Europe has to step up to the plate @EUCouncil @JosepBorrellF must give an immediate, clear and tough response to the piracy act of Lukashenka, stand tall for democracy&fundamental rights, in support of Belarusian people! Time for real actions!

Government leaders have to chose: do they stand with the people of Belarus, or with Luka’s BFF Orbàn?

I am in politics to protect people's life and health. If that means I need to support less favourable options for one of the richest industries in the world, I will do so.

Today the @Europarl_EN debated about the global vaccine production, distribution and the #TRIPSwaiver.

Today and on all days we speak out against the continued discrimination, hate and violence that #LGBTIQ people have to endure. I will keep fighting for our rights and equality in the EU because everyone deserves to be free to be who they are and love who they want!

Good discussion with @UNHCRGreece on the situation in the Vathy camp on Samos. There are currently 5 times more people in the camp than the capacity allows, including 500 children. There is an urgent need for more medical assistance and relocation.

Guaranteeing a reliable & pleasant 🇪🇺rail service is key in achieving Green Deal objectives! Sadly, Parliament voted in favour of weak rules on passengers' rights.

I’m sure it will please rail operators but it doesn't do enough to convince more people to take the🚊 for our 🌎!

Nobody wins from #Brexit, especially not young people. Yesterday I was live on @TimesRadio with @PhilWilliams to talk about the @Europarl_EN's vote on the EU-UK trade deal. We also discussed the export authorization mechanism and equal vaccine distribution.🇪🇺🇬🇧

The #DigitalGreenCertificate is just a workaround because the Commission failed on the purchase of vaccines. I told #VDL youtu.be/quTdqe7Eoxc

The #DGC does not ensure freedom, it makes it conditional. MEP @rooken will defend the civil rights of the people at #Eplenary today.

As an entrepreneur I decided 5 years ago to become active in politics because the #RuleOfLaw in the Netherlands is in terrible condition. I am proud of my country and it deserves a better government and better representatives of the people. Democracy needs to be repaired. ⤵️

In the action plan for the European pillar of social rights, the @EU_Commission proposes a target to lift 15 million people out of poverty, but doesn't include the people who are homeless. The European leaders have an opportunity to make this right in Porto.

Kim van Sparrentak (GroenLinks) vr 23 apr 2021, 19:03

Homelessness increased by 70% in the past decade. Every night more than 700.000 people sleep rough. Due to the economic impact of the pandemic, this will only continue to rise, if we don't take action.

Agnes Jongerius (PvdA) vr 23 apr 2021, 09:22

When you subscribe to the European Pillar of #SocialRights and welcome the Commission Action Plan, then it's also time to act accordingly.

We need more quality jobs for people all over Europe, and poverty must be reduced by 50% if we want to meet the UNSDGs on our continent too!

Agnes Jongerius (PvdA) vr 23 apr 2021, 09:00

We need a strong recovery and social progress for people in all EU countries.

Without upward social convergence, the EU project itself in the end crumbles down too.

Unbelievable that the Dutch govermment does not recognise this.

More freedom with a European Digital Green Certificate: great! 🎉 But vaccination is free whereas testing is costly. Read 👇 my call on the Commission to provide free #covid tests and a price cap, giving people a real choice, and ensuring equality and free movement.

10 years of civil war in Syria; many people have died, cities are destroyed, hopes have vanished. Over half of Syrians lack food or shelter. Refugees can't go back, but can't build a future in Turkey, Lebanon or Jordan either. We need to take responsibility, in- and outside Syria

In the new social agenda for Europe, we must set binding targets by 2030 on:

More quality jobs
Reducing poverty by half

People deserve these #SocialRights to become reality!

We call on @vonderleyen and the Member States to commit to these demands too.

The unelected European Commission divides our society into first and second class citizens with this ‘Digital GREEN Pass’. Because with new strains of COVID, the vaccinating will never stop.

The energy bills in the #EU are increasing for citizens and companies because of renewables (solar, wind and biomass).
Lot’s of people are suffering because of energy poverty and companies will invest outside our EU borders. This is a losing game especially compared to China.

We are in a global pandemic and we need to make sure that the most vulnerable people are vaccinated first. That is why we need full transparency about the vaccine contracts, from both AstraZeneca and the @EU_Commission.

PL and HU governments now flatly refuse to recognise the authority of the #CJEU and EU Treaties. Yet Commission @vonderleyen and Council keep treating them with velvet gloves in stead of standing tall for judges, women, LGBTI people, civil society, journalists, refugees

These are:

5). For profit.

It's incredible to see that while a fascist attack is happening on the democratic institutions of one of the most powerful countries in the world, people are turning to Jack and Mark to stop the spread of information, rather than the source of information.
