Ukraine is Europe!
We stand by Ukraine.
We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.
Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Lorenzo Vella, Head of our @EU_Commission Representation in Malta.
I’ll remember him as a kind and enthusiastic person, and a passionate European.
I extend my deepest condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time.

Women must not be treated as second-class citizens!
Once again, right and far-right showed their true colours by voting against women.
But a progressive majority prevailed & called for the right to legal, safe abortion to be included in the EU Charter of fundamental rights!
Despite opposition from the right and the far-right, the 🇪🇺 Parliament called today for the right to legal and safe abortion to be included in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.✊
@fred_matic & @engerer have details 👇

«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. We did not try to contradict their messages because we thought they were directed to an ultra-minority. This left a vacuum for them» @engerer talks about the Maltese Christian Right 🇲🇹

Young progressives send a clear message from our workshops on LGBTIQ+ rights, women's rights & non-discrimination:
✊Everyone should have the same respect, no matter their gender!
The rise of the far-right poses a dangerous threat to all human rights in the EU.

‘We should celebrate the courage they had.'
MEP @engerer calls on the authorities to drop the charges against the #ElHiblu3.
He joins a widening sea of voices including Archbishop Scicluna & @MarieLouise_MT who described the case as a ‘farce’.

MEP @engerer: "I’m speechless at the AG’s decision to prosecute two minors & a teenager as terrorists for seeking to escape from the unimaginable horror of Libya where migrants are tortured, raped and abused.”
“This injustice will shame Malta globally.”

#ElHiblu3 to face terrorism charges as AG issues bill of indictment. In 2019 they were 15, 16 and 19, part of a group of migrants who were rescued at sea. All they did was act as interpretors.
We are proud to be part of the defence team wt Mifsud & Mifsud.

In the panel discussion MEP @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. We need to organise ourselves against this”
