Thanks @ben_golub ! Once was and will be again!
RT @ben_golub: kind of amazing that Garicano was one of us economic theorists (incidentally wrote one of my favorite networks papers, the JPE one screenshotted below)
now leading the charge in Europe to, in his words, stop buying Russia's bullets
RT @RenewEurope: 🔥 The @europarl_en has just adopted Renew Europe’s call for an immediate, full EU embargo on Russian imports of oil, coal, nuclear fuel and gas.

It has been an honor to negotiate on behalf of @RenewEurope the historic resolution on an immediate ban of Russian gas and oil.
Thank you to all the colleagues and staff who made this possible. The work does not stop here. Now, we must ensure it is implemented.
RT @LukaszRachel: For anyone who thinks 🇩🇪 GDP would fall by 5%+ on energy ban:
do you *really* think this shock would be bigger than 🇮🇹 euro crisis?
& btw "mass poverty" claims put Greek experience in perspective. Ofc, Greeks "deserved it" for their bad policy choices.
Oh, wait a minute 🤔
The money keeps flowing to Putin: another oil tanker from Russia arrives in an EU port tomorrow, the 7th of April.
Destination: Italy - Santa Panagia
Ship Name: Lomonosov Prospect
IMO: 9826732
Carrying approx 98.396 tonnes of Crude Oil worth an estimated $83.5 M
9/N
RT @ben_moll: English translation of this excerpt of a statement by German economics ministry.
The ministry itself thinks an oil embargo would be feasible at minor costs. We have reserves for 200 days and can buy oil from elsewhere.
Nevertheless Berlin continues to slow down the EU response.
Pres. @vonderleyen announced coal ban worth a pityful €4bn. There was no reaction from Parliament.
Maybe as a result, she has ad-libbed (it sounded like it, at least) a proposal to put Russian energy payments in an escrow account (out of Putin's reach). This is a step forward.
RT @RenewEurope: Today VP @lugaricano chaired a meeting with #RenewEurope Finance Ministers, President of @EIB & @BillyKelleherEU to discuss economic measures to stop Russia from invading Ukraine & diminish the impact on the EU economy ahead of the ECOFIN Council meeting. 🇩🇪🇱🇺🇪🇪🇫🇮🇪🇺
I can't help thinking that we paid for the weapons used for the atrocity in Bucha. And here we go again: two oil tankers arrived in Rotterdam today, for which we paid ~$76M and $79M. Shameful.
Names – Sabetta and Clearocean Ajax
Carrying together 140,000 tonnes of Crude Oil
8/N
RT @RenewEurope: "The EU has taken unprecedented steps, but it's clearly not enough. The bullets in Bucha were brought with our money." says @lugaricano #EUCO
RT @jordi_canyas: Los aliados de Putin en Europa y sus socios en la ultraderecha europea son los caballos de Troya del Kremlin contra las democracias europeas.
Comparten valores, discurso y objetivos.
RT @d_boeselager: 2y ago, I started a cross-party group (‘Young Europeans’) to improve Parliament.
Now, our efforts bear first fruits 💪
*QUESTION TIME* MEPs are selected randomly to ask @vonderleyen anything!
*PRIME-TIME DEBATES* Today & tomorrow morning debates are w min 2min speeches!
😊🙏🏼
Thanks to the ministers of GER, LUX, EST, FIN and
Werner Hoyer for a good @RenewEurope @ALDEParty EcoFin pre-Council meeting. We discussed hardening of sactions, the OECD corporate income tax agreement, the SPA/NL agreement on Euro governance.
Desayuno en Luxemburgo para preparar Ecofin con los ministros de Economía/Finanzas de Alemania, Lux.,Est. y Fin. Hemos hablado de:
1.Cómo endurecer las sanciones,
2.Acuerdo (bloqueado por Polonia)sobre impuestos mínimos corporativos
3.Documento ESP/Países Bajos sobre déficit.
RT @GuyVerhofstadt: 🚨207 MEPs, one call for action after the atrocities in #Bucha.
We cannot wait for more war crimes to happen.
Putin’s regime must be starved of resources NOW! #EUCO 👇
Please Hungarians. Choose freedom, choose democracy, choose Europe. So much depends on you. #VoteOrbanOut
RT @katka_cseh: Every oppressive regime falls one day. Let today be the day for us.

What the hell does "never again" mean? We will never again massacre civilians, but paying for it is fine?
RT @maxseddon: Good lord. In Bucha, one of the towns near Kyiv that Russia recently withdrew from, Ukrainian forces found a mass grave with nearly 300 people in it and dozens of civilians lying dead in the streets.
Pure horror.

RT @rglucks1: La résistance ukrainienne, en repoussant les troupes russes autour de Kyiv, découvre l’ampleur des crimes commis par l’occupant.
Tous ceux qui ont, ici, soutenu Poutine depuis des années et/ou ont relayé la propagande russe ces dernières semaines sont complices de ces horreurs.

Seeing this picture feels me with shame at the European leaders.
Business "uber alles" needs to stop.
Stop financing Putin's war.
RT @Podolyak_M: Bucha, Kyiv region. The bodies of people with tied hands, who were shot dead by 🇷🇺 soldiers lie in the streets. These people were not in the military. They had no weapons. They posed no threat. How many more such cases are happening right now in the occupied terr…
