Tell me you haven’t read the Treaties without telling me you haven’t read the Treaties
RT @Tsihanouskaya: In the European Parliament, we discussed how to formalize the relationship between the Parliament & democratic Belarus. History gives us a unique chance to return Belarus to the European family of nations. We should act quickly, so we won’t wake up as a Russian colony one day.
@TerryReintke @GreensEFA Congratulations! 🥳👏👏
A pleasure to meet @JulieMajerczak from @RSF_inter today with my @RenewEurope colleague @GiorgosKyrtsos. We talked about pressing issues of media freedom— understandably a key focus for two MEPs from Greece & Hungary
It was an honor to have Sviatlana @Tsihanouskaya, leader of democratic Belarus, at our group meeting yesterday. Her relentless fight for freedom in her country could not be more inspiring— and Europe needs to support them.
RT @GuyVerhofstadt: Europe's ineffectiveness in this crisis keeps blowing my mind 🤯
US gives 2x support to 🇺🇦 than EU + Member States combined
Europe is slow to pledge and even slower to deliver
Compared with what we see coming from Moscow this is political amateurism & geopolitical madness
RT @larrouturou: Un belle table ronde devant une salle comble au Parlement européen pour parler d’EACOP et des activités de Total en Ouganda et Tanzanie.

RT @lesiavasylenko: Just minutes from my home. Just 20 minutes ago. What is #Russia trying to hit? The national university? The park? Or the playground?
Despicable, cowardly attack, killing and terrorizing innocent civilians in #Kyiv.
Say it, loud and clear: Putin is a war criminal.
Great to see our neighbors in #Austria 🇦🇹 so decisively rejecting far-right populism.
Congratulations to Alexander @VanderBellen upon his reelection as President!
Orban’s hot take on the Eurozone’s problems, from his infamous race-mixing speech:
“the South shows no willingness to suddenly change their culture, so their debt levels are at 120-150-180 percent”
I wonder how the “lazy Southerner” slur will fly with his Spanish far-right fans
As brave protesters continue to take to the streets in #Iran & the regime responds with escalating brutality, it’s evermore urgent that EU diplomacy swings into action.
Important panel organized by @BudapestForum22 on the links between political polarization & autocratization (which we see, up close in Hungary) & what we can do to save our democracies
Here’s a great writeup by Attila Szabó & @dzunicam from @tasz_hu

RT @donmoyn: Authoritarian leaders firing public servants as a means to maintain power, stifle dissent about declining quality of public services

A background thread to the amazing protests in Budapest👇

This is only the beginning. Both teachers & students feel that they have nothing left to lose, that things cannot get worse. They will continue demonstrating, demanding immediate reforms with prior consultation. We are fully behind them. And they need Europe’s support too.

They are joined by tens of thousands of angry parents & allies, who understand that a country's future is being squandered by the incredible cynicism and shortsightedness of the Orbán-government. The masses' strong solidarity with teachers is truly touching.

It is hardly surprising that teachers have had enough. Long-simmering frustration was now brought to the surface with the help of their students, who organised the current protest movement with amazing maturity and aptitude.
