Years of divisive and racist rhetoric from the right wing have fueled and emboldened riots in the UK. It's time for politicians and public figures to acknowledge their role in this and be held accountable for their words

[POLITICOEurope @POLITICOEurope]

The British government is investigating whether “state actors” stoked the far-right riots.

On 13 June, the Council of the EU adopted its position on the Commission’s proposal for a revision of the Victims’ Rights Directive. VSE and the following 49 organisations call for a robust implementation of this directive!

In our view @X doesn’t comply with the DSA in key transparency areas. It misleads users, fails to provide adequate ad repository and blocks access to data for researchers. It’s the first time we issue preliminary findings under the Digital Services Act. 👇 https://t.co/WtJ65GPwQY

[Cornelia Ernst @ErnstCornelia]

With the vote on the #Migration Pact the European Parliament will bury the individual right to #asylum. Everyone who supports this fatal package is responsible for the normalization of
right-wing narratives in the #EU. It is a question of political decency to vote against it.

The @coe @CommissionerHR gave SWs a Valentine's Day present today. In her position paper, @Dunja_Mijatovic recognises that SWs rights are human rights, and the report represents a major human rights victory! (1/5)🧵https://t.co/IeV0FJeuTU

We welcome and celebrate with local activists the news that the Greek parliament has adopted an historic bill granting marriage and adoption rights to same-sex couples. Read our statement with @NELFA_LGBT: https://t.co/VhvGB8kqNA

[ILGA-Europe @ILGAEurope]

LGBTI people and specifically #LBTI women victims of gender-based violence do not receive the protection they need in many member states. Recalling that the Directive only sets minimum standards, we call on member states to aim much higher in their implementation.

[ILGA-Europe @ILGAEurope]

The political agreement reached between the @Europarl_EN & the Council on the Directive on combating violence against #women and #domesticviolence marks an important step forward for inclusive approaches of protection from gender-based violence and domestic violence in the EU.

[Akram Kubanychbekov @akramkuban]

If the highlight is cyber violence, rape isn't criminalised . Waiting to see if Parliament was able to defend its other progressive proposals.

[Věra Jourová @VeraJourova]

Deal!

We have an agreement on combating #ViolenceAgainstWomen and domestic violence.

For the first time ever, we criminalise wide-spread forms of #cyberviolence, such as non-consensual sharing of intimate images.

Thank you @FitzgeraldFrncs @EvinIncir and @EU2024BE

[ILGA-Europe @ILGAEurope]

We join @Europarl_EN’s call for the @EU2024BE to prioritise the Commission's proposal on extending the list of EU crimes to hate speech and hate crime in their agenda. https://t.co/ncSqSVAVhj

[Akram Kubanychbekov @akramkuban]

Shameful agreement 🤦��♂️

[Platform for Undocumented Migrants (PICUM) @picum_ngo]

🧵 The #MigrationPact negotiations are over. As EU leaders are about to sell this as a "historic" reform of the migration system in Europe, we join other leading human rights orgs in denouncing its harms.

What this Pact will mean for people in practice 👇🏾

[Felipe González Morales @fglezmor]

Despite repeated warnings from UN human rights mechanisms, the European Parliament has moved forward with its reforms on migration and asylum, making the situation of migrants and asylum-seekers even harder than before.

[ECRE @ecre]

While populists call this day a "historic" day for EU migration and asylum, people with a conscience are noting the horrifying consequences of the #MigrationPact that will speed up deportations, expand "safe country concept" and see "solidarity" in building fences and walls.

Today at 12.30 we continue the negotiations on the #MigrationPact. It looks like the final agreement will contain most, if not all the demands of the Member States. 👇🏼
