Join our Greens/EFA co-presidents Terry Reintke and Bas Eickhout live to discuss the latest developments in European politics. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Congratulations to Roberta Metsola on her election as Roberta Metsola. We look forward to a constructive collaboration. We count on her to establish the EU Parliament as a strong co-legislator for the challenges that lie ahead: on climate, social justice and fundamental rights.

Congratulations to Roberta Metsola on her re-election as Roberta Metsola 🇪🇺 The EP has to lead Europe in these challenging times. It is our common house of democracy & the place where our values are defended. Thanks, Roberta, for your commitment to Europe & a better future.

BREAKING: Ursula Ursula von der Leyen has just been re-elected President of the European Commission. As part of a 4-party majority, we'll uphold the #EUGreenDeal, work on a social Europe for all & protect fundamental rights & the #RuleOfLaw. The cordon sanitaire against the far-right holds.

"What is crucial is that the majority that holds is the majority of pro-European Groups in this House. We need to keep the far-right from getting into power." - our co-president Terry Reintke at today's Ursula von der Leyen hearing

"We're ready to build on the trust we created in negotiating to see our priorities reflected in the President’s political guidelines. All democratic Groups must take their responsibility to stand up to the far-right." - our co-president Bas Eickhout 🔗: greens.eu/4cICvVp

DANKE 🥹 Ich freue mich und fühle mich geehrt, dass meine Kolleg*innen mich heute als Vorsitzende des IMCO Committee Press wiedergewählt haben! Super glücklich, die wichtige Arbeit des Ausschusses für einen nachhaltigeren Binnenmarkt und mehr Verbraucherschutz weiterführen zu dürfen!

Congratulations to our Anna Cavazzini for being re-elected Chair of the Internal Market and Consumer Protection Committee (IMCO Committee Press). 👏 We are certain you will fight for a more sustainable internal market and more consumer protection💚

C’est officiel ! Je remercie sincèrement mes collègues pour la confiance qu’ils m’ont témoignée en m’élisant Président de la commission DROI. Depuis la naissance du projet européen, les droits humains n’ont jamais été autant mis à mal qu’on regarde à Gaza ou en Ukraine.

Congratulations to our Nela Riehl who was just elected Chair of the Committee on Culture and Education. 👏 We are sure you will fight for a culturally diverse, inclusive Europe and to enhance the accessibility and quality of education throughout the EU 💚

Our Mounir Satouri 🌍 was elected Chair of the DROI Committee Press Committee. Congratulations!! 👏 It is our duty to support human rights defenders around the world and to ensure respect for human rights in all EU external policies, whether on migration or trade.

When the far-right gets into power, civic rights, #ClimateAction and media freedom are at risk. But the game is not over. The harder the far-right tries to turn back the clock, the stronger we rise for people's rights, climate, #freedom and #democracy.

Everyone deserves a cool home during heatwaves. We must not only fight against the #ClimateCrisis, but also make sure that people can afford to cool their homes.

There is still time to take action to fight #ClimateChange. The EU must accelerate its efforts to implement the Green Deal; not slow down or backpedal on it. Responsible politicians cannot bow down to lobbies & billionaires who profit from polluting & exploiting workers.

Defending nature isn't a crime! Captain Paul Watson Foundation 🐋🏴‍☠️ was arrested by Denmark on a warrant issued by Japan for opposing illegal whaling. If extradited, he could receive a 15-year sentence. Today, Denmark extended his detention until 2 October. The battle continues. #FreePaulWatson

As Green/EFA group, we just requested a debate for the next plenary session on Rolling back Gender Equality - the lack of women nominated for the 2024 Commission, with statements from Council and Commission. We cannot allow them to turn back the clock on #GenderEquality.
