The European Commission’s #SocialPackage is a step forward but we need bolder action to tackle #inequality in the #EU. People deserve affordable homes, fair wages and free healthcare. Our copresident @baseickhout.bsky.social & MEP @mariaohisalo.vihreat.fi react ➡️ greens.eu/social-package

Social Package step in the right direction but more ambitious measures are needed

Today, the European Commission presented its Social Package. The Greens/EFA welcome this step in the right direction but call for more ambitious measures.

War drives profits while citizens pay the price. As fossil fuel giants cash in billions, Europeans are left struggling with rising energy costs. This isn’t our war and we shouldn’t pay for it. The path forward is clear: invest in clean, affordable energy, tax excessive profits, and protect citizens.

🌈 Great day for Europe‘s fundamental rights: The ECJ has ruled that Orbán‘s anti-LGBTI laws violate European democratic values such as equality 🇪🇺 It means the Commission must open infringement cases whenever a member state systemically breaches EU values. ❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 🩵 💙 💜

Dit is geen staakt-het-vuren, maar grootschalige escalatie door 🇮🇱 in Libanon. Het massaal bestoken van burgerdoelen - ook onder het mom van aanval op Hezbollah - zijn oorlogsmisdaden. In Gaza komt Netanyahu weg met genocide zonder enige politieke consequentie, nu ook Libanon?

We wanted to discuss Trump's threats to Spain in plenary and the potential impact on EU-US trade relations but the conservatives teamed up with the far-right and blocked our requests 😐 The EU must stand united, not on the side of Trump.

My thoughts are with the people of #Iran. Women & men who for years been caught between repression at home & escalation abroad. They aren't responsible for this regime. Yet they keep paying highest price. What they deserve is freedom, security & chance to live a life in dignity.

4 years ago Zelenskyy also addressed the European Parliament. In those days we were not sure Ukraine would manage to succeed against Russia. 4 years later Zelenskyy is still there, as a reminder of Ukraine's vigilant resistance against Putin's brutalities.

Europe will only be free when we are fossil free. We need an independent Europe, free from reliance on foreign fossil oligarchs and autocrats. Yet instead of backing green innovation, leaders push for deregulation. Our tax money should fund European jobs and autonomy, not the US or China.
