Interesting days in #Madrid: We discussed strategies against far-right narratives together with progressive deputies from the EU, I got to know the work of our office in #Spain 🇪🇦 and of @FES_Democracy better and I also saw one of Europe's most beautiful Parliaments. :)

Deutschland diskutiert längere Arbeitszeiten – aus der Zeit gefallen. Statt Beschäftigte als faul zu bezeichnen, belegen Daten das Gegenteil. Die Debatte ist eine Chance: für mehr Tarifbindung & echte Sozialpartnerschaft, meint unsere Kollegin Susan Javad. https://t.co/MfKCeC5VpW

Entgegen dem europäischen Trend soll in Deutschland die tägliche Arbeitszeit verlängert werden. Warum die aktuelle Debatte ein Rückschritt ist.

What an exciting way to finish my very first day in my new role. Participated in a great event on 50 years of Transición and had a chance to see the exhibition "España en Libertad. 50 Años" at the Spanish Embassy in Berlin and learn more about the Spanish fight for democracy 🇪🇦🇪🇺

Freed, at last. Many more political prisoners left in #Belarus.
Today in Vilnius, we welcomed heroes freed after years of torture in KGB prisons. Thanks to tireless 🇺🇸 efforts & unwavering 🇪🇺 support, they’re no longer behind bars, though forced into exile. Now we must help them heal—and keep fighting for those still imprisoned.

Today I spoke for the very last time on a panel about the situation in #Belarus. Time to move on after 5 years as the Belarus Representative of @FESonline soon. I witnessed the darkest, yet also the most inspiring period of the modern history of independent #Belarus. Дзякуй!

According to the @ituc Global Rights Index, Belarus ranks among the 10 worst countries for workers in 2025. The regime systematically persecutes workers and independent trade unions. Since 2020, union leaders have been jailed (29 activists remain imprisoned) and unions dissolved.

Insecure or precarious work is not inevitable. It was created intentionally, by dismantling or circumventing employment law regulations, argue @mirkofes and Monica Tepfer. https://t.co/Svvh3xj3H6

For years, Eastern Europe was largely seen as a back-office #tech outsourcing hub. Today, #Ukraine is spearheading a new wave of #defence start-ups, writes @bostojkovski. https://t.co/PTpgJqyDuG
