“An indignity entirely of the EU’s own making" Today, the EU shamefully ignores the UN deadline to present climate targets. What a dangerous, irresponsible precedent to set. Climate change is already here. The EU must show up to #COP30 with ambitious targets. www.politico.eu/article/euro...

The majority of EU member states now recognise the state of Palestine. An important step, but recognition alone will not stop the genocide. We will keep saying it until it becomes reality: we need sanctions, arms embargo and to suspend of the EU–Israel Association Agreement. Now! (📷 Le Monde)

It's dangerous and frankly embarrassing that the EU could miss the UN deadline for submitting climate goals. Remember last week when @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu said 'we must stay the course on our climate and environmental goals'? We need ambitious climate targets, now!

We continue to condemn police brutality and unlawful arrests in Serbia. Solidarity with Bogdan Jovičić, on day 7 of a hunger strike and month 2 of his detention after protesting in Novi Sad. The EU must make clear that repression and rights violations are incompatible with Serbia's EU path!

EU member states must recognise the state of Palestine. There are 142 out of 193 UN members who now call for international recognition. We can’t have a two-state solution without two official states.

The UN officially classified the situation in Gaza as a genocide. At the same time, Israel keeps bombing and forcing the Palestinians out of what is left of their homes. We need the EU to act, stronger sanctions are needed immediately. This must end.

A UN commission of inquiry has ruled: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. And in the face of a genocide - inaction is complicity. The EU has a responsibility to act: 🇵🇸Full suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement 🇵🇸Full weapons embargo and sanctions 🇵🇸Recognise the state of Palestine

I am relieved that my colleague Dmitry Kuchuk was released from prison in Belarus yesterday, with 51 others. Together with @liberecophr.bsky.social l, I became Dmitry's political godparent. However, over 1000 remain behind bars, and Europe must not ease up the pressure on Lukashenko's regime

President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu must act with political coherence. The EU must stand with Ukraine, Gaza, and Serbia, invest boldly in the Green Deal, stop teaming up with the far right, and defend EU values everywhere. Full reaction: europeangreens.eu/news/eu-at-a... #soteu2025

Response of @vulatsetsi.bsky.social & @ciarancuffe.bsky.social (Co-Chairs of the European Green Party) to President von der Leyen’s 5th State of the Union speech: europeangreens.eu/news/eu-at-a...

The people of Serbia deserve justice and the full support of the EU. Together with @greens-efa.eu we are pushing the European Institutions to take action. We will not be silenced by threats and insults. We stand strong in support of the people of Serbia.

Today, Russian drones violated Polish airspace. This is a shocking violation of EU sovereignty & shows that our eastern border states are especially vulnerable to Russian aggression. We must stand strong & united against attacks from Russia. Our full solidarity is with Poland.

Serbia's President Vučić has been escalating his violent repression of Serbia’s people. It's high time that Manfred Weber and the EPP admit that they have an autocrat within their ranks, and hold him to account. Serbia belongs in the EU.

The people of Serbia have been under attack for years. Vučić’s regime is oppressing not only the people protesting but also the media and all political forces that stands against him. Video: co-chair @vulatsetsi.bsky.social & committee member @rasmusnordqvist.bsky.social MEP from @greens-efa.eu .

The people of Serbia have known for a long time that Vučić is an autocrat, and so have we and our member party ZLF. It’s about time Manfred Weber and @eppgroup.bsky.social are finally acknowledging the problem, and are 'starting a scrutiny process’. We @europeangreens.eu will hold him to his word!

Vučić calling us 'European Scum' will not deter us. We reiterate our call for the European Commission, the European Parliament, and Council to address the situation in Serbia. We are bringing this fight to the European Parliament. We stand with the people of Serbia.

Vučić’s threats will not deter us! 🇷🇸 What we witnessed yesterday is the authoritarianism that Serbian citizens face daily. Our solidarity is with them, their courage in defending democracy deserves support, not hostility. Full statement: t.co/eBcEv0ADW3

"The situation in Serbia cannot be treated as business as usual. The EU must firmly demand an end to violence against civilians and journalists, and insist on early, free, and fair elections.” - @vulatsetsi.bsky.social, our co-chair

We are with the students of Serbia who stand for democracy, against autocracy and police repression. Twice university officials have let police in to remove the students, twice freedom of expression has been curtailed. 🌻 @vulatsetsi.bsky.social @rasmusnordqvist.bsky.social

🌻Congrats to @zackpolanski.bsky.social i on being elected new leader of @greenparty.org.uk. Under Zack's leadership, @greenparty.org.uk will continue to represent marginalised voices & our environment. 💚Thank you to the outgoing leaders @carladenyer.bsky.social & @adrianramsay.bsky.social

🌻Congrats to the new co-leaders of the @scottishgreens.org : @gillianmacmsp.bsky.social & @ross-greer.bsky.social. Together, they will keep fighting for social and economic equality, fairness and a more sustainable future.

Yesterday, Israel bombed Nasser Hospital, senselessly murdering innocent civilians, doctors, and journalists. The EU 'condemns' the killing, but words won't stop this genocide. Only action will. Aid, arms embargo, sanctions and move to recognise the state of Palestine. Now.

Digital-Diktat von Trump: Trotz des jüngsten Kniefalls der EU droht der US-Präsident jetzt mit neuen Zöllen, wenn wir es wagen, die US-Tech-Giganten zu regulieren oder zu besteuern. Wir dürfen uns aber den Schutz der Demokratie und des fairen Wettbewerbs nicht verbieten lassen!

Is Airbnb helping or hurting local residents in touristic areas? 🏠☀️ Over-tourism is a major contributor to the housing crisis in many parts of Europe and has sparked mass protests in cities like Barcelona. My comments with @euronews.com www.instagram.com/share/_lztrJ...

