Europe is facing more frequent and severe heatwaves. And we are not prepared. We are calling to convene an emergency European Heatwave Summit. Europe needs action now: safer workplaces, cooler homes, greener cities and better-prepared public services. Read our letter 👇

Our Group includes Green, Pirate, independent MEPs, MEPs representing stateless nations & minorities.
We need a European Heatwave Action Plan. Greens/EFA co-president @terryreintke.bsky.social: “While Europe is burning, too many EU leaders still treat climate action as optional, while citizens, firefighters, farmers and taxpayers pay the price." www.greens-efa.eu/en/article/p...
Wildfires: Greens/EFA call for urgent Heatwave Action Plan

2050, done right: tree-lined streets, solar rooftops, quiet trams, flood-proof rivers, wind-powered homes. We must make it happen now. 🌿☀️ Send this card to someone special: act.greens-efa.eu/2050-postcar...
Why are WE paying for a crisis THEY created? Fossil fuel companies should be the ones paying the bill to cool Europe down. They have, after all, knowingly profited for decades from creating the conditions that make us overheat today. Our heatwave action plan: www.greens-efa.eu/en/article/p...
United against fascism. Today and every day. 📽🗣 @terryreintke.bsky.social
The extreme heatwaves we've experienced this year have already caused thousands of excess deaths in Europe. Where is the mourning? Where is the crisis meeting? The climate crisis isn’t abstract. It is not a problem for the future. It is here and now. - Greens/EFA MEP @lenaats.bsky.social
"If politicians work together, they can put the rights of citizens above the profits of big multinationals. That is how we managed to improve European air passengers' rights." 💬 Speech by our Greens/EFA MEP @vicentmarza.bsky.social in the European Parliament
The far right ESN party will be investigated for making racist, antisemitic, and homophobic statements. On the initiative of Greens/EFA MEP @danielfreund.bsky.social, a majority of the MEPs decided to stand up for tax payers’ money and European values. 🔗 greens.eu/3SPvNI6
🌟 Finally, EU countries will cooperate on social protection, ensuring workers’ rights are respected across the EU. Thank you, MEP @gordanbosanac.bsky.social, for leading the fight to get hard working people the benefits they deserve. ➡️ www.greens-efa.eu/en/article/p...
Europe is burning. Again. And it's only the start of summer. We need #ClimateAdaptation, for cool homes, public buildings and cities. Cost? €70B/year. Who pays? #FossilFuel giants. 7% of their revenues could fund it all. They caused this. They must fix it. Our plan: greens.eu/heatwave-act...
Albania’s Vjosa-Narta protected area is under attack. 🦩 The Environment Minister told our Greens/EFA MEPs today that the destruction that happened so far was done ONLY for an impact assessment. 🫠 Prime Minister Rama is selling out Albania’s natural treasures to Trump’s allies for luxury hotels.
A warm welcome to Ufuk Kahya, our new MEP from the Netherlands. ‘Joy is resistance’, he says, and we couldn’t agree more. Thrilled to have your energy and passion in the Greens/EFA Group. Let’s keep fighting for a just, green future together!
#Albania is not for sale! A delegation of 5 Greens/EFA MEPs and @europeangreens.eu co-chair are in Tirana to support protests against nature destruction and corruption. Here is what we have seen there ➡️ www.greens-efa.eu/en/article/p... 🦩🦩 #FlamingoRevolution #HandsOffVjosaNarta
“Albania is not for sale”
Today, a delegation of Greens/EFA MEPs and the European Green Party, including Co-Chair Vula Tsetsi, visits the Vjosa-Narta protected area, the planned Vlora airport and wider foreign luxury tourism d...

