All 👀 on the #Glyphosate vote!

A litmus test to see whether the #EU takes a progressive path or a regressive direction at the expense of workers, future generations, and our planet.

Dieci anni fa, il 3 ottobre 2013, dopo il terribile naufragio di Lampedusa (366 morti) il governo lanciava l'operazione di soccorso Mare nostrum. Oggi, con quasi 2000 morti da inizio anno, vengono invocati blocchi navali e si regalano soldi e motovedette all'autoritaria Tunisia.

Of all superpowers, the one I'd really love to have is the ability of appearing out of thin air in distant places. Like Ursula @vonderleyen can do.

.@E_Somaglia: condizionalità sociale, una straordinaria conquista che però resta incompleta se non si affronta l'urgenza di un sistema di sanzioni efficaci e un coordinamento tra le autorità responsabili dei controlli sulle condizioni di lavoro.
