In WWII the Allies bombed Nazi Germany's oil depots as a high priority military target. That's the tweet.

Big contrast in the reactions by Volt MEP Damian Boeselager & Roberta Metsola to the EU Asylum and Migration Pact

Council Pres decided to unilaterally cancel the negotiations on the EU Long Term Residence Directive - mainly because one country lobbied heavily against it (merci beaucoup…)

After years of working on this law, this is a sad outcome.

Statement in committee 👇🏽

It's urgent to create a progressive side that speaks to people detached from traditional politics. That's why we created Volt.

I will post some highlights below:

With inquiry after inquiry being heavily resisted by PL leaders only to end up showing institutional failings with the consequence of innocent lives being lost, Robert Abela and his team should consider doing what's expected of them in this situation
