Have it - hot of the press- in my hands now. Love the part about a new social contract for 2021. Otherwise short and readable. Great 👍🏻 #Espas

What a formidable development! This proves that #foresight is embedded in #policymaking.

“Our biggest security threat is the far-right. We see the connections of far-right politicians with Putin and China. We cannot have the extended arm of Vladimir Putin sitting in the European Parliament!” #ChooseCourage Terry Reintke at the #EurovisionDebate

This is such a great idea. Strike poses as if a sports crowd cheering someone else is actually cheering you. Everyone should do it.

Soooo cool! Just ❤️.

The richest 1% are responsible for the same quantity of planet-wrecking greenhouse gases as two-thirds of humanity. These are not natural facts. They are the result of humanity’s choices. We can, and must, decide to do things differently.

As it happens (wrongly) with most women in politics, Kamala Harris will be judged according to higher standards than #Trump, the felon. It happened to Hillary Clinton & it will happen to her. Give her a fair chance & always ask yourself: Would you say “—————” about the other guy?

⚡️ADOPTED ⚡️UN General Assembly erupts in applause with adoption of the Pact for the Future & its annexes on a Global Digital Compact & Declaration on Future Generations at the #SummitoftheFuture. An ambitious political commitment to take us all into the future. #EUatUNGA🇪🇺🇺🇳

“Violence against women is unbearable and a direct attack on the very foundations of the European ideal, as enshrined in Article 2 of the Treaty on the European Union” - Sophie Wilmès , Vice-President of the European Parliament.

“Women must be able to lead without fear” - Sanna Lepola, European Parliament Director-General 🇪🇺

Hier, l’Assemblea di a Giuventù s’est prêtée à l’exercice de prospective des enjeux à l’horizon 2050. Des échanges riches sur des notions propres à cette jeunesse, que nous nous devons de considérer. 2050, c’est demain, c’est eux !

In a democracy, there is a place for everyone. It is built on participation, diversity and equality. As the EU, we support genuine elections, protect independent media, stand with civil society and challenge disinformation, because in a democracy all voices matter. #DemocracyDay

Today, we come together for #DemocracyDay. A day dedicated to renewing our collective commitment to democratic principles & practices worldwide. In times when disinformation, polarisation, & shrinking civic space challenge core democratic values, this day calls on all of us.
