Despite massive push back from the right, My Voice My Choice is moving forward and one step closer to safe & accessible abortion in all of the EU. We will continue fighting & supporting @myvoicemychoice.bsky.social until the abortion laws in the EU are harmonised.

Weakening the 2035 Combustion engine phaseout is a grave mistake that will push us backwards, create uncertainty, and slow down the green transition. Last night I told BBC News that Europe must lead on clean mobility and resist pressure from conservative politicians and fossil-fuel lobbies! 🚗

Homes for people, not for profit. The proposed revision of State aid rules for housing is a positive step, but action is also needed to limit the financialisation of housing which is driving up prices and leading to ‘renovictions’. europeangreens.eu/news/homes-f...

2025 was a year of mobilization, solidarity, hope, pride. Together in 2026, we will continue to be loud for people, planet and Europe. Will you be loud with us? youtu.be/LLxd5pcZ1no

🇱🇹 The Lithuanian people are protesting to protect their free press! ❌ We cannot allow the Lithuanian government to undermine freedom of speech and turn into the next Hungary. ✊ We stand in solidarity with everyone who is protesting to protect freedom of media in Lithuania.

As they celebrated the first day of Hanukah, the Jewish community in Sydney was brutally attacked .

This was a hateful antisemitic attack which we condemn in the strongest possible terms.

Our thoughts are with the victims, their families and the Jewish community.

The police is recommending that Mayor Karácsony be charged for supporting Budapest Pride. In the meantime, Orbán is trying to bankrupt the city. We urge the European Institutions to stand up against Viktor Orbán’s deepening authoritarianism. youtube.com/shorts/6C-yW...

"We can't choose between preventing the climate emergency and protecting the economy. We are looking forward to collaborating with the Greens for a better Europe, for a better world, for a better tomorrow." @yolandadiaz.bsky.social, from @movimientosumar.es youtube.com/shorts/f4Ei0...

Freedom of assembly is a core pillar of any democracy. We stand with Mayor Karácsony, Pécs Pride organiser Géza Buzás-Hábel, and everyone now facing criminal charges despite having committed no crime. We will continue to defend freedom against oppression.

🎉 A warm welcome to all the candidates who got elected at our Congress! And thank you to everyone who presented their candidacy for our bodies: your participation is an invaluable part of our internal democracy!

When democracy falls, human rights fall first. The courage of activists everywhere drives our fight to defend human rights. Together, we can fight for our democracies. @rasmusnordqvist.bsky.social for #HumanRightsDay2025 youtube.com/shorts/NnwdU...

People before profit: this is how we solve the housing crisis. We can't let big corporations play musical chairs with housing, making it inaccessible & unaffordable. A roof is a human right, not a privilege. 💚 With @fyeg.org, @greens-efa.eu & @partidolivre.pt youtube.com/shorts/-madj...

🎉 A warm welcome to the new Full Member of our Green family: Vesna Zelena Stranka ! 🌻 VESNA – zelena stranka has been part of the European Greens as an Associate Member for 2 years already but now they become a Full Member, representing Slovenia in the European Greens.

🌻 Congratulations to our new committee member Tomas Tomilinas from Lithuania! 💪 And thank you to all of the candidates for your dedication to our Green movement.

Europe's future lies in a faster green transition. It lies in an economy with values that protects us. We need a Europe that puts people first, not profit. @ciarancuffe.bsky.social, our co-chair at our 40th Congress youtube.com/shorts/UhWvj...

When @gruene.de were in government in Germany they gave all 18-year-olds a culture pass. Culture should be for everyone, not just the rich. The new government has abolished it, we are fighting to get back into government to bring back. 🌻 @terryreintke.bsky.social from @greens-efa.eu

"It would not have been possible for Spain to have such a strong position for Palestine if artists hadn’t been such advocates for Palestinian rights. Similarly for Ukraine when Russia invaded. Culture shapes public opinion & puts human rights at the centre." 🌻 @ernesturtasun.bsky.social

"We need to secure decent working conditions for people in the culture sector. So that they are not attacked for their expressions. So that they feel safe." 💚Agnese Lace from @progresivie.bsky.social

The flotilla mobilisation for the liberation of the Palestinian people gave us an inch of hope. We can’t lose hope for Palestinians. When we mobilise, we scare the oppressors. Get that anger, get that hope, and keep mobilising. 🌻 Benedetta Scuderi from @greens-efa.eu

We are heading towards a humanitarian catastrophe comparable to the Second World War if climate inaction continues. For that reason, social justice cannot exist without the Green transition. ❤️ Luka Mesec from @strankalevica.bsky.social

"We can't choose between preventing the climate emergency and protecting the economy. Climate justice is social justice. We are looking forward to collaborating with the Greens for a better Europe, for a better world, for a better tomorrow." 💚❤️ @yolandadiaz.bsky.social from @movimientosumar.es

We will accelerate climate action to protect people from disasters. We will defend Europe and lift each other through solidarity and promote social justice for all Together, we are loud for people, loud for the planet, loud for Europe. 🌻 @vulatsetsi.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/blwTU...

"Fighting for workers rights is part of the heritage of the European Greens, and part of our DNA. We need to promote the four day work week and we @partidolivre.pt will join the general strike next week against the right's attacks on workers rights. " 💚 @ruitavares.bsky.social

"This is a time to stand up for Europe, and stand up for European values. Housing, social justice, social protection. These are not just issues in Lisbon but for all in Europe. " 🌻 @ciarancuffe.bsky.social

"The right are not tackling people's every day struggles, they are building a bridge to bring the far right into power. Manfred Weber broke his commitment & is working with the far right. It is our duty to team up with progressives to keep democracy." @vulatsetsi.bsky.social

What a great beginning of our 40th Congress, in Lisbon! Full room yesterday evening for @benedettademarte.bsky.social & @melanievogel.bsky.social, presenting our candidates for our various governing bodies. Today will be even more exciting!

