Full solidarity with the Iranian people, showing immense bravery by taking to the streets to demand freedom, rights, and a better future. The response of the Iranian government is once again shameful: brutal repression and internet blackouts to silence its people‘s voices.

We urge @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu to deliver a bigger and stronger Multiannual Financial Framework-post 2027. A genuine system of new own resources and joint borrowing that can address the challenges facing Europeans with no cuts in social spending.

I want to send a message to Hungary’s LGBTIQ+ community: you are not alone. When you are under pressure from the government, we will always support you ✊🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 Read our press release here ⬇️

Simplification cannot mean deregulation. Today, we @socialistsanddemocrats.eu have voted against the request for the urgent procedure on the so-called “stop-the-clock” that delays the implementation of agreed legislation on due diligence and corporate reporting requirements. Read more here ⬇️

Only one day after the legislative initiative was proposed, the Hungarian 🇭🇺 Parliament voted in favour of a nationwide ban on prides 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️. I am shocked and deeply concerned by the adoption of this amendment. It is yet another dangerous step towards autocracy in Hungary.

The European Parliament is sending a clear message: Europe’s industry must protect and engage workers. Today, the S&Ds managed to block increasingly aggressive attacks on social Europe. @gabischoff.bsky.social www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu/newsroom/eur...

EPP has once again chosen to align with the far right - this time to undermine 🇪🇺 Parliament’s long-standing call for a dedicated budget of at least €20 billion for the EU Child Guarantee. That’s a scandal! Read more here 👉 socialistsanddemocrats.eu/newsroom/sds...

Last week I was invited to the talk show “Bruxelles je t’aime?” on @euronewsfr.bsky.social to talk about European Security, the Transatlantic relationship and Ukraine. Watch the full episode here 👉 fr.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

Yes we can end HIV AIDS by 2030👍

We stand with the People of Ukraine and their President Zelenskyy! 🇪🇺❤️🇺🇦

S&D Group on Omnibus package: “Simplification of EU legislation must not endanger existing achievements for businesses and citizens.” Read full statement from @gabischoff.bsky.social & @larawolters.bsky.social here: www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu/newsroom/sds...

Today we enter the fourth year of Russia’s war on Ukraine. Peace and security for Ukraine is a matter of security for the entire European continent. Therefore, 🇺🇦 & 🇪🇺 must sit at the negotiation table! Ukraine and Europe want peace, but any peace agreement has to be comprehensive, just and lasting.

“The 🇪🇺 commission does not have the luxury of picking and choosing which fundamental rights to uphold. It has a duty to act, to lead, and to stand firm against reactionary forces. Capitulating to obstruction is not leadership; it is failure.“ Read my op-ed here 👇

The European Commission withdraws the Anti-Discrimination Directive. This is a disgrace for Europe, a betrayal of our democratic value and an insult to millions of our citizens who face discrimination in their daily life! Today, the Commission has capitulated to populism. Read more here👇

More than 200 million girls & women alive today have undergone #FGM. We must put an end to this harmful practice by coordinating efforts, engaging whole communities and focussing on human rights, gender equality, sexual education & the needs of women & girls who suffer from its consequences. #endFGM

Inauguration officielle du centre de visiteurs EUROPA EXPERIENCE au Parlement européen 🇪🇺 au Luxembourg 🇱🇺 La visite vaut le détour! visiting.europarl.europa.eu/fr/visitor-o...

Le nouveau plan de la Commission européenne pour une plus grande compétitivité de nos entreprises se veut en faveur d’une Europe plus innovante, autonome et durable, mais elle ne doit pas servir de prétexte à une dérégulation massive au profit des grandes entreprises.

Today I had the honour to host an event on the EU Youth Check & how the 🇪🇺 Parliament can support youth mainstreaming. Last year the 🇪🇺 Commission promised to implement a Youth Check to deepen the dimension of youth policies and assess the impact of new legislative proposals on young people in the EU.

The shrinking of working-age population & labour shortages poses great risk on many levels but if tackled in the right way, demographic trends can strengthen Europe’s resilience.

Défendre le #DigitalServicesAct c’est défendre toutes les réglementations européennes, comme le règlement général sur la protection des données (RGPD) et le Digital Markets Act. Il faut se battre pied à pied. Soit on se bat, soit on plie devant les Chinois, Elon Musk et consorts.

La législation sur le salaire minimum fait actuellement l’objet d’objections de la part de certains États membres, poussant la Cour de justice de l’Union européenne à se saisir du dossier. Abandonner cette directive serait une défaite pour l’Europe sociale! Lisez la suite ici ⬇️

I am quitting X. The platform has become a space where racism & far-right ideas are tolerated & trivialised. This development has nothing to do with freedom of speech. E. Musk is making his platform the home of hate and discrimination. And that‘s not my home! Hello Bluesky!
