Quote of the week by Carlos Zorrinho on the upcoming ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly:
❤5
The EU and the ACP Countries have just decided to extend by 4 months the old Cotonou Agreement. We cannot accept that a single member state jeopardizes a partnership of over one hundred countries from four different continents. We will send a clear message to the European Council and to the government of Poland: let’s stop holding the post-Cotonou Agreement hostage. Let’s give us all a chance for a better future.

It is time for Poland to lift their block on the post-Cotonou treaty
Political and economic relations between the EU and the African, Caribbean and Pacific community have been held hostage by Hungary and now Poland. This must end, writes Carlos Zorrinho.

Young Europeans are not free labour!
We’ve always said that and we will keep fighting for paid internships, despite all opposition. No employer, no company, no politician, no government institution should ever take advantage of young people’s skills.
Unpaid internships must become a thing of the past!
Share our message on this International Youth Day if you agree!

Against the backdrop of the EPP’s recent cynical manoeuvres to water-down the Green Deal, it is pivotal for our Group that the climate portfolio remains in the hands of the S&D family.
Mr Hoekstra can expect tough EP hearing.

50 years ago today, Augusto Pinochet led military officers to overthrow socialist President Salvador Allende and installed a military dictatorship in Chile.
Two decades of terror and brutal repression followed. Thousands of innocent people lost their lives and many more were kidnapped, jailed, tortured, disappeared.
Under Pinochet, who died unpunished in 2006, Chile went through its darkest and bloodiest era.
50 years later, we continue to pay tribute to President Allende and to all Chileans victims of the far right.
We remember.

On September 20 from 19 to 20, we will commemorate Salvador Allende, together with Senator Maria Isabel Allende Bussi, his daughter.

🔴Happening now in Strasbourg - the 🇪🇺Parliament debates decent, affordable housing for all, a much needed discussion that our Group has fought for.
Over the past 13 years, house prices have increased in 24 EU countries, while rent has increased in 26 EU countries.
We call for a strong European plan for social investment in housing.

Poland voted for change. The majority of people have sent a clear message – they do not want a national-conservative autocratic party like PiS in their government anymore!
This was clearly a vote for hope, for women’s rights, for equality, for a free media and a country that holds rule of law as its core value.
The country needs progressive forces to form a pro democratic and open government to take it out of its authoritarian drift.
Poland’s place is back at the heart of Europe!
