Europe
My assessment of the latest developments involving Iran, Israel, and the United States.
The regime in Iran systematically and brutally suppresses any form of dissent. In the European Parliament, we once again debated the situation in Iran during plenary and adopted a resolution. We must decisively increase pressure on the regime and provide meaningful support to the people of Iran.
Violence is escalating once again in northeastern Syria. In the European Parliament, we call on all parties to uphold the ceasefire and guarantee minority rights. Syria is not safe for returns.
After years of blockades in the Council, we have finally succeeded: the Iranian Revolutionary Guards are on the EU terrorist list. What this means:
How can Europe strengthen its defence capabilities without undermining democratic oversight? At a pan-European webinar organised by Europe Calling, we discussed existing challenges, political responsibility, and shared European solutions.
Protests in Iran are escalating dramatically. People across the country are taking to the streets – despite deadly violence, mass arrests, and targeted internet shutdowns. The regime is under massive pressure. Europe must not remain silent now.
A DROI hearing in the European Parliament focused on how authoritarian regimes extend their repression into the EU – and why Europe must now respond more decisively.
The EU has sent a clear message to Tehran: the systematic persecution of minorities, especially the Bahá’Ã, must end immediately. As the initiator for the Greens in the European Parliament, I stand firmly with those affected and demand concrete consequences.
Eine künstliche Halbinsel im Schutzgebiet, eine tiefere Fahrrinne und Pläne für Gasförderung vor Usedom: Die neuen Industrialisierungsvorhaben rund um Swinemünde sorgen für wachsende Sorgen in der gesamten Grenzregion und veranlassen mich erneut die Europäische Kommission einzuschalten.
The EU has adopted its first-ever defence industry programme. It strengthens Europe’s industrial backbone, boosts joint procurement, supports Ukraine — and takes an important step towards strategic autonomy.
Authoritarian regimes have long been pursuing their critics across borders. At the Berlin Freedom Conference, I explained why we must better protect those affected in Europe — and what that protection should look like.
We cannot fully rely on Trump to achieve a sustainable peace between Israel and Palestine. In the European Parliament, we debated what role Europe should play.
