The Left in the European Parliament

Next week, the @Europarl_EN will vote on the « return regulation » which will lead to mass deportation, ICE-style raids and Europe’s own Guantánamo Behind every deportation is a person, a family, a life torn apart. Stop the deportations.

Today's EU Foreign Affairs Council has one job: ban trade with Israeli settlements. Hit or miss moment.

“Leaked options paper show European Commission not serious about tackling settlement trade. “Using unanimity is a deeply cynical ploy by Von der Leyen. A qualified-majority is all that is required to ban trade with settlements. sinnfein.ie/news/leaked-op…

🔴Alerte : droite, macronistes et socialistes européens refusent de voter notre motion de rejet de ChatControl, la surveillance de masse des conversations privées ! L'UE passe donc en force, malgré deux rejets préalables du texte par le Parlement. Notre groupe @Left_EU continuera la bataille !

A Gaza si continua a morire. Diciamo le cose come stanno, e il Parlamento europeo rifiuta ancora una volta di votare una risoluzione di condanna del genocidio ai danni del popolo palestinese. A Strasburgo abbiamo denunciato ancora una volta una inaccettabile ipocrisia. D'altronde l'UE continua a mostrarsi subalterna agli interessi di Washington e del governo Netanyahu, da chi indossa il cappellino MAGA a chi pensa di poter ricostruire Gaza senza fermare prima le bombe.

As we debate cybersecurity, we cannot forget that our former colleague @SteliosKoul was spied on with Pegasus while serving on the European Parliament’s PEGA Committee investigating spyware abuses. If this goes unpunished, it sends a dangerous message: democratic mandates can be undermined without consequences.

Dangereux pour nos droits, inefficace en ce qui concerne la protection des enfants. Avec moins de 30 voix de différence, une majorité du Parlement européen approuve la ruse de procédure pour remettre à l'agenda une énorme violation de la vie privée des Européens. #ChatControl

✊ À notre initiative, le Parlement européen lance une enquête sur ESN, le parti européen de Sarah Knafo, pour des événements racistes et homophobes. ESN touche près de 2 millions d’euros par an de financements européens. On ne fait pas n’importe quoi avec l’argent public.

Die Krise der Automobilkonzerne wird durch das Versagen ihres Managements weiter verschärft. Jetzt sollen sogar Werke für die Aufrüstung genutzt werden: Raketenabwehrsysteme statt Volkswagen und Panzer mit Mercedes-Stern. Nicht mit uns @Left_EU ! #autoindustrie

Pourtant, quand on parle sécurité, construire des avions bombardiers d'eau n'est jamais en haut de la liste de la Commission. Elle préfère largement imposer l'austérité pour jeter des milliards dans la construction d'armes de guerre. Investissons dans la protection civile.

Former Left MEP @SteliosKoul's device was compromised after investigating the illegal use of Pegasus spyware. After a tight vote, our request with @GreensEFA for a plenary debate has been adopted. But again, the right & the far right chose silence over defending democracy.

#ChatControl masterclass in undermining democratic legitimacy. EU Parliament rejected mass-scanning of citizens' messages. Its president's answer? Use an exceptional procedure & force a new vote under rules that make rejection much harder than approval. politico.eu/article/robert…

🇵🇸 Op-ed: The Criminalization of Palestine More than 210 figures from the worlds of culture, politics, and civil society, in France and internationally, have voiced their support for me on the eve of my trial, this Tuesday, July 7. This is the 22nd legal proceeding brought against me because of my political opinions and positions in connection with my mandate as an elected representative. Together, they denounce the repression of solidarity with Palestine in France and warn of the erosion of the rule of law and the shrinking of our fundamental freedoms. Among the signatories are Christiane Taubira, Xavier Dolan, Annie Ernaux, Virginie Despentes, Guillaume Meurice, Ilhan Omar, Camille Étienne, Judith Butler, Roger Waters, Benjamin Biolay, Anna Mouglalis, Mohammed El-Kurd, Yanis Varoufakis, Pomme, and Rokhaya Diallo.

Land seized. Protected wetland bulldozed for billionaires. 35 days of mass protests. In an EU candidate country. EU response? Von der Leyen: silent. Kallas: silent. Kos: "the government reassured me, all's fine." Why the silence, EU Commission?🦩 #Albania #FlamingoRevolution

🔻The audacity is staggering. 🔻An unnamed state actor was spying on former MEP Stelios Kouloglou using Pegasus spyware while he was already serving as a member of the European Parliament's PEGA Committee, as confirmed by Citizen Lab. 🔻He is the second Greek Member of the European Parliament, after Nikos Androulakis, to be identified as a target of the illegal Israeli spyware. The Greek government and the Greek judiciary must act immediately. 🔻We call on the President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, to re-establish the PEGA Committee without delay. Democracy and the rule of law cannot be left unprotected. @Left_EU @SYRIZAEP

El rentismo no es un negocio, es un robo a la gente que trabaja a través de alquileres impagables. A la generación inquilina se le roba no solo el sueldo, también el bienestar, el presente y el futuro. Tenemos que cambiarlo.

La politique coloniale et génocidaire israélienne a détruit pour 150 millions d’euros d’infrastructures financées par le contribuable européen en territoires occupés. Israël n’a jamais versé de compensation financière à l’Union européenne et ne fait l’objet d’aucune sanction. Les dirigeants européens se font cracher dessus par Israël et ils en redemandent.
