Dear Commission, let's #EndTheCageAge! @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu

Green MEP @tillymetz.bsky.social has stepped into a field the Luxembourgish far right had long claimed as its own: the love for the local language, Lëtzebuergesch. Is this a one‑off move or the start of a new strategy by the Greens? @wort.lu has the answers: www.wort.lu/politik/dei-...

Déi Gréng flirten vorsichtig mit dem Thema „Lëtzebuergesch“

Die EU-Abgeordnete Tilly Metz bricht auf Instagram eine Lanze für die luxemburgische Sprache – steckt dahinter eine neue Strategie der Partei? Eine Analyse.

@tillymetz.bsky.social stood with us in front of the @europarl.europa.eu to urge to #StopTransportSuffering. "It's a file about animals but I hear only competitiveness, I only hear that business most go on. Worst, we have to simplify, we have to deregulate. [...] It is a scandal!"

Europe is making life better for our best life companions: our cats and dogs. 😺🐶 We are putting a stop to harmful breeding practices and will make sure that animal welfare goes above profit. Our MEP @tillymetz.bsky.social has all the details. 👇

Cats and dogs

Today, the European Parliament will approve the trilogue negotiations on the regulation on the protection of cats and dogs, thereby adopting uniform standards for the breeding, trade and traceability ...

Strong discussions last week on the future of non-animal science in pharmaceuticals. Together with MEP @tillymetz.bsky.social & Animals International, we explored how the EU Roadmap, NAMs + upcoming policy initiatives can accelerate the transition away from animal testing.

Together with Niels Fuglsang, I’ve sent a letter to Commissioners Hansen & Várhelyi urging them to put animal welfare at the heart of the Livestock Strategy. We need: 🐔 Phase out cages 🐄 Better protection for all species 🌍 Welfare-based import standards 🏷️ An EU welfare label 💶 Support for farmers

Together with over 30 MEPs from different political groups, I sent a letter to Commissioner Várhelyi expressing our concern about the erosion of Article 13 TFEU. 📨🐄 Animal welfare is not optional. It is a Treaty obligation and a reflection of our values as a Union. 🔗 lnkd.in/eCtuCYpH

A pleasure to meet with EFSA’s Executive Director Nikolaus Georg Kriz this morning. Thank you for taking the time to exchange on the Food and Feed Omnibus and EFSA’s current and future role in this area as well as in other sectors. Looking forward to continuing our discussions! 🤝

I have sent, together with MEPs from all 5 pro-European Groups, a letter to the European Commission supporting updates to the #REACH Annexes to advance the phase-out of animal testing. 🐰🛑🧪 Full letter: tillymetz.lu/wp-content/u... #StopAnimalTesting

Force-feeding in foie gras production must become a thing of the past!🪿 Together with 40 MEPs from different groups I sent a letter to Commissioners Várhelyi & Hansen calling for EU action to phase it out. It’s time to align EU laws with animal welfare values! 📄 tillymetz.lu/wp-content/u...

Over 1.5M EU citizens call on the Commission to ban fur farming and trade. 🦊 Together with MEPs across political groups, we demand the timely publication of the Commission communication — it’s time to end this cruel, unsafe, polluting practice across Europe. ✊

MEP @tillymetz.bsky.social joined us and closed the action by stressing that leaving no sentient being behind is about the credibility of the EU institutions, but also about solidarity and compassion. It's time to #EndtheCageAge!

At the Court of Justice this morning alongside many animal welfare NGOs for the #EndTheCageAge ECI hearing. Over a million citizens called for an end to cages in farming animals — yet the Commission failed to respond adequately. It’s time to finally take citizens’ demands seriously!

Animal welfare intergroup meeting this morning on animal transport. Join online for some presentations, reports from the ground and most likely interesting discussions. ➡️ ep.interactio.eu/join/d1354f0...

I wrote to key French decision-makers about the planned National Primate Centre. A €31m public investment hosting up to 1,800 non-human primates risks increasing their use in research-at a time when EU law, Eurobarometer results & the Commission’s roadmap point towards phasing out animal testing. 🐒

Today, with MEPs from across political groups, I sent a letter to the Commission supporting the Roadmap to phase out animal testing for chemical safety and insisting on the publication in early 2026. 🐇 Let’s advance non-animal methods to whilst fostering EU’s scientific excellence!

Honoured to join the #POLITICOHealthCare to discuss how Europe can rebalance innovation and access. Affordability issues and delays show the system is off track - we need investment that truly puts patients first.

🇪🇺 We're delighted to have MEPs @tillymetz.bsky.social & Michal Wiezik at our event today, discussing transport, modernization, and the future. 🗨️ Tilly has the perfect retort whenever she's asked why we champion #AnimalWelfare in a world so full of strife: "It's the same fight: the abuse of power."

Over 50,000 #WildAnimals exported since 2022 🚨 Despite warnings, some EU countries still contribute to massive exports of protected species to India’s #Vantara, owned by Asia’s richest man. Sharing NGOs’ concerns, we urge the Commission to act & protect wildlife from such commercial mega-projects!

I demand urgent action from Turkish authorities regarding livestock vessel Spiridon II which departed Uruguay on 19/09 carrying 2,901 cattle. Authorization to unload surviving animals must be granted immediately. Every other day at sea causes more suffering. maritime-executive.com/article/live...

Tomorrow, we vote in the EU Parliament on whether plant-based products can use meat names. 🍔 Together with my Group, I will vote against the #VeggieBurgerBan! Let’s invest our efforts in what really counts - climate action and social justice - not word games!

Have your say on EU animal welfare legislation 🐾 The European Commission is updating its legislation based on public input gathered through a consultation open until 12 December 2025 👉 lnkd.in/eQ5DRhEG Don’t miss your chance to shape the future of EU animal welfare policy!🗣️

💜 Today, on #SafeAbortionDay: Let’s remember that women’s rights are never guaranteed. Abortion is healthcare. Sexual & reproductive rights are fundamental rights. Across the EU, access to safe abortion remains unequal. We must defend the right to safe & legal abortion everywhere 🇪🇺

2019: I got arrested after an anti-nuclear protest at a Belgian airbase. 2025: The fight continues. #NuclearWeapons kill civilians indiscriminately, devastate entire regions & harm future generations. They must be banned. #InternationalDayForTheTotalEliminationOfNuclearWeapons

With unstoppable energy, the #BackToTheFuture march made it from Maastricht to Brussels. Against deregulation and for a future that protects people and planet, they were loud and clear 📣 and I was so happy to walk alongside them for the last bit, also with the wonderful @tillymetz.bsky.social

❌ From #GreenDeal to Green Delay The Commission postponed the #DeforestationRegulation again. How much more time & credibility will they waste? Every delay means more forests lost, communities harmed & our future at risk. 🌳 @greens-efa.eu will keep fighting: for forests, people & the planet!

Today, on #EuropeanDayForHumaneScience, I stand to support the phase-out of animal testing. Cruelty-free choices can assure safety & drive innovation. Together, we must defend these bans to keep Europe leading in humane science! 🐾
