Yes, a democratic transition in Venezuela is urgently needed. BUT: Violent air strikes to enforce regime change destroy a rules based world order. They do not offer a lasting path to peace or democracy. But bring more violence. The EU has to clearly react and stand up to defend international law.

The UK leaving Erasmus was always a misunderstanding. British students soon rejoining EU universities is more than a policy shift - it’s a generation reconnecting. Welcome home. 🇪🇺🎓

Today, we celebrate this victory for reproductive rights in the EU. Tomorrow, we continue the fight to guarantee people's freedoms and fundamental rights. 📽💬 @terryreintke.bsky.social, Greens/EFA Group co-president.

All I want for Christmas is for this vote to pass. 🫰💜

Tomorrow the European Parliament decides. This is about women’s rights. Get informed. Get loud. Info & action: myvoice-mychoice.org

💔 Our hearts go out to everyone affected by the Bondi Beach shooting. We strongly condemn this act of Antisemitic violence. Europe stands up for diversity and respect. Jewish life is an essential part of that. We are at your side.

We want a strong democracy in a strong Europe. 🌍 We want a Europe that delivers on the Paris Agreement 🌱 We want a Europe that stands up to aggressors and bullies. That defends international law. ✊ So inspiring to meet green leaders from all over Europe in Brussels today.💚

In Hungary, organising a peaceful Pride in a small city is an act of courage. Géza Buzás-Hábel did it in Pécs – and now faces criminal charges. We stand with Géza ❤️💚 You can’t silence a rainbow. 🌈

Serbia’s Green co-leader and MP Biljana Đorđević was threatened with being “slaughtered”, the attacker is member of the illegal paramilitary camp „Ćaćiland“. Serbia is an EU candidate country - we cannot tolerate politically motivated violence.

The European Union, our home 🇪🇺 A space of freedom and democracy. A unique achievement for peace and prosperity 🕊️ A stronger Europe is now more important than ever 💪🏻 Let us fight for it. Together. ❤️🇪🇺💚

💚 Congratulations to Samet Yilmaz, our new Green Mayor of the fantastic city of Kiel! 👏🏻

Bem-vindas a Portugal. 💚❤️ This weekend the European Green family comes together for the 40th time for our annual congress in Lisbon. 🌻 Now more than ever, we need a united Green movement to tackle the climate crisis & build a just future for Europe. Vamos lá! 💪

Konservative im EP: Veggie-Wurst verbieten, Verbrauchertäuschung! Auch Konservative: Hinweispflicht auf genmanipulierten Lebensmitteln total überflüssig. Das setzen wir mal mit den Rechtsextremen durch. Seriously?

4 winters of Putin’s war. Daily attacks, destruction, war crimes. Ukraine needs more help. The €210 bn in frozen Russian assets must finally be released. Putin must pay the costs of his destruction, not European taxpayers. It’s time for all European governments to act. Now.

Budapest ❤️ Orbán’s government wants to financially drain the capital because it resists his authoritarian dirty play. Our brave Green Mayor Gergely Karácsony is fighting back. Hungary’s capital deserves fair funding, not retaliation. We stand with Budapest. ❤️🤍💚

Trump and Putin share a disrespect for democracy and freedom. Values that we hold dear in Europe. We will not be divided by dictators or far-right forces. Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine. Nothing about Europe without Europe. Solidarity with Ukraine.

All women and girls deserve safety, protection, and spaces where they can report violence without fear. All EU countries must act to end gender-based violence. And we need the far-right to stop blocking progress while pretending to care.

