When I moved to Brussels people shouted at me: ‘we don’t cycle here’.
After 15 years of battle it becomes the new normal… 💛🚲

Sur les événements récents de Ceuta et face aux images de chaos, au-delà des slogans répétitifs de l’extrême droite, les exigences du réalisme sont claires : 1/ la diplomatie avec le Maroc, dans un moment de tensions vives ; 2/ la solidarité européenne avec l’Espagne, au lieu des agitations stériles ; 3/ le déploiement des forces de sécurité pour assurer la souveraineté, comme l’a fait le gouvernement Sánchez avec sang-froid.

Les résultats sont là, avec 48 000 migrants déjà repartis vers le Maroc, soit près de 80 % des arrivées des derniers jours.

Le moment est aussi de penser aux plus de cinquante personnes qui ont péri en mer dans ce moment de désordre.

Ne laissons pas l’extrême droite identitaire globale poser les termes du débat. Regardons les réalités en face, même lorsqu’elles sont complexes et douloureuses.

[Pedro Sánchez @sanchezcastejon]

La solidaridad y la empatía son opcionales.

El respeto a los tratados europeos y a los datos, no.

Europe’s biggest frying pan was never the plan.

The original Schuman design included a central canopy for shade, shelter and life.

@SmetPascal and @Vooruitbrussels want it built.

LGBTIQ+ rights are human rights. They are not negotiable.

Pascal Smet puts protection from discrimination, hate and violence at the heart of Europe’s equality agenda and backs local authorities working to make those rights real in every community.

“The socialists face a major challenge: we must not confuse the means with the objective.

Regulating Airbnb is a means. Making affordable housing a fundamental right for all must remain the objective.”

✨ Emotional plenary at the @EU_CoR.

The Mayor Paweł Adamowicz Award was given to @imamoglu_int, a true defender of democracy.

From procurement reform and water resilience to enlargement and child wellbeing : cities and regions keep democracy strong. 🇪🇺💙

Belgium is a constitutional democracy governed by the rule of law. No one is above the law, and judicial processes must remain free from political pressure or foreign interference. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom to interfere in independent proceedings.
We stand with @conner_rousseau in defending Belgium’s democratic institutions and sovereignty.

@GLBouchez Peut-être accepter une fois son invitation de la rencontrer et constater que c’est une femme ouverte, tolérant et qui a choisi de porter un foulard. Jamais objectiver sur base d’un symbole. Et voir tout le contexte. Sa réplique est une réponse à une attaque. Soyez libéral!

Now we understand the secrecy: from behind the simplification smoke a MONSTER plan emerges to swallow cohesion policy and crack its backbone by nationalising and centralising