The Middle East conflict's cost in lives lost is obscene. The climate cost of today's wars is also horrendous. coveringclimatenow.org/from-us-stor...

More devastating acts of violence from the extremist Israeli government. ‣ Approved a new settlement in the West Bank. ‣ Began the ground invasion of Gaza City, home to over 1 million Palestinians. This is genocide. When will the EU take action?

Netanyahu announced full occupation of Gaza — while people starve, are displaced and killed. This is genocide. EU must act now: - Impose a full arms embargo - Suspend the EU-Israel Agreement - Move to recognise Palestine Stop the war. Ceasefire and humanitarian aid — now!

Netanyahu wants full occupation of Gaza while people starve. This is not security, it’s a massacre. The EU must act now: full arms embargo, suspend EU-Israel Agreement, recognize Palestine. Act now. Stop the war. Ceasefire. Unlimited humanitarian aid. #StopArmingIsrael #CeasefireNow #Gaza

Police questioning of Budapest Mayor Karácsony over the Pride March raises serious concerns about political intimidation in Hungary. President @vonderleyen must stand up to Orbán’s authoritarism and defend the EU’s democratic values.

🇪🇺🇺🇸 The new deal EU-US trade deal hands Trump a win and undermines the Green Deal. The EU cannot preach climate leadership whilst committing to years of dirty, subsidised US LNG. Europe can’t fight climate chaos with American fossil fuels. Next battle: protect our market sovereignty and standards.

I am devastated that my country, Greece, is on fire yet again. Multiple fires are blazing across the country and in neighbouring Turkey, after temperatures reached 42.4°C on Sunday. Homes and forests have been destroyed, and people forced to flee their villages.

Our demands are clear. The EU must stop the slaughter of civilians. We must act #now against Netanyahu, his government and the Israeli military who are starving the people of Gaza.

The worst wildfire in Cyprus in 50 years. This is what the climate emergency looks like. At least 13 people dead, dozens injured, and hundreds displaced in Cyprus and Turkey. I send my condolences to the victims and their families. The cause?

👏Countries now have a legal obligation to protect the planet: this is what the International Court of Justice decided yesterday. It confirmed what we already knew: failure to protect the planet from greenhouse gas emissions (& fossil fuel) is an international wrongful act.

BREAKING 🚨 The ICJ has ruled that government actions driving climate change are ILLEGAL. States are legally bound to reduce emissions and compensate vulnerable nations. Climate Change is an “Existential Threat of Planetary Proportions” This is huge. Will the world finally wake up?

#BREAKING International Court of Justice issues a ground-breaking judgement affirming legal obligations on States to take action on climate. #ICJ #ClimateJustice Live stream here: go.icj-cij.org/4f3KGgM

The horrors in Gaza are unbearable. Yesterday, 28 countries demanded an end to Israel’s mass killing & starvation, yet some EU member states remain silent. Their complicity is shameful, as is that of the EU institutions. Where is @kajakallas.bsky.social? We must act to stop Israel, now.

What can we do about the housing crisis? 🏠Invest in affordable housing to lower rents ⚡️Renovate homes to lower energy bills 🚃Improve public transport to make commuting more affordable

🌻 Greens are standing with them together with ‪‪@liberecophr.bsky.social and their #WeStandBYyou campaign. Our co-chair @vulatsetsi.bsky.social is a ‘godmother’ to Dzmitry Kuchuk, the former chair of the Belarusian Green Party, detained for participating in a peaceful protest.

🇧🇾 There are more than 1,100 political prisoners in Belarus right now. They are being detained for defending democracy, the rule of law and human rights. Those are not crimes, they are freedom of speech.

Vula Tsetsi @vulatsetsi.bsky.social Co-Chair of the @europeangreens.eu said: We condemn the police violence and the repression of political opponents. The people of #Serbia deserve a future free from fear, corruption, and abuse of power #Belgrade #Vucic europeangreens.eu/news/serbia-...

This week I was in Strasbourg remembering friend, colleague and pathfinder Alex Langer, after 30 years without him 💚 Abbiate cura. Degli altri, della Terra, del tempo. Abbiate cura di ciò che cresce lentamente. E camminate. Non da soli, ma insieme. Più lentamente, più in profondità, più dolcemente

1) The world was watching when Siarhei Tsikhanouski was released from prison last month and was reunited with his wife Sviatlana. But more than 1,000 political prisoners remain behind bars in Belarus. Amongst them is my colleague Dzmitry Kuchuk, the former chair of the Belarusian Green Party.

The report on the EU 2040 climate target is now in the hands of the far right…. Holy F! That should be a wake-up call for all pro-European forces in this Parliament. If we want to save the 2040 target from climate deniers, we need the urgency procedure NOW! #2040target

Always a pleasure meeting with the Danish Greens party leader Pia Olsen Dyhr, with @vulatsetsi.bsky.social, @ciarancuffe.bsky.social & @benedettademarte.bsky.social Amongst many topics discussed: 🇩🇰Danish EU Council Presidency 📍Upcoming local elections 🇪🇺Wide common vision of the future of Europe

We’re heading into one of the hottest Junes ever recorded. The climate crisis is no longer a future threat – it’s our reality. I just hope the people who put this proposal on the table are sitting in air-conditioned rooms – because outside, people are suffering the consequences

🎉 Congrats to @lgewessler.bsky.social on being elected as @gruene.at's new party leader!   🌻 She was instrumental in the final adoption of the Nature Restoration Law & is the queen behind the #KlimaTicket!   💚  Looking forward to continuing our fight for a Greener Europe together!
