For the first time in its history, the European Parliament has initiated a procedure that could ultimately lead to the dissolution of a European political party. This sets a concerning precedent, raising fundamental questions about political pluralism and the right to hold and https://t.co/qznPfuHW9N #EuropeanParliament #PoliticalPluralism #EUPolitics #EU
Europe is coming together, becoming ever more resilient. But at the member-state level, domestic politics becomes ever more volatile. That threatens to cast EU into disarray, hobbling its bid for independence, exposed to the predations of the far right https://t.co/S0jIfte0A1 #Europe #EUpolitics #FarRight #EU
EU-parlamentti äänestää tänään lentomatkustajien oikeuksien päivityksistä, jotka takaavat muun muassa maksuttomat käsimatkatavarat ja perheiden istumapaikat sekä selkeämmät korvaukset lentoja koskevista viivästyksistä ja peruutuksista. #LentomatkustajienOikeudet #EUpolitics #MTVUutiset
SD requested today a debate in the EU Parliament about the murder of Christian Zedig. The proposal was approved. The debate takes place at 19:45 tonight. I cannot understand why the SWEDISH Social Democrats voted no. I look forward to critical questions from the media. Debate title: "Parliament (translated)
#ChatControl masterclass in undermining democratic legitimacy. EU Parliament rejected mass-scanning of citizens' messages. Its president's answer? Use an exceptional procedure & force a new vote under rules that make rejection much harder than approval. https://t.co/WzxAYg6yh0 #ChatControl #Democracy #EUPolitics #EU
If you want to know why this does not die: EU countries are majority in favor of it. So the EU parliament can’t kill it. Because it would be EU legislation the countries can blame it on the EU because they know it’s unpopular. #EUpolitics #legislation #EUdebate #EU #EU
@TheresaAFallon @RauZbigniew @DmytroKuleba Good question. Can you imagine that the European External Action Service was effectively hijacked by German diplomacy and used to lobby against U.S. sanctions on Nord Stream in Washington? Poland and the Baltic states protested. The Nordic countries largely chose silence rather #NordStream #EUpolitics #Geopolitics #DE #US #PL #EE #LV #LT #NO
Da bahnt sich ein ganz großer Erfolg der RU Propaganda an. Kann passieren, dass in absehbarer Zeit Polen der große Blockierer innerhalb der EU wird, ein mehr als vollwertiger Ersatz für Orban, auch weil parteiübergreifend #EUPolitics #Propaganda #EasternEurope
As if nothing happened... EU institutions stay awkwardly silent as the new government of Péter Magyar violates basic democratic principles and threatens independent institutions in Hungary. The EPP and its left-wing allies refused to allow a debate about it both in the LIBE #Hungary #Democracy #EUPolitics #EU #HU
For the EU, Brexit breakup has been bruising but educational. Europeans in many countries have watched the chaos unfold and figured that, despite their many gripes with Brussels, attempting a local version of Brexit would be distinctly unwise https://t.co/88ajId1dth #Brexit #EUpolitics #LessonsLearned #EU #GB
"Israel is a key partner'' (from the EU chapter on 'partners in crime'). I hope EU ambassadors, officials and staff will finally voice their dismay. The limit has long been reached. #Israel #EUpolitics #PartnersInCrime #IL #EU
US Treasury Secretary says Zelensky is "acting like Mr Bean on crack" but that's no problem for the EU who still have Zelensky as their 'poster boy', even if Poland have issues with his open support for Nazis... #Zelensky #USTreasury #EUPolitics #US #EU #PL
10 years on, has the Brexit vote helped or hindered the EU? The UK has slid down the list of priorities as the EU confronts Russia’s war, Chinese economic competition and whatever crazy thing Trump has done today. Brexit made decisions easier … no doubt https://t.co/Cie35EWzr1 #Brexit #EUpolitics #GlobalChallenges #UK #RU #CN #US
The EU representative in Israel just had ''a lot of fun'' in Bersheva. 40 km from the Gaza destruction camp, where Israel -army, institutions, politicians- has condemned what remains of Gaza and its people, to absolute misery. Every era has its blind spots and zones of interest. #Israel #Gaza #EUpolitics #IL #EU #GA
German Ursula von der Leyen is pushing for restrictions on Ukrainian refugees. In a letter to EU leaders, she called for limiting the acceptance of Ukrainian refugees, especially men of military age to serve as cannon fodder for Zelensky.... (translated)
Dear Mr. Foreign Minister, The position taken by EU Foreign Affairs Representative Kaja Kallas is unacceptable and utterly despicable! I will combat this hostile stance toward Israel at the parliamentary and political levels. It is shameful to see a new form of anti-Semitism #Israel #AntiSemitism #EUPolitics #IL #EU
The EU is talking about digital sovereignty and stifling innovation at the same time. Investing in the European tech sector requires cheaper energy and less regulation. What is happening in the European Parliament in the name of digital sovereignty is embarrassing. https://t.co/2bW8LHSXJY #DigitalSovereignty #TechInnovation #EUPolitics #EU #EU
The EU enlargement process must be based on genuine merit and tangible reforms. Albania and Montenegro have not yet resolved all of their challenges, yet they remain among the leading candidates for EU membership precisely because of the efforts they are making and the reforms https://t.co/hkr0mTU1KL #EUpolitics #EUenlargement #BalkansReforms #AL #ME
Today, I welcomed President of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola @EP_President to the Presidential Palace. 🇸🇰🇪🇺 The European Parliament is the EU’s only directly elected institution. The laws and budgets it helps shape are not abstract. They affect our regions, https://t.co/w0NFvkYV51 #EuropeanParliament #RobertaMetsola #EUpolitics #SK #EU
UN report: Global migration has nearly tripled since 2000. Record lobbying in the EU: Corporations are increasing lobbying expenditures by nearly 50 percent. Five countries demand that the voting rights of new EU members be suspended. This and more in our newsletter. (translated)
