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 🤔
Muchas gracias Paco, por tus palabras. Mi discurso más personal desde que estoy en el Parlamento.
RT @FranciscoIgea: Querido @lugaricano creo que no te he dicho suficientes veces lo orgulloso que estoy de ser tu amigo. No solo eres un político excepcional. Eres un ser humano. Gracias por representar lo mejor de la política en estos días. Gracias, gracias, gracias
@FranciscoIgea ¡Muchas gracias Paco por tus generosísimas palabras!

RT @BalEdmundo: Mañana el @europarl_es vota una resolución histórica y decisiva. Los crímenes de guerra en Bucha no admiten tibieza: debemos dejar de financiar atrocidades y embargar el petróleo y el gas a Rusia. Gracias @Cs_Europa y @lugaricano por liderar la iniciativa.
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.
@lucasguttenberg @DelorsBerlin @henrikenderlein @BMWK They are lucky to have you indeed! Congratulations! You have been a unique source of information and insights!
The last betrayal from Orban. Brutal break with a clear EU position.
For how long are the EU leaders going to put up with Orban siding with our enemies?
RT @Mij_Europe: Yikes
Hungarian Foreign Minister Szijjarto says Hungary is preparing to pay for Russian Gas in Rubles

President von der Leyen, a gas ban is possible. We aren't even trying. If Europe does not stop funding Putin, history will not see us as bystanders. History will know we were complicit.
My speech in the European Parliament 👇
Orban's spokesman: FM Szijjártó recalls embassador in Ukraine, continues treating @ZelenskyyUa as enemy.
It is time Hungary's participation in EU be suspended: we must urgently apply article 7.
A condition for Poland to receive a single Euro must be to support this move.

RT @mariaramirezNY: Un artículo importante de @iescolar recordando quién es Putin y defendiendo nuestra cobertura de la guerra por la que unos pocos socios se han dado de baja. Como jefa de Internacional, puedo decir que lo único que me guía es el respeto a los hechos https://www.eldiario.es/escolar/gernika-1937_132_8892809.html
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 @jcremer: Clear, well-written, and convincing. Read, and ask for action from our governments.
Don't forget that 🇺🇦 needs weapons too.
Stopping the war and the atrocities is the first and only priority, even before bringing the perpetrators of atrocities to justice.
Today in @POLITICOEurope I respond to the Commission's proposal to eliminate coal: "Why only coal? Europe can afford to ban Russian gas too."

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. 🇩🇪🇱🇺🇪🇪🇫🇮🇪🇺
RT @lugaricano: El dinero de los europeos ha pagado las balas de Bucha. Por eso, desde Renew Europe proponemos dejar de importar petróleo, gas y carbón rusos.
El jueves el Parlamento Europeo votará para dejar de financiar la guerra de Putin.
