Stephen envisioned a country that firmly belongs in Europe. Built on the values of openness & tolerance.
In his admonitions to his son Emeric, he wrote:
“For a kingdom of one tongue, or of one custom, is weak and fragile”
EU prime ministers’ scandals this summer—
Viktor Orban lashes out against “race mixing.”
#SannaMarin acts like a normal human.
Guess which one of these was too much for the far-right’s morals.
RT @RenewEurope: 🚄To discover Europe by #train better quality access and services for rail passengers must be ensured.
#RenewEurope will continue to fight to make rail travel a better experience for all!
Take the train this summer and discover Europe!
RT @AnitaKomuves: "We must never forget that what began as racist and xenophobic rhetoric by 20th century leaders escalated, ultimately ending in the genocide of millions."
RT @TimmermansEU: We are all different, our skins are different, our languages, cultures, beliefs. And yet we are all part of the same race, the human race.
Racism is a poisonous political invention. There should be no place for it in Europe where our strength comes from diversity.
RT @SophieintVeld: If this is no red line for @EU_Commission #EUCO, then what is?! What message does this cowardly silence send to European citizens? Real political leadership means taking a stance. https://t.co/51YK1bd5fq
Current level of pro-government propaganda outlets’ discourse, defending Orban’s racism: they compare mingling of Europeans and non-Europeans to dog breeding.
Orban willingly incited these dehumanizing, racist outbursts. EU leaders response so far has been crickets.
RT @floragaramvolgy: 7/ Pro-gov't 888 went even further: "Of course, it's not good [for species to mix]. How could it be good? Dogs are one species, but it would be un…
I’m honestly wondering how the project “working together with dear Prime Minister Viktor Orbán” is going.
I share the concerns and recommendations of my MEP colleague @Tineke_Strik. Changes to the electoral law proposed by the @OHR_BiH threaten to divide Bosnia & Herzegovina even further along ethnic sectarian lines. They should be withdrawn & redrafted in a more inclusive process.
RT @Tineke_Strik: I fully support the @OHR_BiH proposal to prevent fraud during BiH's upcoming elections and ensure state functionality after. However, the p…
Orban's hateful, openly racist language matters. Mutual respect and good faith cooperation are the foundations of the European Union, and these norms are more fragile than we usually assume.
EU leaders should stop dodging responsibility to call this out. (end)
There's more, just put it in Google Translate https://www.miniszterelnok.hu/orban-viktor-eloadasa-a-xxxi-balvanyosi-nyari-szabadegyetem-es-diaktaborban/
How about Russia?
Well, Orban had something offensive to say to everyone BUT Putin. He blamed the war on NATO, a new US President, a new German Chancellor -- practically anyone but the aggressor.
On V4 partners:
🇸🇰 & 🇨🇿 "do not take up conflicts with Brussels, but collecting good points ... tying their horses in a burning barn, good luck for that!"
Even 🇵🇱 got an earful. There, "the problem is with the heart," meaning Polish support for Ukraine is irrational & emotional.
