More and more people are at risk of homelessness and energy poverty. This awful reality should be our highest priority. That is why today I called upon the European Commission to propose emergency legislation that bans energy disconnections and home evictions. ⤵️

The Ukrainian people are granted the Sacharov prize. President Zelensky address the Parliament, urging for accountability of the Kremlin regime. The perpetrators must know they cannot escape sanctions for their war crimes.

One day after the Iranian regime brutally executed #Majidreza_Rahnavard, the EU slapped sanctions on just twenty regime officials and one entity.

Is that really the best we can do?

The heroic Iranian people deserve far stronger support in their fight for freedom! #IranProtests

NEW: EU will impose a ‘very, very tough package of sanctions’ on the Islamic Republic and the Revolutionary Guard. Details later today. Sanctions cannot be harsh enough. We are sending a clear signal to the courageous Iranian people: we are fully on their side. #JinJiyanAzadi

After the barbaric execution of #MoshenShekari we need a decisive and immediate response! We must do everything we can to prevent further executions and support the brave Iranian people. The criminal repression must stop! @AmnestyIran #JinJiyanAzadi #BeTheirVoice #IranProtests

If this reckless execution of #MoshenShekari, protesting for freedom, is not sanctioned, more executions will follow. Respond adequately to this terror regime: step up sanctions and isolate Khamenei, IRGC, and all their enablers. Iranian people need our support, not only words.

Does @ecb loathe #Bitcoin?

Yes, it's still volatile and the industry needs to mature.

But the fact that many people prefer the freedom of a decentralized alternative, attractive as store of value, painfully shows the shortcomings of its own policies.

Still in our online public space, online platforms’ profit-driven algorithms continue to amplify online hate and disinformation, because that’s what people click on most.

Online hate speech is often not a single angry tweet. They are coordinated attacks on women, people of colour and other minorities. The purpose is to polarize and to silence us - and unfortunately it works... 2/

The EU hates Free Speech. The Digital Service Act (#DSA) is a proof of that. The EU wants full control. Because whoever controls the media, controls the people.

When persons are in distress at sea, every minute counts. By not fulfilling international obligations and criminalising SAR operations by NGOs, EU coastal states put people’s lives at stake.

Rather than be divided over migration, Europe should have belief in its ability to cope with large numbers of people coming in. We have shown we can do it:

Tomorrow a key debate on member states’ deteriorating willingness to secure the right to asylum. A disgrace that NGOs are criminalised while Member States violate their obligation to rescue people in distress. EU must prioritize SAR operations and coordinate safe disembarkation.
