Very good discussion with the director of the House of European History, Dr. Constanze Itzel.

Future cooperation between the museum and the Minority Intergroup would enrich the @HistoriaEuropa collection and give visibility to national and linguistic minorities.

The overwhelming majority of the @europarl_en supported a democratic Myanmar today.
RT @EPinASEAN: 🇲🇲 #Myanmar: "We need better, stronger international coordination on sanctions that directly target the military junta. [...] We must continue the support together with our regional partners of @NUGMyanmar to ensure a transition to democracy and a tolerant society," @vinczelorant

The @EPPGroup delivered on its promises regarding law enforcement & security since 2019.

We strengthened our institutions, antiterrorist response and tackled cross border criminality.

We are on the side of the citizens and we made sure that the #EU 🇪🇺 is safe and secure.

During @EPPGroup meeting in 🇬🇷 I stated that there are no reasons for more delays & we have waited enough feeling like second class Europeans.

It is time for us to join #Schengen!

@europarl_en should reaffirm its strong support for the accession of 🇷🇴,🇧🇬 & 🇭🇷.

👉Languages are not just a means of communication: the mother tongue is the carrier of the wisdom of our culture, of our people as a whole, passed down from generation to generation.

👉Language is vital for our minority communities for our European future 🇪🇺 @npldeu

At an event organised by @npldeu I stated that it is really worrisome that many minority languages are disappearing in Europe.

Also, at #CoFoE, together with FUEN, NPLD, ELEN, Minority Intergroup, we put very good proposals on the table, but only partial results were achieved.

Today we are celebrating the European Day of Languages, which includes all #languages, even if the #EU only focuses on the 23 official languages.
❗️ They forget the minority languages, which are the ones that really need support❗️

At the conference organized today by Konrad Adenauer Stiftung and @andrassyuni I talked about minority rights and minority protection in #Europe.

I said: minorities don’t need favors, but opportunities. Individual and collective rights to protect their languages and cultures.

One of the national minorities in the country are the Sinti and Roma, which have been living in Germany for about 600 years.

We have to acknowledge that, overall, there has been no expansion of rights for minority communities and no strengthening of the existing legal frameworks. In fact, it seems as if we are witnessing a regression in recent years.
Minority rights are human rights!

Unfortunately, in the EU Member States we can still see that the application of #democracy is sometimes selective, especially when it comes to #minority education rights. 4/4

Involving #minorities in decision-making, guaranteeing their rights and supporting their community development are fundamental elements of modern #democracy. 3/4

👉the rights of #minorities living in a state are an important measure of its democracy
👉democracy cannot be a dictatorship of the majority over everyone else. 2/4
