The emergency measures presented by @EU_Commission create a legal fiction.

Redirecting people to apply for asylum at Belarusian border crossing points, while this is in practice not possible, is not 'compliant with human rights' but de facto endorses current pushback practices.

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) gisteren, 15:53

In plaats van te waarborgen dat het EU-recht wordt nageleefd, lijkt de Commissie het terugsturen van asielzoekers te accepteren in nieuwe noodwetgeving.­
Onacceptabel,­ de EU moet het recht op asiel ten alle tijden beschermen.

Onafhankelijke media zijn van cruciaal belang voor een gezonde democratie. Zorgwekkend dat Polen, Hongarije en Slovenië de mediavrijheid steeds verder inperken.
Goed dat de Europese Commissie volgend jaar met nieuwe wetgeving komt om dit te verbieden.

@eubih @OliverVarhelyi But let’s see what will be on the table. I hope I will be positively surprised.

+1Together with MEPs of the four largest political groups in the EP, I sent a letter to EU Ministers following last weeks disappointing Foreign Affairs Council, calling on the EU to sanction Dodik. The EU has the obligation to firmly protect Dayton and BiH's territorial integrity.

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) do 25 nov 2021, 22:43

@eubih @OliverVarhelyi So this is what a Fidesz Commissioner means in practice: appeasing autocrats instead of firmly defending democracy and EU values.

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) do 25 nov 2021, 22:21

@eubih @OliverVarhelyi So Dodik threats to destroy the country and is now rewarded with state property and the freedom to deny genocide. Not the recommended way to raise a child.

The Rule of Law crises in Poland & Hungary taught 🇪🇺 to intervene fast if we want to uphold values in the Union.

In Slovenia the RoL functions, but is under direct threat from president Janša. I hope new elections will bring change, but let's watch Janša closely in the meantime.

My condolences to the families of the drowned people. This should not be possible near Europe’s borders.

Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya addresses the Parliament. Belarussian people increasingly suffer harsh repression from Lukashenka, but meanwhile EU remains hesitant to impose effective sanctions, and time goes by. ‘The EU must finally walk the walk, for freedom and dignity.’

During my visit to BiH, I’ve talked to citizens to gather their insights on how to solve the current political crisis.

Read my impressions of the visit in my blog: tinekestrik.eu/blog/my-vis­it-…­ (3/3)

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) wo 24 nov 2021, 11:44

It is not too late for Europe to change course, but we should not waste any more time with finding solutions through people who are the problem, by which we'll only cement the ethnical divisions in the country. (2/3)

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) wo 24 nov 2021, 11:44

Today, the Dayton peace agreement that ended the war in the Balkans in ’95 is under huge pressure.

Europe has a choice: cave for the pressure of ethno-nationalistic leaders and dismantle any hope of a democratic future or protect the peace and counter Dodik with sanctions. (1/3)

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) di 23 nov 2021, 22:10

My condolences for the families and friends of the victims of the terrible bus accident in Bulgaria, and my wishes for a speedy recovery to the injured. All support for the authorities of North Macedonia and Bulgaria at this tragic time.

Plenary debate on situation Belarus:

"The best way to discourage the instrumentalisation of people is a functioning asylum system. Biggest mistake would be to normalise pushbacks - that would mean that our commitment to the Refugee Convention doesn't stand this temporary test."

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) di 23 nov 2021, 19:29

There is only one language that autocrats like Dodik will listen to: sanctions.

Following my visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina 10 days ago, and the Foreign Affairs Council last week, I wrote the following op-ed with a clear call towards EU Ministers.

De Europese Commissie komt met noodwetgeving in reactie op de crisis aan de grens met Belarus.
Deze wetgeving zou erop gericht moeten zijn dat mensen asiel kunnen aanvragen zonder op illegale wijze te worden uitgezet, zoals nu gebeurt.

Documentary ‘Judges under pressure’ confirms that the Commission must not grant EU money to the Polish government, even if it would dismantle the Disciplinary Chamber. The rule of law and judiciary remain under huge pressure. Awarding the government would be a historical mistake

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) za 20 nov 2021, 16:12

So impressed by the documentary Judges under pressure, but even more by the courage of the Polish judges, persistently fighting for the rule of law

Dutch journalist @IBeugel is forced to leave Greece after having criticised pushbacks.
Tomorrow, 23 people are brought to trial for having rescued and helped migrants left alone by the Greek authorities. @EU_Commission when is your red line crossed, when will you sanction Greece?

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) wo 17 nov 2021, 11:01

Schandalig hoe journaliste @IBeugel wordt bedreigd door het stellen van kritische vragen over pushbacks.
De @EU_Commission en @MinPres moeten het gedrag van de Griekse premier veroordelen en ervoor zorgen dat journalisten veilig hun werk kunnen doen.

Wat wij voorstellen?
👉 Keiharde economische sancties voor Loekasjenko
👉 Onmiddellijk toelaten van hulpverleners in crisisgebieden voor eten, drinken, medische hulp etc.
👉 Snelle asielprocedures aan de grenzen en eerlijke verdeling van vluchtelingen over lidstaten

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) di 16 nov 2021, 17:12

De situatie aan de grens tussen Polen en Belarus wordt met de dag afgrijselijker. Hier moet nu worden ingegrepen, voor er meer doden en gewonden vallen. Europa kan en mag dit niet laten gebeuren. (1/2) ⤵

We hebben Bosnië-Herzegovina 26 jaar geleden een democratische toekomst beloofd.

Het wordt tijd dat we die belofte gaan inwilligen met meer perspectief op toetreding tot de EU, om het land zo daadwerkelijk de stap te laten maken van Dayton naar Brussel. ⏹(4/4)

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) di 16 nov 2021, 16:30

Van vrijwel iedereen hoorde ik dat met Dodik niet te praten valt. Zolang hij geen serieuze tegenstand krijgt maar in plaats daarvan bij de internationale gemeenschap om tafel zit, zal zijn koers niet wijzigen.

EU-sancties zijn daarom hard nodig. (3/4)

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) di 16 nov 2021, 16:29

Het werd me nog duidelijker hoe gevaarlijk deze crisis is. Er leeft onder de bevolking een enorme angst dat het land teruggestort wordt in een gewelddadig conflict.

Men lieten weten dat EU- steun hard nodig is om van B-H een democratisch en geïntegreerd land te maken. (2/4)

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) di 16 nov 2021, 16:28

Afgelopen weekend bezocht ik Bosnië-Herzegovina nav de politieke crisis veroorzaakt door de afscheidingsplannen van Dodik, leider Servische nationalisten. Ik sprak activisten, oppositiepolitici en EU-ambassadeurs.

Polen moet de onafhankelijkheid van de rechtspraak garanderen voordat ze geld krijgt uit het coronaherstelfonds.
De Commissie laat zich met halve toezeggingen het bos in sturen, maar de onafhankelijke rechtspraak is te belangrijk om concessies op te doen.

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) ma 15 nov 2021, 23:22

Outrageous that Member States still refuse to stop Dodik with strong measures, and that Borrell remains to ‘call upon all parties‘ to calm down. As a reward, Dodik immediately announced to go ahead with its withdrawal.
