ENIL and the team of MEP Smiszek agreed that legislation on legal capacity needs to be in line with supported decision-making and the right to privacy. When being implemented, the Hague Convention has to be adjusted to the #UNCRPD shaped EU legal context. #DisabilityRights

I don not want to support the fascist Elon Musk any longer. Therefore, I will terminate my X account on the 31st of January.

Wir müssen darüber sprechen, was gerecht ist – und was nicht. Es kann doch nicht sein, dass eine alleinerziehende Mutter in Teilzeit mehr für die gesetzliche Krankenversicherung aufbringt als jemand, der mit Aktien Millionen verdient. Diese Schieflage müssen wir korrigieren.

[Robert Habeck @roberthabeck]

Was ist gerecht bei der Finanzierung von Gesundheit und Pflege? Bürgerräte könnten Antworten finden. Unser Angebot: Ehrlich die Probleme benennen und mutig neue Wege gehen – statt zu hoffen, dass Nichtstun alles löst. Nur gemeinsam schaffen wir Lösungen, die wirklich tragen.

The hearing with Commissioner designate Lahbib is over. We call on @hadjalahbib and @vonderleyen to urgently reverse the impression that disability is being completely sidelined as a political topic.

Avoid the sheltered employment trap!

Companies and social services try to push disabled people into sheltered employment, even when they are well qualified.

This very thing happened to Florian.

"If there's no political leader for Equality, we won't advance"
The words of our Director @catherinenaugh during #FreedomDrive, calling downgrade of Equality a "huge step backwards".
But it's not finished yet.
The @Europarl_EN must pressure President @vonderleyen to adapt.
