Sophie in 't Veld- EUtweets

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) vandaag, 11:33

Data retention and mass surveillance are the pet obsession of national governments since many years. So many sneaky attempts in the Council to circumvent #CJEU rulings. But so far no shred of evidence for its necessity or proportionality. @Europarl_EN has to be vigilant.

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) gisteren, 13:25

We just heard the story of @adriancoman and Clai.

They were courageous to bring their case of discrimination to the @EUCourtPress and they won.

A win for all #LGBTI people in Europe, IF all Member States fully apply this judgement.

De EU is een rechtsgemeenschap: daarin mogen #LHBTI rechten niet achterblijven.

Sommige lhbti’s moeten nu naar de rechter te stappen om hun rechten op te eisen. Dat is moedig, maar zou niet nodig moeten zijn als overheden discriminatie zouden aanpakken.

Volg ons live👇🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺

Not a good precedent.

What is happening to the EU Special Envoy for Freedom of Religion or Belief?

For months I asked for transparency. We need to know the selection criteria and have assurance about the commitment to all human rights, including #LGBTI rights and #SRHR

Another letter @MargSchinas

Heel blij met zijn harde werk om deze resolutie op tafel te krijgen. Nu we geconfronteerd worden met “LHBTI-vrije” zones in Polen en Hongarije moeten we ambitieuzer zijn dan ooit en handhaven! Zie mijn speech van afgelopen najaar:

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) wo 3 mrt 2021, 17:05

Collega @Pierre_Ka dient zijn resolutie in om van de EU een grote 🏳️‍🌈-vrijheidszone te maken. Volgende week stemmen!

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) wo 3 mrt 2021, 17:00

There is one European Union and we all have the same rights. No exceptions. We cannot have second class citizens in the EU. Fundamental rights are for all, that’s why we must fully enforce the rights of LGBTI people. Join our webinar tomorrow: app.livecasts.eu/enforcing­-lgbt…­

One more example 👇of UK not complying and @EU_Commission not enforcing. @Europarl_EN has to ensure it gets a real say in the implementation phase of the EU-UK agreement. Mutual trust is good. But not enough

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) wo 3 mrt 2021, 15:22

.@EP_Justice called earlier for this👇

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) wo 3 mrt 2021, 15:22

Fully agree! Adequacy Decision cannot be adopted as long as this scandalous exemption for migration policies is still in UK data protection law

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) wo 3 mrt 2021, 12:28

Good that Fidesz is no longer in @EPPGroup, but it took too long. Still several of Orbán’s allies remain. EPP has to start reflecting: do they want to go down the same path as the US Republicans, or will they clean up their house and remain a responsible centrist party?

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) wo 3 mrt 2021, 12:15

What a journey. In the 90-ies, Orban set out to fight authoritarianism. In 2000 he left the liberals and joined @EPPGroup. In 2021 he leaves again, to the extremist right. He has become what he set out to defeat.

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) wo 3 mrt 2021, 11:46

So. That’s that. #Orban is now politically homeless. Where will he go next?....

+1We zijn een jaar verder sinds ik sprak over het probleem dat de Britse politiediensten hun EU-collega’s niet informeren over reisbewegingen van criminelen.

Onderzoek van @DailyMailUK heeft de schaal van het probleem blootgelegd. Ik sprak met de krant:

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) di 2 mrt 2021, 11:47

Yet another ruling of the #CJEU exposing how the PL government is destroying the independent judiciary beyond repair. It is alarm phase red now for the rule of law in Europe. @EU_Commission @vonderleyen have to immediately apply rule of law budget conditionality @RenewEurope

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) di 2 mrt 2021, 08:22

@RemkoZuidema @s40box @Europarl_NL @eu_commissie Het @Europarl_NL kan de @EU_Commission wel degelijk naar huis sturen. maar dat is de nucleaire optie. In dit geval is een gang naar de rechter waarschijnlijk effectief genoeg.

Yes! Het @Europarl_NL sleept @eu_commissie voor het EU Hof v Justitie wegens jarenlang niet optreden als de VS wederzijdse visumvrijstelling niet erkennen voor sommige EU lidstaten. De wet mag niet wijken voor politieke overwegingen en alle EU burgers hebben gelijke rechten

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) ma 1 mrt 2021, 18:26

It took years of work, but finally @Europarl_EN has voted to take @EU_Commission to court for not acting as the US does not respect 🇪🇺🇺🇸 visa reciprocity for all Europeans. Commission has a legal obligation to act and the EU must stand up for the rights of ALL EU citizens equally

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) ma 1 mrt 2021, 11:08

Discrimination is forbidden in the European Union. It's the law, but it's not the reality for many LGBTIQ Europeans. What they need is enforcement of the laws that protect them. Join us this Thursday ⬇️🏳️‍🌈

Fidesz “Droht” Austritt aus EVP? Tolle Drohung.

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) za 27 feb 2021, 13:52

After years of standing by idly, and thereby enabling autocrats to grow stronger, some leaders are calling for the expulsion of HU and PL. Wrong. Amputation is not a remedy against authoritarian gangrene 🖋:
