Chers électeurs,

En direct du Parlement européen:

Message de vos élus de droite et extrême droite:
- le droit au logement n'est pas un droit
- la spécularion immobilière qui fait flamber les prix et explique la crise du logement est ok

Bref, les loyers sont chers, tanpis pour vous 🏠🏢🤦‍♀️

Règlement retours : un vote honteux
Règlement retours : un vote honteux YouTube video by Saskia Bricmont

🇪🇺 La droite au Parlement UE s’allie à extrême droite pour soutenir le règlement 'retours': détention prolongée des sans-papiers, enfants inclus, hubs hors UE…

Nous allons contester ce mandat!

L'UE doit choisir dignité, solidarité et protection, pas peur et répression✊

Congratulations to Andrés Ritter, confirmed as the new European Chief Prosecutor of the #EPPO.

This function is essential in the fight against fraud and corruption in the EU. The first mandate, led by Laura Kövesi, demonstrated the major role played by the EPPO in monitoring European funds

Ce soir, l'UE bascule à l'extrême droite en matière migratoire grâce au soutien des conservateurs.

"Plus jamais ça" est en train de se reproduire et quand une catégorie de la population est prise pour cible, cela n'augure rien de bon.

ICE Europe est en marche.

An unholy coalition between EPP and extreme right just adopted a law enabling ICE-style structures and deportations. A step closer to a dystopian, Trump-inspired deportation policy.
A big step away from a fair, humane and efficient migration system. I urge the EPP to rethink before the plenary vote.

In today's world we can no longer afford an EU that is thrust into crisis with each national election. We can no longer afford an EU where national egoes and external actors take precedence over the stability and security of the people of Europe. Constitutional reform is urgent.

If national leaders object to a role for the Commission President in foreign affairs, maybe they should acknowledge she is just stepping into the vacuum left by their failure to agree on anything?

Purple-toned illustration celebrating International Women’s Day, featuring drawings of diverse women human rights defenders. Around the border are portraits and scenes of women speaking with a megaphone, leading discussions, protesting with signs, and standing together in solidarity. The women appear from different regions and backgrounds, some wearing headscarves and others with different hairstyles and clothing styles. In the center, large text reads: “Happy International Women’s Day to women human rights defenders everywhere.”

This #InternationalWomensDay, I want to thank the WHRDs who continue their work at the forefront of all human rights struggles despite enormous risks. Your determination & perseverance keep the human rights movement alive in challenging times.

Israel has killed tens of thousands of Palestinian women and girls in its genocidal war on Gaza.

On International Women's Day, we look at the number of women and girls Israel killed in Gaza in 2025.

A critical journalist and migration activists targeted in the same #Paragon spyware attack. Who had the means & motive: the Italian government. No-one else has a motive, and spyware is expensive and not sold to normal citizens. Like in other EU countries spyware is being used for political purposes.

Kos-'n-Kohl - the merit of speed EU enlargement needs leadership, not accountancy

EU enlargement was always a matter of political strategy, never of technocratic box-ticking. Each wave of enlargement made Europe stronger. Today’s leaders should heed that lesson and work towards a swift accession of Ukraine and the other candidates. My blog:

Listening to some States speak about protecting HRDs at the Human Rights Council this week, I thought I was in wonderland.

I've seen some genuine efforts, yes. But also plenty of smokescreening.

States know what's needed: laws, policies, procedures & the spine to implement them. #HRC61

Urgent call to protect civilians and respect international law as Middle East conflict intensifies As regional conflict intensifies after US and Israeli strikes on Iran, Amnesty International calls for civilian protection and full compliance with international law.

Wars have rules for a reason.

Civilians should never pay the price of any conflict.

Dingue que ce débat doive avoir lieu dans une UE de l'égalité, que des jeunes de 22 ans sans moyens aient à convaincre les députés plutôt que d'être à l'univ, alors que le lobby de ceux qui estiment devoir "corriger" l'orientation sexuelle ou l'identité de genre est intense et financé.
