Yesterday the European Parliament called for “Nordstream 1 and 2 to be completely abandoned.”
I visited these gas pipelines in the North of Germany to explain why it is possible to stop importing Putin’s gas.
RT @Macron2022: Aucun député RN n'a pris part hier au vote du Parlement européen concernant les sanctions contre la Russie. #MarinePoutine
@erikbryn Thanks very much, @erikbryn, for the kind words.
Is it possible that Germany is blocking even a tiny measure blocking coal imports from Russia worth €4bn? I am speechless.
RT @Bjoern__M: #EU's full ban on Russian coal to be pushed back to mid-August because of pressure by #Germany:

RT @mariatad: Draghi «acquistando a questi prezzi stiamo finanziando indirettamente la guerra della Russia, una guerra di cui Mosca dovrà rendere conto».
Estoy muy orgulloso del abrumador apoyo que hemos conseguido para que el Parlamento Europeo exija dejar de importar gas, petróleo y carbón ruso inmediatamente.
Hace unos días parecía que desde @CiudadanosCs estábamos solos pidiéndolo, hoy es la posición del Parlamento Europeo.
RT @andersostlund: German leaders should consider what their objections to harder sanctions against Russia will do to Germany's reputation. I don't think Germans will enjoy being asked about why Germany didn't do what it could to stop Russia for a generation to come.
@raffasadun @ben_golub Thanks @raffasadun, you are too kind!
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
@BalEdmundo @Cs_Europa Muchas gracias, Edmundo! Todo el equipo ha trabajado mucho y bien, y vuestro apoyo desde Madrid ha sido absoluto y clave.
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.
Today, by an overwhelming majority, the European Parliament voted for an immediate embargo on Russian gas and oil (513+, 22-, 19abs)
The people of Europe refuse to finance the murder of our Ukrainian fellow citizens. The European Council should listen.
@begonavillacis Muchas gracias, Begoña. Seguimos luchandopor ayudarles juntos
#WeStandWithUkraine
RT @begonavillacis: Si la política tiene un sentido es hacer lo correcto en ocasiones como esta. Estar donde debes: con mi compañero @lugaricano y con la lucha de los liberales en favor del pueblo de Ucrania y en contra de la agresión rusa #WeStandWithUkraine
RT @alvaronieto: Bravo, Luis, gran discurso. Hay debates que se deben abordar con urgencia. Gracias por ponerlos sobre la mesa.
@alvaronieto Gracias, Álvaro!
Draghi explica el dilema con claridad: ¿qué prefirimos la paz o el aire acondicionado?
RT @pietroraffa: #Draghi, rispondendo a una domanda sull'embargo sul gas:"Ci chiediamo se il prezzo del gas possa essere scambiato con la pace. Cosa preferiamo? La pace, o star tranquilli con l'aria condizionata accesa tutta l'estate? Questa è la domanda da porsi"
Top Russian economist @sguriev argues that an energy embargo would force Putin to abandon the war within months, because he could not finance it. Thread
RT @schnellenbachj: Gerade argumentiert @sguriev in einer Diskussion, dass ein Energieembargo Putin innerhalb von Monaten zur Aufgabe des Krieges führen würde. Wieso? Weil es sein Budget hart trifft. Etwa 40% der Staatseinnahmen Russlands kommen aus Abgaben auf Energieexporte. 1/
