Serbia is facing a political crisis. We urge its institutions to address electoral irregularities detected by domestic and international observers, in their entirety & without delay. The crisis must be resolved peacefully. The government must stop acting in bad faith. @SCHIEDER
We strongly deplore that at today’s meeting of representatives of EU member states no joint position could be reached on better protecting platform workers. It’s time to deliver on worker's rights! Full statement from @gualminielisa 👇 Deliver on worker's rights, urge S&Ds after EU…
People or profits❓Ms @kajakallas, tomorrow you will have an important choice to make. You must stand by the side of Deliveroo riders and Uber drivers who demand basic social rights. The exploitation must stop. Today, we expect Estonia to back the Platform Work Directive
If Finland is serious about making 🇪🇺 a better place for workers and companies, tomorrow it must back the Platform Work Directive. @PetteriOrpo this is your chance to do right by millions of gig workers, while protecting honest companies from unfair competition. @gualminielisa
Reunid@s con la fundadora de Las Abuelas de la Plaza de Mayo. Apoyamos a las organizaciones de derechos humanos para seguir indagando los crímenes de la dictadura Argentina. Velaremos para que no haya retrocesos en esta materia ni en igualdad de género. @MonicaSilvanaG

Tonight we mourn the loss of a great European and a great Socialist. Jacques Delors passed away this morning at the age of 98. He was undoubtedly one of the greatest statesmen of our times, someone who laid the foundations of the European Union we know today. He was a European visionary who…
