The fragile ceasefire can't divert attention from the urgent need for accountability for war crimes committed by the Israeli army in Gaza & the West Bank. @vulatsetsi.bsky.social & @ciarancuffe.bsky.social heard first hand from a soldier from Break the Silence how the IDF dehumanizes Palestinians.

🇱🇻There is still time to fight for women's rights! Thanks to pressure from the people of Latvia, withdrawing from the Istanbul Convention is not yet finalised. Together with @ciarancuffe.bsky.social & @progresivie.lv we stand with the protesters. youtube.com/shorts/xrNT9...

Right-wing and EPP ministers in the EU Council chose to shift billions in investment outside the EU, rather than investing in climate action inside Europe. 💚 We Greens will continue to push the EU to be the climate champion.

Together with our co-chairs @vulatsetsi.bsky.social & @ciarancuffe.bsky.social, we congratulate Zohran Mamdani on his historic victory as Mayor of New York, and denounces the threats of US president Donald Trump. europeangreens.eu/news/from-ne...

🎉 New York City just elected their most progressive Mayor in history! Congrats to @ZohranKMamdani who won the mayoral elections in NYC, by promising to make the city a more affordable city for the working class. A strong voice for human & social rights & a politician who listens to its people.

The next step to make abortion safe & accessible in the EU is happening! On Wednesday, the FEMM Committee votes on @myvoicemychoice.bsky.social. Will they stand for safe & legal abortion in the EU, or will they let women suffer because of restrictive bans?

Every minute spent convincing climate deniers costs one life. Millions die each year because we’ve failed to tackle the climate crisis: from floods, wildfires, and toxic air to deadly heatwaves and diseases. We urge the EU: stand firm at COP30. Don’t bow to fossil fuel giants.

1 year since 16 people died in a rooftop collapse in Novi Sad caused by government negligence & corruption. We support the protesters’ demands. We call for the release of all political prisoners. We must stand strong against those who threaten freedom. youtube.com/shorts/aTPTk...

Women's rights are under attack in Latvia. We condemn the rollbacks taking place, and stand with our member party @progresivie.bsky.social in their fight for women's rights.

❗The scandal around breast cancer screenings in Andalusia is shocking. Under the right-wing PP government, results were never communicated to at least 2,300 women. I stand with @verdesequo.es co-leader Mar González & the thousands demanding transparency & accountability across Andalusia.

🎃 Let’s give the far-right nightmares this Halloween! P.S.: The last slide is the scariest. Trigger warning: the following images may be disturbing to fascists.

❤️ Great meeting with Yolanda Díaz, Ernest Urtasun & Lara Hernández of @movimientosumar.es today in Madrid! ❗More than ever, we need transnational alliances in the fight for a green & social Europe. 🇪🇺 The task of the EU is clear: invest in people & planet.

Georgia’s ruling Georgian Dream party announced that they will try to ban 3 major pro-European opposition parties through the Constitutional Court: UNM (EPP), Ahali & Lelo (ALDE). It is high time for EU sanctions on Georgian Dream officials and state representatives!

One year of peaceful protests in Serbia: Europe must stand with the people demanding truth and justice. On 1 November 2024, the canopy of Novi Sad’s railway station collapsed, killing 16 people. Read more from @vulatsetsi.bsky.social & @ciarancuffe.bsky.social europeangreens.eu/news/one-yea...

👏 Only 👏 yes 👏 means 👏 yes👏 🇫🇷France just altered the legal definition of rape: without explicit consent, it’s rape. 🎉 It is an incredible accomplishment @mcgarin.bsky.social & @melanievogel.bsky.social (from @lesecologistes.fr) & the relentless work of the feminist associations and activists.

Thousands have already lost their lives in the past 2 years, the ceasefire must hold to avoid more death & destruction. We condemn the civilian deaths and urge all parties to uphold the ceasefire agreement. Enough is enough.

1 year since the devastating floods in València. We stand with the people of València. The climate crisis is here & politicians must do all they can to protect the people they serve. No more climate deniers in the València government. Mazón - dimissió/resign! youtube.com/shorts/nzSmc...

