All over Europe, house prices and rents keep rising. With a Commissioner for Housing, we are finally treating this issue with the urgency it demands. I’m looking forward to working with the new Commission on realizing decent and affordable housing for all Europeans.

[Celia Groothedde @CeliaGroothedde]

Mijn korte antwoord hierop is: lol.

Maar laten we een draadje toevoegen over wat Vooruits plannen met kwetsbare mensen zoal geweest zijn afgelopen jaren, soms specifiek van de broer van Elois Rousseau.

Spoiler: het is waar wij, als gezin vroeger in armoede, bang van waren. 1/

The #housingcrisis has deepened so much that we have heard clear calls from:
@TheProgressives
@GreensEFA
@Left_EU
Commissioner @NicolasSchmitEU
Mayors
@EnricoLetta

and President-candidate @vonderleyen that EU must offer a #NewHousingParadigm.

BREAKING: Ursula @vonderleyen has just been re-elected President of the @EU_Commission.

As part of a 4-party majority, we'll uphold the #EUGreenDeal, work on a social Europe for all & protect fundamental rights & the #RuleOfLaw.

The cordon sanitaire against the far-right holds.

Shout-out to @HousingEurope @AnsPersoons @kimvsparrentak @BarryAndrewsMEP @RadtkeMdEP and so many others who campaigned hard for the EU to take a more active role in this crisis; it looks like the hard work paid off!

Dankjewel @CathyMacharis. Ook de volgende 5 jaar wil ik werken aan een stad op kindermaat, een stad die groen is en ademt. 💚

Wanneer er één nazi aan tafel zit met drie disgenoten, dan zitten er vier nazi’s aan die tafel.
Wanneer er één racistische partij in het kabinet zit met drie coalitiepartners, dan zitten er vier racistische partijen in dat kabinet.

@VVD, @NwSocContract en @BoerBurgerB: hoe halen jullie het in godsnaam in jullie hoofd om met een racist in zee te gaan? Dachten jullie nu echt dat dit goed ging aflopen?

Chinese rommel die planeet om zeep helpt en gemaakt in vreselijke omstandigheden die je niet nodig hebt. Verkocht op verslavende app die ook enkel instant gratification van dient.
Je moet niet voor degrowth zijn om hier diep triest van te worden.

@EvaVlaar @DVanLangenhove There was nothing “supposedly” about these racist memes. They were hardcore racist and antisemitic messages. Racism is not just an opinion, it is a crime.

[Wout Van Caimere @caimerew]

@AASchapiro @valeriodeste Of course they are spinning. Before adoption they claimed it would kill their business model and they would pull out a lot of European cities.
They will nog target the national implementation of the rules with their lobby. Unions, politicians and Commission have a big task ahead.

[Bas Eickhout @BasEickhout]

In a nutshell: massive EU investments needed, nature restoration is vital and we finally need to address our food system. On all points conservatives, including @vonderleyen, are silent:

4 years of hard work, fighting for the rights of some of the most precarious workers in Europe and against the lobby of Uber and other platforms. I'm so happy and so proud!

[Kim van Sparrentak @kimvsparrentak]

🥳 We did it! A majority of EU Member States supports the platform work directive. Despite all the lobbying and Macron's and FDP's resistance, platform workers will finally have basic rights and protection against Uber, Bolt and Deliveroo. A huge win for the platform workers!

Yes! My airbnb law is officially adopted by the European Parliament! With these new rules, short term rental platforms have to share more data, to empower cities all over Europe to enforce their local rules.

A big step for affordable housing and liveable cities.

[Kim van Sparrentak @kimvsparrentak]

Opnieuw geen meerderheid voor de Europese platformwerkwet. De winsten van Uber en Deliveroo zijn voor Macron en de Duitse liberalen blijkbaar belangrijker dan de rechten van precaire werkenden. Ongelooflijk.

[Progress Lawyers @ProgressLawyers]

WE WON!

In a groundbreaking judgement, the Brussels Labour Court has decided that Deliveroo drivers are employees, not self-employed.

This is a huge victory for workers and trade unions around the world against platform companies trying to exploit them.

Just 24h before a crucial vote, #platformwork directive lead @gualminielisa spoke to @Euractiv to warn against the risk of a deal falling through

Macron “risks being the killer of Social Europe,” she said. “This is completely unacceptable [...] to me.”
