🏡 ...and that you will appoint a #Housing Commissioner and develop a European Affordable Housing Plan – the #EurocitiesPulse Mayors Survey 2024 shows this is a top priority for mayors: https://t.co/gihCJX5RQ3

Yesterday, the @Europarl_EN approved the Buildings Performance Directive. This is a major step for energy-efficient, decarbonised, and healthier buildings, and thus for fair, inclusive, sustainable cities.

Sono perplessa.Qual è il rigore giornalistico che fa aprire i TG RAI del pranzo con la morte di una bimba inglese malata incurabile e non con i neonati morti a #Gaza tra le bombe x la mancanza di corrente alle incubatrici?

I reiterate my appeal for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, together with the unconditional release of hostages & the delivery of relief at a level corresponding to the dramatic needs of the people in Gaza, where a humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding in front of our eyes.

[Grace O'Sullivan @GraceOSllvn]

Horrendous scenes unfolding in Gaza again tonight. A telecomms blackout means we will only find out far too late the damage and death that has occurred.

I fear world leaders have failed the children of Gaza by not enacting the humanitarian ceasefire that so many had pleaded for.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I repeat my call for a humanitarian ceasefire in the Middle East, the unconditional release of all hostages, and the delivery of life-saving supplies at the scale needed.

Everyone must assume their responsibilities.

This is a moment of truth.

History will judge us all.

Cities grapple with pressing social disparities. Yet, local governments remain committed to foster inclusivity, ensuring that all residents can thrive and find their place in the rapidly evolving urban landscape.

Negli ultimi anni non era in vigore la “vera” legge Fornero, ma una versione un po’ più morbida, perché impediva che i requisiti per la pensione fossero agganciati all’ aspettativa di vita ( = più a lungo si vive, più tardi si va in pensione).

A ripristinare la versione “dura” della legge Fornero ci hanno pensato, in questa legge di bilancio, Meloni e Salvini: cioè i due politici che in questi anni sono passati dal 4% al 30% giurando solennemente che una volta al governo avrebbero abolito la legge Fornero.

🇪🇸 #Spagna — il #PSOE e #Sumar hanno raggiunto un accordo programmatico per formare un nuovo governo progressista:
📌riduzione della giornata di lavoro a salario invariato
📌piano shock contro la disoccupazione giovanile
📌+20% di edilizia popolare
📌aggiornamento della legge sul cambiamento climatico
📌ampliamento dei congedi parentali per figli 0-3 anni, puntando a garantire a fine legislatura l’accesso all’educazione pubblica per tutti i bambini di due anni
📌riforma fiscale che tassi di più le banche e le grandi compagnie energetiche

It was an incredible experience to share insights on what the housing crisis entails for young people.

The energy and enthusiasm in the room were truly inspiring, and I'm honoured to have been a part of this event.

Thank you again for this wonderful opportunity, @mgoudis!

A young person has the right to afford building a life for themselves, independently.

Thanks to the participants from all over EU that took part on the 8th Congress of Young Europeans (Thessaloniki) on the topic of Independent living : the defining struggle of this generation🌆

[Grace O'Sullivan @GraceOSllvn]

In the absence of any real humanitarian leadership from the EU, this morning I called for the UN Secretary General @antonioguterres to address the European Parliament.

Only he has had the strength to call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza now.

[MSF International @MSF]

We are horrified by the recent Israeli bombing of Ahli Arab Hospital in #Gaza City, which was treating patients and hosting displaced Gazans. Hundreds of people have reportedly been killed. This is a massacre. It is absolutely unacceptable...