🇳🇱 Good luck to @groenlinks-pvda.bsky.social for the elections. We need to tackle the climate crisis and fight social injustice. Only a strong Green agenda can tackle people’s everyday concerns and stop the far right. 🗳️ Dear Dutch friends, go vote on Wednesday 29 October.

Over 50,000 people marched in Valencia this weekend, still angry about the 229 people who died during the floods last year. These deaths could have been avoided if the regional government had done their job. We call for justice & accountability. #MazónDimissió

Climate hero of the day: 🇳🇱 @suzannekroger.bsky.social (@groenlinks-pvda.bsky.social) 💥Ending fossil fuel subsidies & new fossil projects 🏠Insulating homes to cut bills 🚆 Pushing for better trains From activist to MP: always fighting for climate. 🗳️ Vote for a greener future on 29/10.

Sunday marks the 1-year anniversary of the fraudulent 2024 parliamentary elections in Georgia. Despite intimidation and violence from the authoritarian government, peaceful protesters take to the streets every day, demanding democracy & free elections. europeangreens.eu/news/one-yea...

🇬🇪💪 This is the fight of the Georgian people for freedom from corruption & authoritarianism. Almost a year since the pro-Russian party consolidated its authoritarian power through fraudulent elections. 💚 We stand with the protestors against the increasing authoritarianism.

Another tragedy at sea: at least 40 migrants have died off the coast of Tunisia. Tunisia is becoming a deadly bottleneck while European immigration policy waits. Safe-routes and legal channels to escape deadly conflicts must be put in place. www.reuters.com/world/africa...

We want action. And we want it now. The EU leaders have the power in their hands but they keep bowing to the right wingers amongst them. The EU needs to stop bowing to fossil fuel giants and climate deniers. We can’t backtrack on climate ambition.

🎉140,000 members for @greenparty.org.uk ! By the time you read this, this number may have changed already. Hope is spreading over England & Wales, overtaking the Conservatives, coming for Reform & Labour next. Join the movement, join a green party near you! europeangreens.eu/join

Clearly, big companies need to prevent violations of social rights and the environment throughout their supply chains. That is why we applaud that the @europarl.europa.eu rejected the @eppgroup.bsky.social's attempt to weaken the supply chain law. Read more here: europeangreens.eu/news/green-d...

💚Energy-efficient buildings 💚Cities safer for cycling 💚More green spaces & biodiversity ➡️This is what all cities in the Netherlands & Europe deserve. 🗳️ Dear Dutch friends, go vote on Wednesday 29 October. 🌻 Good luck to @groenlinks-pvda.bsky.social for the elections!

🚨Breaking news: Congratulations to the imprisoned journalists Andrzej Poczobut from Belarus and Mzia Amaglobeli from Georgia just won the #sakharovprize for Freedom of Thought, awarded by @europarl.europa.eu! 💪 Fighting for freedom of speech must be defended in all of Europe.

EU leaders will decide this week at #EUCO whether or not they finally take #ClimateAction seriously. Every year, storms hit harder, droughts last longer, floods reach further and more lives are at risk. We need leaders who can turn the promises of the Paris Agreement into action. No more delay!

2178 scientists say it loud & clear: climate neutrality is Europe’s greatest economic opportunity. Delaying climate action will cost lives, livelihoods & Europe's competitiveness. EU leaders must set the climate ambitions high ahead of COP30. zenodo.org/records/1739...

🌻 Congrats to @amandalindmp.bsky.social & Daniel Helldén on being re-elected as @miljopartiet.bsky.social leaders! 🗳️ This comes ahead of a crucial election to replace Sweden’s anti-ecological, anti-social government! 💚Best of luck making Sweden & Europe greener & fairer!

🌻Congrats to @galkiewicz.bsky.social & Michał Suchora on being elected as the new co-chairsleaders of @zielonipl.bsky.social. 💚✊ They will keep fighting for people, animals, the environment, democracy & social justice. 💚Thank you to the outgoing leaders Urszula Zielińska & Przemysław Słowik.

