The strategy of the right and far right is to dehumanize their opponents at any cost. The harassment, both personal and political, of the Prime Minister of Spain and his family is intolerable. Lies, slander and hate speech have no place in the democratic debate. They will not win

The Gambia risks being the first country in the world to reverse legal protection against Female Genital Mutilation.

The Gambian authorities must reverse this concerning backsliding.

Ghana's new law criminalising LGBTI+ people and threatening them with up to 3 years of prison is the most homophobic legislation ever passed in an African state.

The EU Commission and Member States must react immediately. We call on President Nana Akufo-Addo not to sign the law.

No democracy can be built on silence.
“Truth, justice, reparation and duty of memory.” These are the principles of the United Nations in memory policies, present in a law that equates Spain with other 🇪🇺 democracies that also suffered from fascism.

Proud of the ground-breaking EU anti-money laundering law!

Under Eero Heinäluoma & Paul Tang's leadership, this law will change the rules of the game & help prevent financial scandals.

Good news for citizens & businesses, bad news for oligarchs, terrorists & other criminals.

After years of deliberate attacks on the rule of law, democracy and fundamental rights, Orban’s Government is not fit to chair the EU Presidency.

Member states and the Council should find a solution now to avoid further abuse of power in the Council.

Despite it being in the Treaties for over a decade, the 🇪🇺 Parliament still does not have the right of inquiry in its toolbox.

MEPs must have the right to summon Commissioners and officials and to scrutinise important documents.

✅Good news for nature and farmers! The 🇪🇺Parliament just passed an important law to ensure the quality and diversity of seeds and other plant reproductive material used in farming.

The S&D fought hard for the conservation of genetic resources and to increase agro-biodiversity.

The EU Green Deal is not the problem. Climate change is! But for cheap political gains, the right has teamed up with the climate deniers to kill the deal. We won't let that happen.

The S&D fight for a Green Deal with a red heart. One that truly protects people & planet. ✊♥️🌿

It was a unique, historical moment!

Poland's path to the 🇪🇺 was difficult and long. But we met many allies on this path, many left-wing politicians in the governments of the EU-15.
It's largely thanks to them we entered the EU on the premises that we are all free and equal.
