Journalists have as of today an ally that protects them, strengthens their independence & helps them face challenges. #EMFA is a landmark & solid piece of legislation. No journalist should ever fear pressure of any sorts when doing their job and informing the citizens.

67 #MEPs on the 2-year anniversary of the heroic efforts of the people of #Ukraine in defence of Ukraine and Europe, call for imposing a total economic embargo on #Russia
and setting up an international tribunal to bring the aggressor and his accomplices to justice. #24Feb2022

Getting ready for a historic vote: #AMLA seat

We celebrate today #112Day2024 . In case of emergency you can dial 112 free of charge anywhere in the European Union European Emergency Number Association 112 (EENA). Dear first responders, thank you for your courageous never ending drive to help others!

I open the weekend edition of EL MUNDO, the 2nd most read newspaper in #Spain , with an article about the Anti-Corruption Directive, for which I am the European Parliament rapporteur.

Congratulations, @valeriehayer, for becoming the new president of Renew Europe group in the European Parliament. Looking forward to working with such a great woman and leadership model. We are stronger together!

A strong #AML package is what the EU citizens expect from us. With the new package, we took strong steps fwd in ensuring access to beneficial ownership registers for journalists&civil society, ensuring a strong cooperation framework for FIUs & protecting our citizens' money.

#MediaFreedomAct is reality. We made it. This is recognition of a work which safeguards our democracy and values every day. Protecting media freedom & media workers is a duty. They deserve it.
To Daphne, Jan and all true watchdogs of a free world.

Excellent exchange today with the European Ombudsman, Emily O'Reilly, on the latest developments around the Anti-corruption Directive, as well as good administration, accountability & transparency in the #EU institutions & agencies.

Not organizing a proper hearing on the Art. 7 procedure regarding #Hungary during the current @eu2023es would be a missed opportunity for defending RoL. On the side of the EP, we will continue to push for respect of #EU values by the Orban Gov.. We owe it to the HU citizens.

Thank you LIBE Committee Press for inviting Francesca Farrington and I to present our study on SLAPPs today.

As Ramona Strugariu MEP, Jeroen Lenaers and others noted in discussion, it's essential that an anti-SLAPP Directive provide strong remedies for all SLAPPs with cross-border implications.

6y after #Daphne 's death the people who ordered her assassination are still free. This shows how deeply infiltrated these criminals are in the Gov. structures of #Malta . We shall not be silent until impunity ends and the master minds behind this murder are put in jail.

Today, #Romania 🇷🇴 has a great world leader as its guest. It is an honor & a pride. Welcome to Romania, President @ZelenskyyUA 🇺🇦!

#EMFA has to be a strong ally for free media. Independent journalists need a robust legal framework protecting their work, their sources, their freedom & securing their role as guardians of democracy. Democracy will never survive in the darkness of the unspoken truth

The hypocrisy of #EU conservatives & an honest reply. Episode “Dialogues with Dominik Tarczyński MEP”.

'The future of the Rep. of #Moldova 🇲🇩 is in the European Union!' For me, this is the most important message for #EU enlargement policy today in the #SOTEU address. Then let's open the chapters for Moldova's accession & start working towards this goal.

#NoMeansNo ! I welcome the strong support shown by the European Commission’s president Ursula von der Leyen for the gender equality & combatting violence agst women, during the #SOTEU address. It’s time to put women&girls at the heart of the #EU , when addressing inequality&economic instability

#EuropeanMediaFreedomAct places editorial freedom & pluralism at the heart of EU where it belongs

For us, protection of journalists, editorial independence & transparency of media ownership are the core values that will make 🇪🇺 stronger

Irena Joveva, Andrus Ansip & Ramona Strugariu MEP

We are Renew Europe! Happy to join my colleagues in #Vienna this week for our annual strategic meeting to discuss the political orientation for the next months. RO🇷🇴 accession to #Schengen set amongst the top priorities of the group.