Lothar Keiner liebte das Leben. Nach der mittleren Reife bereiste er die Welt, sprach Englisch, Französisch und Italienisch. 1940 wurde der Montagearbeiter in Gelsenkirchen verhaftet und heute vor 84 Jahren ermordet. Weil er schwul war. #NeverAgain 🌈

Freedom of movement also means the freedom to love beyond national borders. The European Court of Justice ruled today: A marriage lawfully concluded in one EU country must be recognised across the Union. Love in one EU country is love in all. 🌈🇪🇺

Copenhagen ❤️ 🇩🇰 💚 This great city will become even more wonderful with the new green mayor @SisseMarieWe 👏🏻 And Greens won also in rural areas, overall they scored a plus of 3.5% People want to live in a healthy environment. Greens take responsibility 💪🏻

Europa hat heute verloren. Die Konservativen haben zusammen mit der extremen Rechten gestimmt und den Schutz vor Kinderarbeit und Umweltzerstörung verwässert. Manfred Weber hat dieses Bündnis ermöglicht. Ein Preis, den Europas Demokratie teuer zahlen wird.

Im EU-Parlament durchlöchern Manfred Webers Konservative heute die Brandmauer. Seine EVP hat die Verhandlungen zum Lieferkettengesetz platzen lassen und holt sich die Stimmen jetzt bei Orbán und LePen. Adenauer & Kohl würden sich im Grab umdrehen act.greens-efa.eu/de/manfred

Check out our full press release here: 📰 Minimum Wage Directive Put Beyond All Doubt – But Adequacy of Wages Needs Stronger Rules

The minimum wage isn’t just a number – it’s dignity, security, and opportunity for millions. Today’s ECJ ruling sends a strong message: The minimum wage is a cornerstone of the social Europe we’re building. We’ll never stop fighting for workers’ rights and fair pay. 💪🇪🇺

Ten years ago, we fought hard in Paris for ambitious climate goals — it wasn’t easy, but together we made it happen. Now, as leaders gather in Belém, Europe must step up, take responsibility, and lead the fight against climate change. The clock is ticking. 🌍

The women of Latvia 🇱🇻 don’t bow down when their rights are attacked - they stand up and take to the streets 💪🏻 Withdrawing from the Istanbul Convention hands power to Putin-inspired autocrats and moves us further from democratic values. We must not allow this.

💚 Das Ruhrgebiet ist das Herz Europas – und wir machen es gemeinsam zur Herzkammer des grünen Wandels. Ich freue mich riesig über das Vertrauen und darauf, diese Aufgabe als Vorsitzende des GRÜNEN Bezirksverbands Ruhr @gruene_ruhr anzupacken. Für ein Ruhrgebiet, das wieder an sich glaubt. 💪🌻

Solidarity with Géza and everyone who marched for love and equality at #PecsPride. Being criminalised for a peaceful Pride is unacceptable in the EU. We demand action from the Commission.

Der Deutsche Umweltpreis geht nach Gelsenkirchen - an ZINQ 💚 Ein starkes Signal aus dem Ruhrgebiet: Industrie, Innovation und Klimaschutz gehören zusammen. Herzlichen Glückwunsch an Herrn Baumgürtel und das ganze Team! 👏 📸 @nilsleonbrauer

Orbán is the best ally Putin could have inside the EU. We need answers: Did Orbán’s people spy on the European Commission? We need an inquiry committee. Now.

They reported on their governments’ abuse of power. They paid the price. The SakharovPrize 2025 honours Mzia Amaglobeli (Georgia) and Andrzej Poczobut (Belarus). Both are in prison. Their courage reminds us: Journalism is not a crime.

Hamburg ❤️ Wir sehen doch: Die Menschen in Deutschland wollen Klimaschutz. Jetzt. Nächste Woche ist EU-Gipfel: Macron und Merz wollen die EU-Klimaziele schleifen. Das dürfen wir nicht zulassen. Wir wollen Verantwortung statt weirde Veggie-Verbote. www.ndr.de/nachrichten/...

Across Europe, queer people face growing hostility - I saw it again last Saturday at the banned Pride in Pécs. It is good the Commission continues its LGBTIQ Strategy, but it still lacks real action. We need courage now - to turn promises into progress.

