Zita Gurmai @zitagurmai.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Margaret Papandreou, a fighter and feminist leader, has died at 103. I met her only once, but some encounters stay with you. She was well over 90, yet full of energy, ideas and determination. Age is measured in years. What matters is the strength of one’s convictions. Rest in peace, Margaret. 🌹 010
Zita Gurmai @zitagurmai.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Congratulations to @magdalenaandersson.socialdemokraterna.se and @socialdemokraterna.bsky.social on their victory!🌹 Women swung left because the Social Democrats didn’t shy away from women’s issues—from feeling safe giving birth to healthcare&care services. Women’s issues are not side issues!💪🌹 000
Zita Gurmai @zitagurmai.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Democracy is lived in our communities—and increasingly online.

Zita Gurmai @zitagurmai.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Sweden can stop the far-right’s momentum today. I wish the Swedish Social Democrats all the best—not only to win the most votes, as they have in every election since 1918, but to return to government. 🌹🇸🇪 @magdalenaandersson.socialdemokraterna.se 010
Zita Gurmai @zitagurmai.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Emma Bonino was a giant and one of my personal heroes—a trailblazer for abortion rights, divorce and human rights. She fought for refugees and forgotten women around the world, even reporting herself after having an illegal abortion to help change Italy’s law. Rest in peace, Emma. 001
Zita Gurmai @zitagurmai.bsky.social · 08/09/2026The first woman to lead EDEK Cyprus is a real symbol of renewal. Sophia Christodoulou Makri is still just 27, but has already studied, volunteered and worked all across Europe. A committed feminist, she represents the fresh start the left needs in Cyprus. Congratulations, Sophia! 🌹🇨🇾 001
Zita Gurmai @zitagurmai.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Remembering Gloria Steinem: a fearless voice for women’s rights, equality and social justice. She showed that challenging injustice takes courage—and that change is possible. Her work continues to inspire generations. ✊🌹 000
Zita Gurmai @zitagurmai.bsky.social · 15/08/2026🌈 I knew Magnus Heunicke as a great partner in the fight for gender equality. Today at Copenhagen Pride, I discovered another talent: he’s a damn good DJ! 🎧🏳️🌈🌹 W @heunicke.bsky.social 📍 copenhagenpride.dk 020
Zita Gurmai @zitagurmai.bsky.social · 15/08/2026🌈 With Mette Frederiksen and Social Democratic leaders at Copenhagen Pride. Equality isn’t won once and for all.

Zita Gurmai @zitagurmai.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Important message from the victorious @bevcraig.bsky.social: it’s time to “move away from divisive politics that try to pit neighbour against neighbour.” Congratulations! Greater Manchester is in good hands. 🌹 @labouruk.bsky.social 000
Zita Gurmai @zitagurmai.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Fifteen years ago, the Utøya massacre shattered us all. Just days later, I spoke at the IUSY Summer Camp, which opened with a moving tribute to the young lives lost to hatred. The horror of that day remains as our responsibility to stand against hatred. We remember Utøya.We remember the victims.🌹🕯️ 000

Zita Gurmai @zitagurmai.bsky.social · 09/05/2026This Europe Day feels especially meaningful for me. After 16 years of Viktor Orbán, Hungary’s new Prime Minister was inaugurated today — and the new Speaker has ordered the EU flag to be raised again on the Parliament building. Happy Europe Day to everyone! 🇪🇺 000
Zita Gurmai @zitagurmai.bsky.social · 08/05/2026Discussed today at our Executive Meeting: concrete legislative wins for women’s rights in the European Parliament led by progressives, adoption of our policy papers, feedback from the Global Progressive Mobilisation & more : urls.fr/2k3mIg 💜 @pes-women.bsky.socialurls.frPES Women adopts key policy papers and marks recent legislative wins - PES WomenPES Women convened its Executive Meeting on 8 May 2026 to take stock of major recent wins for gender equality. 043
Zita Gurmai @zitagurmai.bsky.social · 08/05/2026David Attenborough has spent a lifetime teaching the world to respect nature. An important lessons is this: exploitation — of the planet or of people —always comes from the same mindset of domination and greed. A better world must be both greener and more equal. Happy 100th birthday, Sir David. 020
Zita Gurmai @zitagurmai.bsky.social · 04/05/202636 years ago today, Latvia declared its freedom from the all-powerful Soviet Union. Courage pays off! 🇱🇻 001

Zita Gurmai @zitagurmai.bsky.social · 26/04/202640 years since Chernobyl disaster. Chernobyl was more than a nuclear catastrophe. It exposed what happens when a system protects itself before it protects people, and when truth is delayed until the damage is done. Facts can be buried for a time, never defeated. Without truth, there is no safety. 010
Zita Gurmai @zitagurmai.bsky.social · 24/04/2026Great to see @coe.int SG raising the issue of online violence against women. @pace.coe.int overwhelmingly adopted my reports on #IstanbulConvention and #Consent — we all know that much more must be done, and that strong political focus is needed. 010
Zita Gurmai @zitagurmai.bsky.social · 24/04/2026I met Ania more than 20 years ago — the first woman SG of ECOSY (@YESocialist). Today, as Director of @feps-europe.eu, with 100+ publications and countless events behind her, she’s not only accomplished but a true ally. Proud of you @aniaskrzypek.bsky.social ❤️ 010

Zita Gurmai @zitagurmai.bsky.social · 21/04/2026I addressed the @PACE.coe.int plenary with a clear message: Violence against elected officials does not begin on the street—it is fuelled online. We must confront both together. The tools already exist, from GREVIO to the EU Digital Services Act. What we need now is the courage to use them. 000
Zita Gurmai @zitagurmai.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Congratulations to Andrea Bujdosó and Ágnes Forsthoffer on being nominated as Tisza Group Leader and the next Speaker of Parliament.

Zita Gurmai @zitagurmai.bsky.social · 15/04/2026I told @France24.com before the election that Péter Magyar would defeat Orbán. Being right is always satisfying — but even more so when it means Hungary turns the page. 000
Zita Gurmai @zitagurmai.bsky.social · 15/04/2026I told Aftonbladet before the election: no income growth, no future for Viktor Orbán. We, socialists, saw it coming and stepped aside. And Tisza Party didn’t just win—they ran up the score. 000
