It is deeply regrettable that Spanish Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska chose not to appear before the European Parliament to answer our questions. What happened in Ceuta was serious. Thousands of people crossed an EU external border illegally and many lost their lives👇🏽 https://t.co/WWnwyZoeHj #Ceuta #EU #GrandeMarlaska #ES #EU
Border protection is not negotiable. 🚨We requested an urgent debate on Ceuta with Spanish authorities, Commission & Frontex in the Justice and Home Affairs committee. EU must make full use of the Frontex mandate & every instrument available under the Schengen acquis. #BorderProtection #Frontex #SchengenAcquis #ES #EU
Prime Minister @sanchezcastejon said he blamed criminal networks for the crisis in Ceuta. He forgot to mention that he himself, as prime minister, is reaping what he sowed. The criminal networks are fueled by his irresponsible migration policy. #Spain #Ceuta #MigrationPolicy #Spain #ES
#Ceuta Spain has failed, Europe must intervene. It is also a matter of safety. Who are the people who have entered? No one knows it. 🚨I have requested a debate in the EP plenary. The competent Spanish minister must also be heard in the Committee on Internal Affairs. (translated)
Schengen is being destroyed by the left wing Spanish government. What happened in Spain is appalling and is a direct drawback of Sanchez’s migration policy that supports humans smuggling. The EU must play a bigger role in Ceuta using @Frontex because Spain consistently failed. #Schengen #Sanchez #MigrationPolicy #ES #EU
Berlin. What if you are in that place, and just want to enjoy each other for a moment, and then such a killing machine strikes. Love is not allowed. Freedom is not allowed. You see, ISIS has not disappeared. And such dangerous people are just walking around here. ISIS has not disappeared but the victims are. (translated)
One of my priorities as a Member of European Parliament is to push for the designation of The Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organisation because, that is exactly what they are. If we do not do that, then we are not serious about tackling radical Islam and protecting the https://t.co/XMq4MEHM74 #MuslimBrotherhood #Terrorism #RadicalIslam #EU
A serious gap in EU law: marital captivity - forcing girls into child-marriage and preventing them from leaving it for religious reasons - is not punished at the European level. This must change! The Netherlands has already legislated to ensure all women have equal access to https://t.co/py94PYgx2x #ChildMarriage #EUlaw #WomensRights #EU #NL
Christians are a heavily persecuted religious group worldwide. The situation in Nigeria is particularly dire. Today we voted to protect the rights of Christians persecuted in Nigeria.

European values are not à la carte. The EU needs to give faith to people again. Faith in Justice Faith in equality Faith in what the Soul of Europe is. To me it means our values are not à la carte.

I haven’t heard much about antisemitisme during the presentation of the Irish presidency. Yet a big issue in Europe. As you know we still need to protect Jewish schools and institutions in many European cities and this is a fact we should not be comfortable with. I totally https://t.co/6v9IMpvIvE #Antisemitism #JewishCommunities #EuropeanUnity #IE #EU
When we talk about fundamental rights, we must not forget the consequences of discrimination against women within radical Islam, the hatred by the Muslim Brotherhood, and the rampant anti-Semitism in Europe. This was my point today in the justice and home affairs committee. https://t.co/wWvsatiu8C #FundamentalRights #Discrimination #AntiSemitism #EU #US #IL
