News from Slovenia should set off alarm bells. We’ve seen the modus operandi of Janez Janša: * a steady shift to the far right, * the erosion of democracy and justice, * attacks on journalists, women, civil society, trade unions, and * open disregard for EU institutions, including this Parliament.

Allowing Europeans to be humiliated, handcuffed, forced to kneel, and abused for bringing humanitarian aid to Gaza is the image of impunity. The EU cannot remain silent, nor can this Parliament allow it. It’s hight time to sanction Netanyahu’s government, says @IratxeGarper

Francesca Albanese, the Italian lawyer serving as the UN special rapporteur for the Palestinian territories, has been removed from the U.S. sanctions blacklist after a federal court intervened against the Trump administration’s decision. politico.eu/article/us-lif…

Appalled by this video and by shameless Minister’s joy over it. Wielding power for public theater violates basic human dignity and legal standards. Fascism started with dehumanisation. This is Israel. True justice demands accountability, restraint, and adherence to moral law.

The EU Commission must present its long-awaited Middle East Strategy, push the Council to suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement, and reclaim a diplomatic role rooted in international law — with concrete support for Gaza’s reconstruction and state-building efforts in Syria and Lebanon.

Israel’s decision to reintroduce the death penalty for Palestinians is deeply alarming and constitutes yet another violation of its human rights obligations under the EU-Israel Association Agreement.

The crises in the Middle East require EU diplomacy, not continued breaches of international law by the US and Israel. The war against Iran is illegal, as are massacres in Gaza, de facto annexation of the West Bank, and occupation of Lebanese territory. europarl.europa.eu/plenary/en/hom…

We are taking the lead on the introduction of four new taxes: 💶on crypto-assets 💶a digital tax on big tech 💶a tax on extreme wealth 💶a tax on online gambling Considering a 1% flat tax on the revenues of online gambling, the amount collected could average around EUR 0.4 billion per year! This is why we proposed a Commission statement on new EU own resources from the online gambling and betting services sector for Wednesday afternoon.

We welcome the US court’s decision to suspend sanctions against @FranceskAlbs.   We ask the @EU_Commission to activate the Blocking Statute to protect ICC judges from unlawful foreign sanctions.   The strength of the rule of law should prevail over the law of the strongest.

Sanctioning settlers and Hamas is a first step But no more double standards: Netanyahu’s government must also be sanctioned for the massacres in Gaza, the West Bank & Lebanon Real accountability means suspending the Agreement. Palestinians & Israelis deserve peace and freedom

Vesel, da so se povabilu na srečanje v Ljubljani odzvali gostje iz Avstrije, Madžarske, Italije, med njimi evropski poslanci, senatorka v Rimu, predsednika strank Prerod in Pirati iz Slovenije ter številni drugi, ki delimo vrednote miru, spoštovanja, sodelovanja, in solidarnosti.

[MOBILIZACIJA PROGRESIVNIH SIL] Ob dnevu zmage in dnevu Evrope🇪🇺 smo se v LJ🇸🇮 zbrale progresivne sile iz Slovenije ter EU. Sporočamo, da nam je mar za našo in prihodnost naših otrok, da ne pristajamo na konflikte, razdore in pogrom nad temeljnimi vrednotami demokratičnega sveta.

MEP Matjaž Nemec on Europe Day gathered progressive forces from SLO🇸🇮 and EU🇪🇺 at the event in Ljubljana to announce that we care about our future, that we do not accept war conflicts and attacks on the fundamental values ​​of the democratic world. @TheProgressives @PES_PSE

The multiannual financial framework (MFF) is more than a budget. It’s a vision for Europe’s future. @IratxeGarper sets the stage for the main theme of this year’s Europe Day - A budget that works for the people. Join us today in the 🇪🇺Parliament in Brussels to find out more!

Evropa potrebuje prevetritev; pripraviti in realizirati mora strategijo za močno in odporno evropsko gospodarstvo ter za skupno zunanjo in varnostno politiko - ob neomajnem spoštovanju temeljnih vrednot EU.

Potrebujemo več, ne manj Evrope. Potrebujemo modele politik, ki bodo učinkoviteje (hitreje kot doslej) naslovili konkretne težave državljank in državljanov EU.

V okviru razprav Studio Evropa sem se v Hiši EU v Ljubljani danes udeležil pogovora z naslovom: »Dan Evrope - za močno Evropo vrednot«.

We lost Spain , The Netherlands, Ireland , Slovenia and Iceland for this btw…..

Imel sem čast nagovora ob obeležitvi 81. obletnice osvoboditve Vrhnike. Vsakič znova dokazujemo, da spoštujemo dediščino našega uporništva ter vrednote svobode, miru in solidarnosti, ki jih svet danes še kako zelo potrebuje.

📢 Evropski proračun mora odražati realnost, ne le praznih obljub! Danes sem na @EP_Budgets predstavil osnutek proračunske ocene za sklad, ki bo med 2028-34 podpiral področja azila, migracij in vključevanja. Od besed k dejanjem. 🌍🇪🇺 Več na povezavi 👇 matjaz-nemec.si/sl/news/medijs…
