Today, we mark the 3rd anniversary of the 2020 elections & the Day of Solidarity with Belarus. On this day, I ask you to raise your voice & show your support – for political prisoners, for every Belarusian yearning for freedom. Our strength is in unity; together, we will prevail.

🤍❤️🤍JEF Europe calls for unwavering solidarity with the people of #Belarus on this 9th of August, which marks 3 years since the sham election of 9 August 2020

I enjoyed visiting Luxembourg for the first time today - a really nice little city/state for walks in nature or the old city, museums, restaurants, EU stuff etc. It was lovely to finally meet fellow JEF'er Christelle Savall too. RE1 from Koblenz is a great way to use the D-Ticket! 🇱🇺🇪🇺

Please remember to join our Day of Solidarity next week on August 9, the anniversary of the stolen elections of 2020. Every action matters! You can read more about the Day of Solidarity & possible actions to take: standwithbelarus.org/day-of-solidar…

We need the white-red-white flag as emoji. I know it's challenging and even regulated; we need it to get sorted. It will be more than a sign of solidarity. It is a recognition of #Belarus as a sovereign nation striving for democracy and having a long history. Please consider.

📌“EU reform and #enlargement must go hand in hand since they are interconnected processes. Both are instrumental in meeting the needs of all #Europeans and revitalising the values underlying the integration project”, says Christelle Savall, JEF Europe Vice President.

More than a year after the end of the #CoFoE , parliamentary groups in the #EuropeanParliament have agreed on convening a Convention to reform the Treaties. Read JEF statement here: jef.eu/news/dont-stop…

Belarusian political prisoner, famous artist Ales Pushkin has died in prison.

1,500+ political prisoners are still alive...

We must stop the regime killing innocent people.

Die Bundesregierung hat angekündigt den #KJP um 19% zu kürzen. Für die JEF heißt das: weniger demokratische Teilhabe, weniger europäische Begegnungen und weniger Bildungsprojekte. Mit Blick auf die #EPWahlen24 fordern wir ein klares Bekenntnis zu Stärkung von Jugend und Demokratie!

⚖️ The #RuleofLaw Report of European Commission shows early signs of incremental progress, especially where 🇪🇺 funds are withheld. It’s important to make sure those are not cosmetic.

Restrictions on judicial independence, media freedom and civil society are ↗️ #DemocracyUnderPressure

It was a pleasure to present and moderate the European Economic and Social Committee and Young European Federalists's 'Youth under pressure' panels yesterday. Civil society in general, and youth NGOs in particular, are threatened and we need to work together and FIGHT BACK

#DemocracyUnderPressure

Supporting civil society means supporting an integral part of #democracy . This is not an add-on. This is not optional. Civil society is essential for our democracies. Thank you for addressing this topic! Young European Federalists and Civil Society Organisations' Group of the EESC at today's #YouthSeminar

🗣️ 'I don’t care about youth spaces because I am young. I care about youth civic spaces because they are the most difficult civic spaces to see flourish and because as long as they are endangered so is our democracy' says Christelle Savall at the Civil Society Organisations' Group of the EESC.

#DemocracyUnderPressure

Youth organizations are acting as watchdogs & facing political pressure. We need to challenge the political parties to achieve real inclusion of youth where they don’t need to wait to have degrees to intervene - 🗣 Pietro V. Barbieri
