Een overweldigende meerheid is tegen een Nexit. Heel goed nieuws. Lidmaatschap van de Europese Unie verrijkt ons cultureel en economisch. Het vergroot onze wereld en versterkt onze stem daarin. 🇪🇺🌍

Ceci n’est pas une asielcrisis. Dit is spektakel voor de bühne van een regeringspartij die druk voelt op de rechterflank. Aan die electorale belangen worden mensenrechten en de stabiliteit van het land grif opgeofferd.

The attitude of PM Rutte and Minister Hoekstra to Italy and Spain was blunt and heartless by all standards, nordic or southern. It rightfully draws sharp criticism at home as well. Read the article in @POLITICOEurope 👇 @D66

To conclude; the reason why we are here as an @Europarl_EN delegation. National elections are European elections. The outcomes determine who sits on the EU Council. They have to be 100% fair and honest, and the European Parliament should have the means to investigate doubts.

Irony: Polish government has challenged Rule of Law conditionality for the EU budget (no ⚖️= no 💶) before the CJEU, but that same Polish government does not recognise the authority of the CJEU. So no need for @Vonderleyen to wait for CJEU ruling then to apply RoL conditionality

Either a spyware company itself spied on journalists and opposition figures, or someone in government circles did. Question is: which of the two had the motive, the means and the opportunity?

A sovereign Europe needs a robust parliamentary democracy. The European Parliament must step up its game. It must break the paralysing intergovernmentalism that is holding Europe back, and actively be the force for change. Read my new book at:

We kunnen morgen goed EU-beleid voor vluchtelingen en migratie hebben. De lidstaten kunnen ‘gewoon’ met een democratische meerderheid besluiten dat we dit goed gaan regelen. Dat weigeren ze en de ramp in #Moria is voor hun rekening.

De democratie en rechtsstaat in Hongarije zijn zo goed als dood. Daar heeft jarenlang wegkijken van Orbans bewind wel voor gezorgd. Ik zou willen dat er net zo streng werd opgetreden tegen schenders van de rechtsstaat, als tegen overtreders van de begrotingsdiscipline.

If member states no longer accept the primacy of EU law and the authority of its highest court, the EU is effectively disintegrating. There is a full blown rule of law crisis, yet the #EUCO continues to duck the issue. It should be on top of the agenda @eucopresident

This means, de facto, that Romania, like Poland before it, has called into question the primacy of European law over national law.

“Merkel says ‘all sides’ must make compromises to break budget deadlock”. Wrong. Compromises can be made on money, not on the rule of law. Giving in to corrupted autocrats is not a ‘compromise”, it is a sell out of European values.

Mensen redden strafbaar maken. Nieuw dieptepunt voor de VVD. In plaats daarvan zijn er dringend legale en veilige routes naar Europa nodig. Voor wie op de vlucht is èn voor wie hier kan werken. En terugkeerbeleid voor wie niet mag blijven. Effectief. Pragmatisch. En humaan.

Vanochtend spraken Europarlementariërs én Tweede Kamerleden in Den Haag o.a. over de vraag: missen we niet de instrumenten om de corruptie van Orbán aan te pakken? Zo’n instrument is er gelukkig wel. De Europese geldkraan kan dicht: geen rechtsstaat = geen EU geld.

If the use of #Predator is illegal in Greece, will the Greek authorities give top priority to investigating the matter? Has all possible evidence been secured, ao at the Athena officies of #Intellexa ? Will the Greek authorities invite @Europol to assist with the investigation?
