"It's time to cut our salaries so MEPs realise, perhaps a little bit, what regular Europeans are going through."
@BotengaM on #EuropeToday following a proposal from The Left group in the EU Parliament to slash MEPsâ salaries from around âŹ8,800 to almost âŹ4,400.

Deeply misleading by @vonderleyen to blame Member State divisions for lack of EU action on Israel/Palestine when she herself has been the principal block on banning trade with illegal settlements.
Embarrassing contrast with UK, Canada & France who showed leadership last week.đ§”

Tous les dĂ©mocrates devraient sâinquiĂ©ter lorsquâun ministre de la DĂ©fense menace dâinterdire un festival simplement parce que son message ne lui plaĂźt pas.
ManiFiesta, câest la fĂȘte de la solidaritĂ©. Manu Chao sur scĂšne. Des invitĂ©s du monde entier au micro. Des milliers de personnes venues des quatre coins du pays.
Câest donc cela que Theo Francken veut interdire. Sur la base de demi-vĂ©ritĂ©s et de mensonges Ă©hontĂ©s. En invoquant, de maniĂšre invraisemblable, la lĂ©gislation antiterroriste.
Ce nâest pas seulement pathĂ©tique. Câest dangereux. Voici ce que Francken veut vraiment : interdire purement et simplement les voix de lâopposition sociale.
Jour aprĂšs jour, les accusations deviennent plus grotesques. Quiconque rĂ©siste Ă ce gouvernement est discrĂ©ditĂ©. Et maintenant, on menace mĂȘme de poursuites judiciaires et dâinterdictions.
Le gouvernement Arizona ne parvient pas Ă Ă©quilibrer son budget. Il ne parvient pas Ă vendre sa casse sociale. Et le soutien au budget de guerre dĂ©mesurĂ© sâeffrite.
Chez Francken, chaque revers conduit à une nouvelle étape sur la voie du trumpisme : ne pas répondre à la critique, mais attaquer les voix dissidentes.
Dâabord avec des rapports OCAD inventĂ©s de toutes piĂšces. Ensuite avec des accusations absurdes. BientĂŽt avec la loi Quintin pour interdire purement et simplement les organisations jugĂ©es « trop radicales » par le gouvernement.
La direction est claire : non seulement intimider les mouvements sociaux et lâopposition politique, mais les rĂ©duire au silence.
Là se situe une limite démocratique.

Together with the @ICRC President Mirjana Spoljaric, and with even greater urgency, I renew my call on States to establish specific prohibitions & restrictions on autonomous weapon systems.
We are now dangerously close to crossing a moral red line: the autonomous targeting of humans by machines.
Innovation must serve humanity â not endanger it.

Beaucoup de monde pour la confĂ©rence « AprĂšs lâIran, nouvel ordre mondial : lâimpasse Ă©tatsunienne » aux cĂŽtĂ©s de Marc Botenga, dĂ©putĂ© europĂ©en du Parti Travailleur Belge et Benjamin Burbaumer, Ă©conomise et auteur de « Chine/USA, le capitalisme contre la mondialisation. »
La guerre en Iran rĂ©vĂšle lâĂ©puisement de lâhĂ©gĂ©monie Ă©tatsunienne et lâĂ©mergence dâun monde multipolaire oĂč les peuples refusent Ă se soumettre Ă une puissance tutĂ©laire. Face Ă cet ordre ancien qui vacille, nous devons dĂ©fendre notre souverainetĂ©, le non-alignement et un droit international universel pour construire des relations fondĂ©es sur lâĂ©galitĂ© plutĂŽt que sur la domination.

We mark the 81st anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima at a time when nuclear sabers are rattled once again in the name of power & coercion.
But peace is not secured through fear & might.
It's built through trust, diplomacy, international cooperation & an unwavering commitment to international law.
Letâs choose dialogue over division & cooperation over confrontation to move closer to a world where the tragedy of Hiroshima is never repeated.

đ§”New report by Global Echo, exposing EU imports of agricultural goods from Israel's illegal settlements in breach of EU rules, makes waves in European media.đ
The findings strengthen the calls for the EU to end imports of these products, as required by international law.

Peter Mertens (PVDA): âDefensie-uitgaven gaan ten koste van sociale zekerheid, pensioenen en publieke dienstenâ
Peter Mertens trekt in zijn nieuwe boek âDe laatste dagen van het oude normaalâ aan de alarmbel over de toenemende verwevenheid tussen politiek en grote defensiebedrijven. Volgens hem schuift Europa steeds meer op richting een model zoals in de Verenigde Staten, waar overheid en wapenindustrie nauw met elkaar verbonden raken.
Hij verwijst naar de snelle militarisering in landen als Duitsland en de stijgende defensiebudgetten binnen de NAVO. Die evolutie noemt hij niet neutraal: âWat we zien is de opbouw van een militair-industrieel complex dat steeds meer politieke invloed krijgtâ, klinkt het.

ââWhat are you partnering with?ââ
MEP @BotengaM accuses EU leaders of âactive complicityâ in funding and arming Israel while it commits âthe worst crimes possible under international law.â
Marc Botenga tells me about the âdeep embeddednessâ of Israelâs broader project of colonization in the European system â and why the EU could exert massive pressure by suspending its preferential trade agreement, but refuses to act.

The Left called for a debate "Israelâs airstrikes in Lebanon, the urgent need to uphold the ceasefire & EUâs responsibility to prevent further escalation"
Once again, the đȘđșParliament chooses complicity with Netanyahuâs regime by rejecting it
Suspend the UE-Israel agreement NOW
