The weather in Brussels today reflects the general mood after the elections.

Darker times lie ahead

@NSchmitPES is rightfully pointing to what the @eucommission has completely forgotten to address after the farmers’ protests: fair income! 80% of the CAP funds go to the 20% biggest and richest farmers, and that needs to change.

So let get me this straight. Israel drops leaflets in Northern Gaza today basically saying that if you're still in the area you are considered a terrorist and will most likely die and they don't care if you are disabled, elderly, or have no where else to go 1/

[Khaled Fahmy @khaledfahmy11]

The Israeli Ex-Deputy foreign minister gave this incredibly revealing interview explaining Israel's order to 1.1 million inhabitants to move from northern Gaza to the southern half of the tiny strip.
Forget the part where he talks about the humanitarian corridor (which had been targeted leading to the death of defenseless civilians who thought they were escaping to safety).
What is amazing in revealing the logic of ethnic cleansing is when says: "This is thought out... There is a huge expanse, almost endless space in the Sinai desert, just on the other side of Gaza. ... The idea is for them to leave over for the open areas where we, and the international community, will prepare the infrastructure, ten cities, with food and water... just like for the refugees of Syria that fled the butchering of Asad.... There is a way to receive them all on the other side for temporary time on [sic.] Sinai... and Egypt will have to play ball."
What is amazing here is not only explicitly equating what Israel is doing with the "butchering of Asad", but how revealing his language is of the Israeli blueprint of ethnic cleansing: instigate atrocities that would frighten the civilian population; "advise" them to leave their homes in order to avoid being caught in the crossfire; provide "safe" corridors that turn out anything but; promise them that this is only a temporary measure and that they would be allowed to return back to their homes once the hostilities cease; and tell the neighboring countries to "play ball" and effectively tell these countries that this is their responsibility. And once the helpless, frightened civilians move with their meagre belongings, and after they settle in their "temporary" new camps, they find out that there is nothing temporary about their new situation, that they can't go back home, that Israel has sealed the borders, demolished their homes and confiscated their property. This is what happened in 1948 and 1967. To the letter. But now we have it explicitly spelt out by a high ranking Israeli official: we will ethnically cleanse the Gaza Strip.

A question for Matthew: is it possible to have a future in journalism if you’re not a white man called Matthew? 🤔

The price of being environmentally conscious💸

I went to a traiteur today. To my surprise, I was expected to pay extra for the weight of my tupper - almost 2x the price!!

They told me they cannot deduct the additional weight - you must pay to avoid waste🤯

Ridiculous!

@MontellanoJavi 🤣🤣🤣

I know, I cannot believe it either…

It is sunny in Brussels

I had forgotten how it feels

Cherish the next 30min, because that’s how long it will last

@MontellanoJavi And the fossil fuel industry would be too “aplataná” to lobby 🤣

@MontellanoJavi @AlbaGilCa Tuvimos un mes de mucho calor y cuando empezó a hacer malo me dije “oye qué bien, este calor no es normal”… pero después de 3 semanas así juro que me estoy haciendo adicta a la vitamina D
