A fresh seat projection for the next European Parliament’s composition highlighs a factor that not many have factored in yet: there was no surge of the far-right, but the composition of the Parliament has changed and it leans more toward the right
A🧵:
Their role will be essential in advocating for #inclusive policies, strong #antiracism frameworks and ensuring the voices of those in the margins of society are heard and #represented.
Now, more than ever, it is essential to amplify the involvement of civil society in the decision-making process and actively counter the shrinking of the civic space in this #environment.
Sunday's results of the European #Elections are anticipated to reflect the status quo and confirm #Brusselssowhite, with #diversity percentages expected to remain stagnant. This will likely impact policies crucial to the lives of racialised people across #Europe.
1/I am excited to share highlights from my recent interview with @guardian
where I discussed the findings of our latest research on diversity trends within the European Parliament.
For the the @guardian on how the European Parliament is profoundly out of step with the demographic reality of Europe.
The alarming statistics must change. The #EUelections2024 vote is our chance to speed up progress and choose a #EuropeForAll.

Sudan is literally on the verge of officially being declared a famine, millions at risk of starvation.
Yet people are already dying of hunger right now and we know it’s only going to get worse.
There’s no need to wait for an official famine declaration, let’s take action now.
Today marks the anniversary of the Siege of Sarajevo. The “official” start of the Bosnian Genocide.
Almost 4 years of being cut off from the world, from food and water and electricity. 4 years of daily shelling, bombing, and terrorising campaigns of the city and its residents.
We are deeply dismayed by today's @Europarl_EN resolution on Gaza.
Despite the horrific death toll, evidence of war crimes, Israel's relentless attacks on civilians, and extremely worrying risk of genocide, MEPs chose to call for a conditional ceasefire.

Italian journalist #RaffaeleOriani resigned from @repubblica, decrying the unjustyfiable (lack of) reporting on the Gaza massacres by #Repubblica & European mainstream media. Such coverage may contribute to endorsing the unfolding "monstrosity of this century" in Gaza.
The only tangible solution to end the violence, the pain, and the atrocities is a #countdown2ceasefire.
Join @c2ceasefire campaign to call for a ceasefire.
Join our campaign @c2ceasefire.
The Foundation calls the world to join it in asking for a permanent ceasefire in the ongoing war in Gaza. We wish for a New Year that brings peace and a resolution to all conflicts across the world.