These EU leaders have the power to make our future free from climate disasters. And they are meeting this week to discuss just that. We ask that they do not bow to fossil fuel giants and climate deniers. No more broken promises, no more excuses. #ClimateActionNow

😱 Almost 50% of the EU had difficulty to make ends meet in 2023, & more than ¼ was below the poverty threshold. 10% wasn’t able to keep their homes warm. ❌ Eradicating poverty starts at by increasing taxes on big polluters, multinationals and the ultra-rich. #EndPoverty

📈The cost of living is increasing but our salaries aren’t. 🧐 A liveable wage should be able to cover for all of the basics plus a little bit of extra. ❌And the cost of housing shouldn’t be so high that it uses up close to half your income.

Von der Leyen’s visit to Vučić sends the wrong signal: the EU must stand with Serbia’s citizens, not its autocrat. Read more from @vulatsetsi.bsky.social & @ciarancuffe.bsky.social here: europeangreens.eu/news/von-der...

The EU is on track to do its part to protect the climate by 2050 but we can’t stop pushing for it! 🇪🇺 Next week, the European Council is discussing climate targets that they will bring at COP30. We urge them to make them ambitious. To protect the climate is to protect Europe.

🪸 The planet is on the brink of its first catastrophic climate tipping point. This will translate into more floods, droughts, heatwaves and wildfires in our backyards. 🇪🇺 We urge the EU leaders to be ambitious in their climate targets. 🚨There is no time to waste.

👋 We’re #hiring: Office Assistant! If you are passionate about Europe and politics and you have administrative and organisational skills, we’d love to hear from you! 📩 More info on our website👇 europeangreens.eu/job-opportun...

President Vučić has been repressing protestors, including using violence, for almost a year. Tomorrow, President Von der Leyen is visiting Serbia. We fear that President Vučić will use her visit to claim that he has the support of European partners. We must not reward autocrats.

We welcome the agreement to hopefully end the genocide, allow hostages & detainees to return home, and allow humanitarian aid to flow in to Gaza. The EU and national governments must reflect on their shameful inaction & ensure that the humanitarian situation in Gaza is improved.

🧠 It's no secret, the political situation has a major impact on mental health. ✊ Let’s push for better mental health for all by fighting its external causes. 👉🏾 It’s fighting against social inequality. 💚 Against the climate crisis. 💪 For human rights. #worldmentalhealthday

Are you just as annoyed as we are on the right wing madness trying to ban our #veggieburgers? (And hiding the fact that they want farmers to be paid less?) Here is exactly how Members of the European Parliament voted on it yesterday 👇

🚨 La flottille Thousand Madleens a été interceptée cette nuit par des forces de l'occupation israélienne. Parmi les 150 personnes kidnappées illégalement en eaux internationales, se trouve notamment Mélissa Camara. Interpellez le gouvernement !

🏡 On this first ever #WorldVacantHomesDay, we highlight one of the biggest contradictions of our time: too many homes without people, too many people without homes. 🇪🇺 EU countries must prioritise renovating & reallocating vacant houses for social housing.

🚨 La députée écologiste @benelinard.bsky.social et plusieurs autres Belges sont actuellement détenus par les autorités israéliennes. ✍️ Écrivez dès maintenant à l’ambassadrice d'Israel en Belgique pour exiger leur libération : actionnetwork.org/letters/dema...

Another year of destruction and devastation. We mourn all of the victims of, and since, October 7. The suffering grows. Stop the genocide. Free the hostages. Humanity, justice, and peace now.

Unfortunately, the other big winners of the Czech elections are the populists & far-right, with multiple right-wing populist parties increasing their support. All democratic political forces must ensure sustained, serious scrutiny of the next government, to avoid another Viktor Orbán situation.

🎉 GREEN WIN! The Czech Greens (@zeleni.cz) are back in the Parliament for the first time since 2010! Congrats to Gabriela Svárovská & Irena Ferčíková Konec. 💚 They will fight for greener & fairer solutions for the people of Czechia & we can’t wait to see it!

👀Looking for last minute ideas for the climate march this Sunday? We’ve got you covered! 💪We can’t stop fighting for climate, we can’t stop demanding change, we can’t stop marching. 🪧We will be marching on Sunday 5 October in Brussels, together with @ecolo.be & @groenbe.bsky.social.
