@IdoiaMendia Europe can lead with examples on the UN Convention.

At the European Parliament, we need to focus on building support among Member States to bring the process of the Convention forward.

Intergenerational solidarity needs to be a core principle of the upcoming Convention on older people, says @IdoiaMendia at #AGEconf26 #OlderPeople #Rights

[EP Interest Group Solidarity between Generations @IntergroupAge]

Marc Angel emphasises that we need a structure for discussion intergenerational solidarity between the institutions. Decisions today have an impact on future generations, especially when thinking of green regulations.

Today is the EU Day of #SolidaritybetweenGenerations. Marc Angel hosts an event on mainstreaming intergenerational fairness today!

Our health systems are nothing without our health workers.

Across the EU, we are missing 1.2M health workers.

Shortages lead to higher job strain, discouraging new talent.

We need urgent action to protect our social model.

In dieser #StrassbourgWoche traf ich auch die Kommissarin und ehemalige Außenministerin Belgiens. Es ist ein harter Kampf, die Stimme von Menschen zu vertreten, die von Diskriminierung betroffen sind. Mit @hadjalahbib habe ich eine Verbündete 🙏

[Katrin Langensiepen MEP/GreensEFA @k_langensiepen]

SKANDAL!

Die @EU_Commission streicht die Antidiskriminierungsrichtlinie aus ihrem Programm.

Damit folgt die #EU dem gefährlichen Trend der #USA.

Menschenrechte werden per Federstrich beerdigt.

What do #ageism and #ableism have in common? Last week, @k_langensiepen hosted an event with Dr Mahler, @IE_OlderPersons. We discussed
🧑‍🦯 Accessibility
💻 digital exclusion leading to deprivation of rights
☝️ supported decision-making
👇 Disability seen as a sign of decline

[EP Interest Group Solidarity between Generations @IntergroupAge]

@k_langensiepen @IE_OlderPersons @NenaGeorgantzi @AGE_PlatformEU @Marine_Uldry @MyEDF @IdoiaMendia highlighted there are new profiles of ageing, and we are late to adapt to them. Despite difficult majorities, it is important to find agreement for a strategy on age and a more ambitious Disability Strategy

[AGE Platform Europe @AGE_PlatformEU]

Starting today, AGE will closely follow the Commissioners' Hearings.
We are concerned by the lack of a standalone Commissioner for #Equality and the omission of an EU #AgeEquality Strategy in the mission letters.

How can the EU create more fiscal space to invest in future generations? The current generation is responsible for creating systemic solutions, making sure resources are redistributed fairly #SolidarityBetweenGenerations
