This devastating fire on Lesbos shows we urgently need the @EU_Commission to present its Pact on Asylum and Migration! I expect the EU to coordinate operational support with the Greek authorities to ensure alternative shelter for people in #Moria today! bbc.com/news/world-eur…

@barbarosansalfn Unfortunately not many of those people got a verdict from ECtHR.

Kati Piri Thu 3 Sep 2020, 21:47

WHY is highest judge of European Court of Human Rights meeting with Pres. Erdogan?

🇹🇷 has most cases in front of @ECHR_CEDH and thousands of people expect to have impartial hearing at judge Spano’s court.

This visit has politicized ECtHR & greatly damaged its reputation.

Dear mr. President. The French authorities have done their assessment: francebleu.fr/infos/sante-­sc…­ Conclusion should be simple: we are not going to send people to a red zone. Thank you.

@Tjakkodijk @EU_Commission @LGBTIintergroup @RenewEurope Dat is precies wat wij ook de Commissie vragen: ‘What concrete actions is the European Commission planning to take to end the continued attacks against LGBTI people in Poland?’

“Belarus has woken up. We are the majority now. This is not a geopolitical but a democratic revolution, for the right of people to decide on their own destiny”, says opposition leader Tsikhanouskaya in European Parliament’s foreign affairs committee meeting.

During the meeting on Belarus in the foreign affairs committee, the political groups again urge for new and fair elections, a halt to human rights violations and concrete EU support for the people in Belarus, independent media and opposition parties. multimedia.europarl.europa­.eu/en/afet-commit…­

Now is the time for the EU to squarely and unreservedly side with the people of #Belarus. Whatever it takes. Time for the last dictator of Europe to go.

Kati Piri Mon 17 Aug 2020, 11:57

The right step by @eucopresident to call a meeting of EU leaders on #Belarus.

EU must stand in solidarity with Belarusian people and demand new, free elections.

EU Foreign Ministers may not let the brave people of #Belarus down!

Stand up for democracy and draw clear consequences from stolen elections and grave human rights violations.

Kati Piri Sun 9 Aug 2020, 19:18

The ‘result’ is not surprising - everyone knew from the start elections would be rigged. But brave people of #Belarus have shown during past weeks that they are fed up with Lukashenko’s dictatorship.

#LGBTI people are under constant political attack in #Poland by ruling party. Time to draw a red line @vonderleyen @helenadalli and protect the fundamental rights of all European citizens.

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) Sat 8 Aug 2020, 12:57

Polish government taking the homophobic hate campaign to the next level: a full blown witch hunt for #LGBTI people. A gross violation of EU values and a provocation of the EU. Europe must speak out immediately and unambiguously @vonderleyen @EP_President @eucopresident @EU2020DE

Samira Rafaela (D66) Tue 4 Aug 2020, 22:32

My thoughts are with the people in Lebanon 🙏🏽

Kati Piri Tue 4 Aug 2020, 20:35

Terrifying visuals from #Beirut. People were already in a difficult situation w/ covid-19 and food shortages.

Condolences to all caught up in this disaster. The EU must come to the aid of the people in #Lebanon.

Rob Roos (JA21) Sun 26 Jul 2020, 19:37

Many internet sites in #China are blocked. In this way, the government has control over the information that people receive. SCARY!
But that's exactly what the #EU is planning to do. The EU explains it as 'democratic values'. But of course it is censorship

Some people collect stamps, Orbán collects #CJEU rulings slashing his policies. Those rulings paint a grim picture of his attempt to capture the judiciary, gag NGOs, or inhumane treatment of refugees. But he is still welcome in @EPPGroup

Systemic racism is not just a problem in 🇺🇸. Also in 🇪🇺, racial discrimination against people of color run deep in our institutions and societies. We need action & acknowledge injustices of our dark colonial past.

+1People have been protesting against racism and discrimination for years. Both in the US and in Europe. Now it is time for political action. I call on @helenadalli, @vonderleyen & @JosepBorrellF to act on a Parliament resolution from a year ago. Further delay is unacceptable.

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) Mon 1 Jun 2020, 12:26

Make no mistake; many Europeans have reason to protest indignity at home. Institutionalised racism, and excessive police violence against people from minorities are not alien to Europe. There are however reasons for a political response by Europe.

- In Italy half the doctors are women. Over 70% of nurses are women. The majority of people working at supermarkets are women. The researchers that identified the outbreak, were a group of women. -

@manu_gira explaining why she spoke up against “Italy’s boys club” in charge.

Samira Rafaela (D66) Wed 27 May 2020, 22:48

In the US, black people are disproportionally more likely to be killed by police. The police is there to protect the fundamental rights of citizens. Excessive violence against citizens, resulting in death should be condemned always. #GeorgeFloyd

“While this year Europe Day may be tinged with sadness for British pro-Europeans, the determination of young people will see us one day re-join the EU”. Excellent OpEd of my former colleague MEP @LuisaPorritt at the occasion of #EuropeDay2020 🇪🇺

@pointer_kroncrv @EU_Commission Research led by @LHreports proved that Greek border guards shot at innocent people, resulting in one person killed and six wounded.

This cannot go unanswered. We @GreensEFA demand an investigation by the Commission to call the Greek government to account.

How strength can become a weakness. Rutte is, rightfully so, blamed for babbling too easily with people on money to Spain and Italy. It's vintage Rutte that was welcomed when it lead to this: youtu.be/dRyfOvP2GOo So Rutte should take his leader role now. No time for babbling.

Many people fear to become unemployed due to COVID-19. We have to make sure that people can stay in work.

A European support instrument to mitigate unemployment risks is much needed now!

I am eagerly looking forward to the @EU_Commission proposal!
