A pleasure to meet with parlamentarians from Junts per Catalunya in the Catalan parliament today.
We agree on many things & one of these are that the people of
#Catalonia
& the
#FaroeIslands
have the right to self-determination.

Today is two years since the independence referendum in
#Catalonia
#1Oct
.
Wheter you are for or against
#independence
, a peaceful
#referendum
should never end with police violence and politicians in prison.
This threat against
#democracy
in
#Europe
must stop.

A trial on democracy begins today. 12 elected politicians and civil society leaders are in a Spanish courtroom for defending the voting rights of the people. The future of the people of
#Catalonia
should of course be decided through a democratic referendum – not by a few judges🎗️

Welcome to the
#FaroeIslands
😊🇫🇴 Yes, of course
#Scotland
can do the same ... and more 👍
I’m currently in a country of 51,000 people.
They have their own broadcasting company, super fast internet, mobile network, next to no natural resources other than fish, a growing economy and their own language and culture.
Please don’t tell me Scotland couldn’t manage this ✋

Advocate General of the European Court of

states that MEPs mandate is acquired only from voters & cannot be conditional on any subsequent formality.
Hope the

We have several good and charming restaurants in the Faroe Islands. One of these is Áarstova.
Here is their beautiful boat-table which is made partly of a Faroese wooden boat.
Perfect setting for a cozy evening.

"People care about their rights, values & freedoms." Yes!
But today the
#Spanish
parliament has passed a new law allowing the government to close websites & intervene on social media without a court decision.
Yes to
#RuleOfLaw
. No to
#digital
#censorship
in
#Europe
.
#EUpol
People care about their rights, values and freedoms.
The
#ruleoflaw
is our foundation and can never be compromised.
We must ensure that it is respected and upheld everywhere, with every country treated equally.

6 years since the

in

🏴 Went to Edinburgh to be part of this historic moment for our neighbours & the

Promises of extensive powers to the Scottish parliament - if people voted no - were broken already the day after the election.

Today is Iceland‘s Sovereignty Day.
On 1. December 1918 our neighbor
#Iceland
was recognized as a sovereign nation & state in a personal union with Denmark. An important step on their way to full independence.
Iceland became a republic in 1944.
Gleðilegan fullveldisdag! 🇮🇸