Our Greens/EFA MEPs were not allowed to properly inspect the Gjadër migration detention centre in Albania today. @tinekestrik.bsky.social: "We were not allowed to go into the cells, and see what the situation is. We make sure that this doesn’t become the model for EU-funded detention centres."
MEPs denied proper inspection of detention center in Gjadër
Today, a delegation of Greens/EFA Group MEPs visited the Gjadër migration detention centre in Albania. The group was denied a proper inspection of the facilities and faced uncooperative staff at the c...

✊ Power to the people! We Greens stand up for each other, all across Europe. 💚 Thank you, Green Budapest mayor Gergely Karácsony, for leading us in our fight with authoritarian regimes. featuring @kimvsparrentak.bsky.social @rasmusnordqvist.bsky.social Nicu Ștefănuță @vulatsetsi.bsky.social
Throughout the 16 years that Orbán was in power in Hungary, Greens supported those who were fighting back against his autocratic changes. 🌈We will continue to support our partners, including civil society, in Hungary, until democracy and the rule of law, is fully restored.
Next Monday/Tuesday, we @greens-efa.eu will join the Flamingo protests in Tirana and Vjosa-Narta. The Albanian government has sold this precious nature reserve to the superrich Trump clan to turn it into a luxury tourist resort. We urge for an immediate halt to this destruction and to any bribery.
Day 25 Tirana Albania — the rain stopped by not the Flamingo Revolution. Protesters are now filling up the streets with banners, signs and flags!
Last year, 300,000 people united for freedom, love, and equal rights at Budapest Pride. Our heroes: 🇭🇺 citizens and 🇪🇺 friends 🏳️🌈 the Pride organisers and the unwavering 🌟Gergely Karácsony🌟, the Green Mayor of Budapest, who stood tall against hate and threats. 🌈 We are back in Budapest tomorrow! 🌈
We are again experiencing record-breaking #heat in #Europe, and feeling the impacts on our wallet, our #health, our sleep, our work. Yet, #ClimateAction continues to be delayed by #FossilFuel interests. The EU must side with the people, not polluters. Before today's records become the norm.
Infinite growth is a doomed strategy. If you're looking for an easy solution to your problems, look up, not down. When a handful of oligarchs have so much money they can buy power, we all loose. That's why we need to tax the 1% what they owe to society & invest that money where we all benefit.
Should WE all pay for cleaning up our drinking water from the pollution by the pharmaceutical industry? YES, says the christian democrat @eppgroup.bsky.social , siding with the far-right, in their crusade to kill public health standards. Our Greens/EFA MEP @juttapaulus.bsky.social reacts 👇
Right-wing muddying the waters at expense of local communities
Today, MEPs have just voted to support a resolution on the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive, which will override water protection rules. The Greens/EFA Group stand against this roll back of the ru...

With Transnational Repression, autocrats want to send a chilling message: “You are nowhere safe” W/ my report, @europarl.europa.eu sends a clear signal to dissidents, journalists, human rights defenders, diaspora communities: “You will be safe, now & here" #StopTransnationalRepression
They’re cheering after voting to lock up children in deportation camps. All pushed through by de Christian Democrat @eppgroup.bsky.social together with the far-right. We know that the majority of Europeans don’t want this. We, in Europe, care for each other. We won't stay silent. Shame on them!
While Big Tech thought they could deregulate our AI legislation, we managed to ban nudifier apps in Europe. 🌟 Greens/EFA MEPs @kimvsparrentak.bsky.social and @marketkag.eurosky.social have the details 👉 www.greens-efa.eu/en/article/p...
The European Parliament just agreed to ban descriptions for plant-based products like steak or bacon - creating a cultural war at the expense of farmers and EU citizens. MEP @annastrolenberg.volteuropa.org comments on behalf of the Greens/EFA Group ➡️ www.greens-efa.eu/en/article/p...
We teamed up with 13 EU #tech leaders to ask the European Commission to support European tech. #TechSovereignty means investing in our own solutions. Not bargaining our freedom and independence away to U.S. tech bros. Time to build, buy, and protect European. More info: greens.eu/eu-tech
