🇪🇺 Maybe the EU has become a hostage of its Member States, but there's a very simple solution for that:
🔸Give the Parliament the right to initiate legislation
🔸Strengthen the Committe of the Regions
🔸And build a Union beyond its capitals.

'Sorry, Ms Ursula von der Leyen, but how far is too far for #Israel 's right to defend itself?
Because we've seen cases of #genocide and mass graves.
Where is the line exactly ⁉️'
Maylis Roßberg at #MaastrichtDebate
The lead candidate of Walter Baier asks Ursula von der Leyen in the #MaastrichtDebate when the EU will put sanctions on Israel for the massacres in #Gaza
Hier soir lors du #MaastrichtDebate , Ursula von der Leyen a confirmé sa volonté de s'allier avec l'ECR de Meloni et Marion Maréchal, répondant à une question du candidat des verts.
Cet aveux a légèrement étonné la salle.

Investing in our European defence industry is needed because we face clear and present risks.
We need more military capabilities in Europe.
This is how we will build interoperable armed forces.
And how we will create good jobs in Europe!

🙋♀️Eva has a question for #EUelections2024 candidates taking part in #MaastrichtDebate on the 29th of April 👇
When it comes to addressing #climatechange , 'How are you planning to ensure that European farmers are empowered to implement higher animal welfare standards?'
Bas Eickhout nuestro candidato de European Greens🌻🇪🇺
¡El futuro de la agricultura europea pasa por acelerar las políticas verdes para una transición ecológica justa, no deternerlas como están intentando las derechas! #ChooseCourage #MaastrichtDebate
⭐️Maylis Roßberg closing statement at #MaastrichtDebate :
'To all candidates onstage: You’re deciding the future of our generation. You're deciding between #democracy or chaos. If I could, I know what Europe I would choose:
A #Europe my generation is PROUD to belong to.'
“The real problem of our farmers is they don’t have a decent income. The profits go to the agro industry, they go to the supermarkets, they determine the prices and not the farmers,” said Bas Eickhout of the European Green Party.

“To be very honest, I’m getting a bit tired,” said Bas Eickhout of the European Green Party.
“We are having here a person that is standing here on behalf of the ID Group…Maybe before you are teaching everyone, clean up your own house.”

'Man stelle sich vor, John F. Kennedy hätte nach 4 Jahren gesagt: Na ja, vielleicht ist der halbe Weg zum Mond auch okay.
Wenn wir Klimamaßnahmen ergreifen, müssen wir in eine neue Wirtschaft investieren.'
Bas Eickhout on 🚀
#MaastrichtDebate
President Lorena López de Lacalle highlighted the importance of new voices, especially those advocating for the marginalized. She praised the reception of Maylis Roßberg during the #maastrichtdebate and congratulated this genuinely inclusive campaign, emphasizing the essence of democracy🙌💜
For an hour, the EP candidates talk about EU democracy without providing any ideas on European democracy. Too afraid to propose treaty change, transnational lists or mobilising young people. Instead it's a referendum on VDL's second term, who isn't even running. #maastrichtdebate
