Sophie in 't Veld Cyrus Engerer «The major criticism I give to myself is that for a long time we tended to ignore the activities of these christian right political organisations.

#Malta has given youths the strongest powers in Europe on politics. On threads, I speak about what this should mean but won't - threads.net/@engerer/post/…

Seeing the celebrations in #Tbilisi and those young people full of hope for freedom reminded me of myself 20 years ago. Can't believe two decades have already passed since Malta joined the #EU - looking forward to have our Georgian siblings with us #StrongerTogether #Georgia

“This injustice will shame Malta globally.”

Prof. Daphne Halikiopoulou Yannick Lahti Arthur Neslen The Guardian In the panel discussion MEP Cyrus Engerer starts off the discussion “the far right are very well organised and have blocked European processes from moving forward, this created scepticism and doubts from citizens towards other parties.
