So grateful to be elected to the @EurLiberalForum board with this brilliant group of colleagues! I’ll do my best to channel my experience & passion to strengthen this indispensable network
With an all-out attack against liberal values in Europe, our work is more urgent than ever
RT @RenewEurope: Our Members are gathering views in Warsaw on the latest developments regarding the Rule of Law in #Poland in the context of the Recovery Fund.
Today's meeting at the Senate focused on the separation of powers, fundamental rights, and the primacy of EU law.
These sham polls always designate an enemy: it used to be immigrants, gay people— this season on the Orban-show, it is “Brussels sanctions” the base needs to hate
@momentumhu will collect the surveys nationwide, and make paper briquettes for poor people to put on the fire.
Orban’s “consultations” are a tool for taxpayer-funded autocratic mobilization. Putinesque & hateful. This problem, too, has been completely ignored by the @EU_Commission despite repeated calls by @SophieintVeld & other colleagues to look into them
https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/E-8-2015-007866_EN.html
These “surveys” are so Orwellian that at one point, as an opposition politician asked the National Election Office to consider them for referenda (as a test), even the Orban loyalist body ruled that they are inadequate. This one on “migration & terrorism:

This analysis👇 on Orban’s “national consultations” is not fully accurate— they’re not even sham referenda (we’ve seen few of those too), these are push-polls with ridiculously biased questions, only for mass manipulation & to designate the new enemy: Brussels sanctions.

RT @RenewEurope: The People of #Ukraine are our & @TheProgressives joint candidate for the #SakharovPrize 2022 for freedom of thought.
Ukrainians 🇺🇦 stood up to Russia's unprovoked, illegal and unlawful war of aggression.
RT @ijoveva: Today, at @RenewEurope event in Warsaw with our Polish allies @PL_2050 . 🇸🇮 have kicked out illiberal populists out of government. I’m sure Poland is next. What is clear is that illiberals doesn’t bring any solutions, only division driven by resentment. 🇵🇱 people deserve better.
RT @VisegradInsight: Today @RenewEurope EUROPE 2050 event in Warsaw opened by a Polish-Hungarian tandem on stage @michalkobosko @Polska2050_live @katka_cseh @momentumhu speaking with one voice for Ukraine. The kind of voice Europe has been missing from Budapest & Warsaw
RT @RenewEurope: 🔴 Live from Warsaw!
Democracy in Poland is under attack!
That’s why we are discussing Poland's European future & 🇪🇺's pressing issues, with @katka_cseh @michalkobosko @steph_sejourne @szymon_holownia @ThierryBreton & more.

RT @RenewEurope: Leaders of the Hungarian & Polish oppositions welcome @StefanishynaO, deputy prime minister of Ukraine & Oleh Dunda 🇪🇺🇺🇦
The message is clear: democracy will win. We stand together in Warsaw today against fascism & authoritarianism.
Sadly, intransparent deals between @EU_Commission & the Hungarian government do not offer a way out of the autocracy crisis. No tangible progress like an accession to @EUProsecutor. In cases of systemic breaches, EU should re-direct funds to struggling local govts & civil society
RT @USAmbHungary: Mass graves… in Europe. Next door. This moment calls for unequivocal unity of purpose and resolve. https://www.atv.hu/kulfold/20220916/ombudsman-hatrakotott-kezu-agyonlott-ukran-katonak-holttesteit-talaltak-az-izjumi-tomegsirban
Democracy and majority rule are not the same
*Not* questioning the Orban govt’s democratic performance is an insult to the newsrooms they muzzled, the minorities & critics whose rights they trampled on. Orban’s targets are European citizens too and they deserve Europe’s support
RT @EuroSandor: Message of Hungarian Foreign Minister Szijjártó to the European Parliament: Questioning the performance of our democracy is an insult towar…

🚨With a landslide vote, @europarl_en becomes the first EU institution to declare that Hungary is not a full democracy anymore
My generation was the first one to grow up in a democracy & for now, it looks like we were the last one. But that’s all the more reason to keep fighting
RT @RenewEurope: 🚨BREAKING
@europarl_en declares: Hungary is no longer a full democracy!
But we won't punish 🇭🇺citizens for PM Orbán's actions
At our initiative, EP wants to pass EU funds directly to civil society, instead of giving it to Orbán's corrupt government
@Ryanair Well played, @Ryanair 👏
A great discussion, thanks for having us @suzannelynch1! EU Confidential is of my favorite podcasts & great running companion! ☺️🏃🏻♀️
