When will the EU finally put those Muslim Brotherhood members on the EU terrorist list? @vonderleyen spoke extensively about EU support to rebuild Gaza, but not a word is said about the Muslim Brotherhood, which plays a particularly disruptive role both in Gaza itself and in Europe... (translated)

🚨I do like to help shoulder the new European Kids Act! In her speech, President @vonderleyen rightly paid a lot of attention to the problem of loneliness and social isolation of more and more children, who often spend hours on social media. (translated)

What happened at the end of July in Ceuta was a human tragedy and a political failure. So let's, as the European Parliament, take our responsibility, stop playing political games, and give the citizens a clear signal. And stand up for our own principles. (translated)

Since today, Meloni is the longest-serving prime minister in Italy, and she remains notably popular. Her approach shows us how politicians can win the hearts of citizens with a combination of pragmatism and determination. Well done! (translated)

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. To clearly condemn all violence perpetrated against civilians and denounce the alarming rise https://t.co/x7a4en2tKN #ChristianPersecution #Nigeria #HumanRights #NG

Temporary measure protects children and safeguards privacy. Every day is a day too late for children who are abused. Internet platforms must be able to intervene against images of child abuse. Encrypted messages, like those on WhatsApp and Signal, do not fall under this. (translated)

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. It means we all have access to the same Justice. That no woman is subject to https://t.co/4lyBeU4o3X #EuropeanValues #Justice #Equality #EU #FR

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

Just reached an agreement with the Council on a new directive against child abuse. With stricter penalties, longer statutes of limitations, and better definitions, Europe is tackling child abuse. Our children are finally getting the protection they deserve. (translated)

The European directive on equal pay is a disaster for women and businesses. Equal pay for equal work is a necessary struggle. The solution does not lie in positive discrimination, but in respecting meritocracy and listening to women. (translated)

Voted for the most important migration deal of the past ten years in the European Parliament. It has been a long and difficult road, but finally there is a result. Citizens expect Europe to take action. ✅This law will largely come into effect immediately. (translated)
