- Serbia’s authorities must immediately stop this campaign of media lynching and public vilification of a family through hate speech, political intimidation, and blatant calls for persecution. The country’s leadership must ensure the safety of the Božović family and uphold basicThe EU must not remain silent while such abuses are committed by a country seeking its membership. The European Commission must examine this case closely and respond accordingly. 🧵 3/3 @kvanbrempt @TPicula @ProgPost_FEPS
- Russian attacks against communities on the Union’s eastern border are attacks against Europe and require a common European response. Europe must turn its defence rhetoric into action and accelerate the creation of a genuine European Defence Union.
- Prevention, protection & addressing root causes - that’s how we stop organised crime recruiting children. We welcome today's @Europarl_EN resolution: it's time to tackle social exclusion, educational and cultural poverty, and to hold online platforms accountable when criminals
- Today, we adopted an S&D-led resolution urging an end to attacks against civil society, political actors, student organisations, and journalists and media in Burkina Faso. Burkinabe authorities must stop repression, restore civic space and set out a credible path towards
- We deeply regret today’s vote in the EU Parliament. The EPP, backed by the far right, wants to undermine the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive, weaken the polluter-pays principle and delay its implementation. @woelken @ale_moretti Full article here 👇

- For more than 550 days, Georgians have taken to the streets to defend their democracy, freedom and their European future. They fight, despite growing repression and democratic backsliding by a regime that increasingly operates in the shadow of the Kremlin. We stand with them!
- Today, the 🇪🇺 Parliament reaffirmed Albania’s outstanding commitment to the EU, backed by overwhelming public support. With all negotiation clusters opened in just 13 months and the recent completion of the mid-term review, Albania is clearly on the right path, although much
- "Today, some are celebrating the agreement between the United States and Iran. And yes, any prospect of peace is welcome. But we must not forget the reality. Where is the democracy that Trump and Netanyahu promised?" 🗨️ @IratxeGarper
- The Return Regulation undermines fundamental rights, weakens safeguards, & takes EU migration policy backwards. We reject this regulation, a product of EPP & far-right cooperation, and will vote against it in Plenary later today. Full article here 👇