When Ukrainians fight for freedom, they fight for all of us. One day, I want to see Ukrainian colleagues sitting with us in this chamber. Building a stronger and more united Europe. Together.🇺🇦🇪🇺

Across every city and village in Europe: You matter. You are loved. 🌈 Today, we stand together at #PécsPride – loud & proud, in love and solidarity. 💜 Happy Pécs Pride. 🫶

Today, I’m traveling to Hungary to stand with Pécs Pride on Saturday 💚 Pride will not be silenced 🌈 Supporting Pécs Pride means standing for justice, human rights, and the rule of law – not only in capitals, but in every town and village across Europe 💪🏻

Moldovans chose Europe - despite Russian interference. Now the EU must deliver: make accession real, rigorous, and successful. We owe it to the people of Moldova.

This Sunday’s elections will be decisive for Moldova’s future. Putin wants to gain a foothold to turn it into a vassal state. But this wonderful country belongs to the European family. It deserves a real future: Democracy, the rule of law, and prosperity. 🇪🇺🇲🇩

Freedom of assembly is a fundamental right for every EU citizen, whether in Berlin, Paris, Budapest, or Pécs. We call on the European Commission to live up to its responsibility as guardian of the treaties and to urge the Hungarian authorities to lift the ban on Pécs Pride 🌈 🇪🇺

NRW in Grün 💚 Am 28. September stehen die Stichwahlen an – und wir geben nochmal alles! Jede Stimme zählt: Denn mit starken Grünen in Verantwortung kommt Bewegung in deine Stadt. Lasst uns gemeinsam zeigen, wie viel wir verändern können – für ein gerechtes, lebendiges und grünes NRW.

Kommunalwahlen in NRW ❤️ Dass wir frei wählen können, dass wir freie faire friedliche Wahlen haben, kann man in diesen Zeiten gar nicht genug wertschätzen. Danke an alle Demokrat*innen, die sich kommunalpolitisch engagieren. 🙏🏻 Und natürlich: Go Greens. 💚

Kölle un Berîvan Aymaz jehöre zosamme wie Hätz un Seel ❤️ Die beste Oberbürgermeisterin, die sich diese wunderbare bunte und diverse Stadt wünschen kann. Mit Klugheit und Weitsicht. Und einem noch größeren Herzen Geht Sonntag wählen, Berîvan for Kölle 💚💚💚 📸 Nils Leon Brauer

Herzlichen Glückwunsch @phoenix_de 💐👏🏻 Vermittlung von Politik ist der Sauerstoff unserer Demokratie. Nur informierte Bürger*innen können sich kritisch mit Politik auseinandersetzen. Phoenix ist dort, wo es wichtig ist. Hoffentlich auch in Zukunft.

Ursula von der Leyen has made important promises today. We need to stand with the Green Deal to save our planet, to achieve independence from old and new fossil autocrats, to become a frontrunner in new technologies and global competitiveness. We will hold her to account.

The Green Deal is the first casualty of this unequal EU-US trade deal. By locking in fossil fuel imports, Europe’s climate goals are being undermined. Eager to appease Trump, the German & other national governments have drastically weakened the EU’s position.

Nur gemeinsam können wir global bestehen. Dafür muss die EU finanzieren können, was jetzt wichtig ist: 🌍 Echten Klimaschutz 🏘️ Soziale Gerechtigkeit & bezahlbares Wohnen Wie? 📱Mit EU-Steuern für Big Tech EU-Gelder müssen da hin, wo sie gebraucht werden: Bei den Menschen 💚

EPP, S&D, Renew and Greens/EFA joint statement on MFF. Leaders call for an ambitious MFF with increased genuine own resources, with rule of law conditionality, respecting Parliament’s prerogatives, and share concerns with National and Regional plans. We can't do more with less.

We want Europe to deliver for citizens: To fight against climate change 🌍 To build a truly social Europe 💪🏻 To protect our democracy 💚 This is only possible if we shape a robust EU budget for the coming years. The EU must step up her game 🇪🇺