This is our first congress in Portugal & we are delighted to be welcomed by our member parties: 💚 @isabelmendeslopes.bsky.social from @partidolivre.pt 🌻 Maria José Vieira from Os Verdes These are the strong women behind the fight against the climate & housing crises here in Portugal.

Our 40th party congress has started. We have a very packed programme for this weekend, loud for people, planet and Europe! europeangreens.eu/40th-europea...

Welcome to the 40th European Green Party Congress! We are in Lisbon this year, together with Green parties from all over Europe to celebrate our successes, learn from our losses and discuss the path forwards. 5-7 December 2025 in Lisbon. 🔴 Join us live on 6/12 at 9 am (GMT).

👏 We must continue to be loud for people, for the planet and for Europe. Our 40th Congress is happening this weekend, 5-7 December 2025 in Lisbon. 🔴 Join us live on Saturday 6 December from 9 am (GMT). 💚📢 Stay loud.

This weekend our Co-Chair @vulatsetsi.bsky.social and committee members were in Hannover for some inspirational green energy with @gruene.de 💚 Loudly they said: “Climate, Climate, Climate” and we couldn’t agree more!

🌻 We are so proud of our 5 Green mayors of EU capital cities as they show the way for all cities in their countries and in Europe. 💚 Local elections have the most direct impact on our day-to-day. It starts at the local level and then spreads to national.

🇪🇺 If you are married in one EU country, your union should still be recognised across all EU countries. This is what the European Court of Justice ruled this Tuesday. 🟰 Equal love, equal treatment, equal rights, no matter the genders involved in the union.

😢 Why are we forced to pick between cheap & polluting and expensive & sustainable? ✈️ Airplanes: subsidies & MASSIVE tax breaks. 🚄 Trains: tax on energy, VAT on international travel & high track access costs. 💚 Low emissions & low cost should be the priority.

Every 11 minutes, a woman is killed somewhere in the world. Women must be protected against gender-based violence & this is what the Istanbul Convention does. 🇪🇺 Five EU member states have yet to ratify it: Bulgaria, the Czechia, Hungary, Lithuania & Slovakia.

COP30 ended without a global commitment to phase out fossil fuels but with a commitment to triple international funding for climate adaptation. We can’t address emissions without tackling them at source. The EU must remain leaders in climate action.

🏡 Moving out of your parents’ house: a delayed dream in 2025. The average age of young adults leaving the parental house is 26.4 in the EU, with a decade between Croatia & Sweden. 🧐 How can we fix this? Higher minimum wage. Renovating houses. Lower energy bills.

On my way to to Madrid today for a busy weekend 🩷 Speaking at @movimientosumar.es political conference and @europeangreens.eu panel on housing 🏠 with @gordanbosanac.bsky.social, @marglezbaez.bsky.social, @alejandrajacinto.bsky.social and more! Watch live: www.youtube.com/@sumar_ofici...

EU Housing Advisory Board’s report dropped today. Some solid proposals: 🏘️ Promote Cost Rental model 💶 'Site Value' Taxes 📖 Amend State aid rules 🌵 Limit speculation 🏡 Better, not less planning Now, let’s act housing.ec.europa.eu/news/commiss...

🏳️‍⚧️ Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance (#TDOR) & we honour the trans people who lost their lives to violence. 💚Trans rights are under threat in many countries, with the rise of conservative ideologies. 💪We need to stand strong together & fight for each other.

🌻 Meet the women fighting climate change! The climate crisis disproportionally affects women. And yet they are still underrepresented in leadership. Last year, only 34% of delegates at COP29 were women. This year, we’re looking at about 40%.

👏 Congratulations to @sissemariewe.bsky.social who was just elected as the new mayor of Copenhagen. 💚Congratulations to all of the SF members re-elected or newly elected and for the incredible 17.9% of votes across the country. 🌻Denmark’s people and nature will have a Greener future.

There is a frightening increase in deaths by suicide, especially among men. They are 3.7 times more likely than women to end their lives. We need to continue to make societal changes across Europe, to create safe & affordable spaces. Mental health is political.

🌻 Congrats to Urša Zgojznik & Uroš Macerl on being re-elected as co-chairs of Vesna Zelena Stranka and to Jaka Zevnik & Barbara Strajnar on being elected vice-chairs! Together, they will fight to offer the people of Slovenia a Greener & fairer future.

➡️ Women are paid 13% less than men. ➡️ They also are less likely to be in the top jobs. 💪 No pay discrimination based on gender (or anything else!) . 👏 This starts with implementing the pay transparency directive that was initiated by @greens-efa.eu back in 2022.

We strongly condemn today’s vote in the European Parliament, where the @eppgroup.bsky.social aligned itself with far-right groups to weaken Europe’s social rights and environmental protections of the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). europeangreens.eu/news/greens-...

👏 A minimum wage should be a living wage! 🇪🇺 The EU directive for minimum wage was just upheld by the European Court of Justice. This means: • 20% increase in wages for 25 million workers • 10% drop in the rate of poverty for people who are working

Keeping a roof over our heads is getting expensive. This affects everything: the cost of living expensive, savings & creates stress about making ends meet. The next generation depends on us to fight the housing crisis. 🇪🇺 The EU must step up and tackle this.
