Honorée d'avoir été nommée négociatrice du règlement sur le cloud européen (Cloud and AI Development Act #CADA) pour @left.eu. Un enjeu stratégique : reprendre le contrôle de nos données, réduire nos dépendances et construire des infrastructures souveraines, sûres et soutenables, voilà mon combat.

Despite speaking for over an hour today, Ursula von der Leyen didn't actually have much to say ❌ No climate justice ❌ Nothing to fight the cost of living ❌ No action against genocide #SOTEU2026 #SOTEU

🧵Since 2012, Kurdish activists have been holding a vigil in front of the Council of Europe calling for release of the Kurdish revolutionary leader of PKK (The Kurdistan Workers' Party) Abdullah Öcalan. With my colleagues of @left.eu I attended the vigil in Strasbourg.

The Returns Regulation has been approved by the coalition of the EPP and the far-right, with the complicity of the liberals. A disgrace. The Left will always resist these racist and xenophobic policies.

🧵The European Parliament is a strange place. We debate Cuba but not Israeli crimes. High Representative Kallas is very selective with her concerns about human rights violations. She can't see those in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, or the US, but when Cuba, Venezuela or Iran want to own

These are the people the European Union is honouring for their 'commitment to European ideals' today. The European Order of Merit should go to real working heroes 🛠️ Not tax evaders, austerity chiefs, and cardinals.

Ten years ago the Sicilian Mafia attempted to murder Giuseppe Antoci. Today he fights back as an MEP for The Left. Fighting the scourge of the mafia, organised crime, and political corruption, is the fight of The Left ✊

Nu rullas årtionden av misslyckad privatisering av Storbritanniens järnväg tillbaka. Steg för steg samlas tågtrafiken i statliga ”Great British Railways”. Ansvar för spår och trafik i en enda organisation. Något att lära av för en ny rödgrön svensk regering. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Les IA comme Claude Mythos d’Anthropic posent des enjeux majeurs de cybersécurité et de souveraineté. Face aux modèles US🇺🇸 et chinois🇨🇳, l’UE🇪🇺 doit bâtir ses propres capacités stratégiques souveraines en matière de recherche avancée des vulnérabilités et de cyber-sécurité.

Startede dagen med en spændende snak om, hvad vi kan lære af de danske erfaringer med diskussionen om indførsel af en formueskat. Herefter deltog jeg i en aktion for kravet om, at EUs regler for dyrevelfærd også skal gælde for produkter, som importeres til EU.

A Comissão Europeia propôs fim dos programas na saúde no orçamento europeu. O Parlamento Europeu votou mais orçamento para a saúde. E o Conselho Europeu? Países exigem reforço da saúde, mas, nada se sabe do governo português. O mesmo que ia resolver os problemas do SNS em 60 dias

EU leaders just decided yet again that they will take no action against the ethnic cleansing of Palestine and Lebanon. They chose to undermine our democracy, all to defend Benjamin Netanyahu's regime. The Left leads the way - suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement now!

Eurooppalainen kansalaisaloite EU:n ja Israelin välisen vapaakauppasopimuksen jäädyttämiseksi on saavuttanut miljoona allekirjoitusta vain 3 kuukaudessa! Tämä on historiallinen saavutus ja osoittaa miten moni haluaa Euroopalta vahvoja toimia kansanmurhaa, apartheidia & ihmisoikeusloukkauksia vastaan

Orbanin tappio on todella iloinen uutinen koko Euroopan kannalta. Se osoittaa, että autoritaarinen oikeisto on mahdollista voittaa. Myös EU:n toimintakyvyn sekä esim. Ukrainan tukiratkaisujen kannalta tämä tulos on hyvin tärkeä. 1/3

Do you see this voting list? It shows that The Left is the only political group in the European Parliament to actively oppose the ridiculous EU-US Trade 'Deal' The US gets 0% tariffs, in return the EU pays 15% tariffs and is forced to buy €1tn+ in US oil, gas and weapons

In her address to the European Parliament this morning, Ursula von der Leyen once again failed to condemn US and Israeli massacres of civilians from Tehran to Beirut. Not one mention of the bombing of Minab school which killed over 150 people, most of them schoolchildren.

Today the European Parliament adopted the wrong answer to the housing crisis: 💰tax cuts for property developers 🏚️evictions for the poorly housed Our MEPs carried out an action just before the vote: the right makes profits for the rich, The Left builds houses.

Next week the European Parliament will propose these measures to tackle the housing crisis in Europe: 💰Tax breaks for the rich 🏚️evictions for the poor The Housing Committee's report is a lobbyist's dream, and a nightmare for working people.

Another pathetic act by the European Commission to bend the knee to Trump and his plans to build beachfront property on the graveyard of a genocide. The Left abhors the Commission's involvement in the so-called 'Board of Peace' and the new colonial regime for Gaza.

A la Cour de Justice de l’Union 🇪🇺 pour soutenir, au nom de @left.eu une activiste des droits humains dans sa plainte contre le parlement. Il lui interdit l’accès à l’institution pour 2 ans parce qu’elle a envoyé des avions en papier lors du vote du funeste pacte asile/migration. Décision lamentable

Early this morning, Israeli forces destroyed the United Nations' UNRWA Headquarters in Jerusalem in another breach of international law by the fugitive Netanyahu. Will the European Union issue another 'statement of concern' or will we finally see sanctions on this rogue state?
