@shaneheneghan@EuropeElects I think the groups are so hungry for MEPs after the elections that that can override even vetoes. But I don't get how an 11 year old party hasn't gotten around to joining a Europarty yet - surely Labour can't still be vetoing that at PES level at this stage
@BrightCircuit@EuropeElects Yes that feels more and more true lately. I don't really understand how the Soc Dems have not sorted out joining a European Level party at this stage. Maybe it is not agreed internally yet.
Busy weekend at the @europeangreens#Lisbon Congress. Three Irish candidates for EU positions, five resolutions and green leaders and members from across the continent sharing ideas.
This is an absolute disaster. Taking away money from ready-to-go public transport projects so that they can chuck more cash at new roads.
The exact opposite direction we should be going.
(Plus: the more you delay projects, the more they cost. Every time.)
Historical image BELOW! The political parties that have built and governed Europe since its inception are being sidelined in the EU Parliament today. They bear responsibility for their own demise.
Today's vote on the Omnibus Simplification Directive not only dismantles the Green Deal but also redefines the political majority governing Europe from now until 2029.
As of tomorrow, von der Leyen's political majority will be the right and far-right only, with devastating repercussions for the EU's economy, society, and democratic foundations - while giving Trump's administration a free hand in Brussels.
It's a short-sighted, self-defeating move for the EU EUCO injecting the same unpredictability that the Simplification agenda was meant to avoid!
We're hiring!
The Party is looking for a Press and Strategic Communications Officer to help us shape and get our message out more effectively.

The government's new #Drone Framework has totally missed the point and won't protect the public from noise and other issues
