    Increase in risk of domestic violence during COVID-19 outbreak

    While we applaud the necessary moves to create social distancing and flatten the curve with the Corona virus, these must come with moves to protect vulnerable people against domestic violence.

    All about the EU climate law

    The European Green Deal is a pact that was launched by the President of the Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. And the climate law is consequently one of the most important parts of the green deal.

    Unprecedented EU response needed to avert worst of virus crisis

    We need a coordinated European response like no other to meet the challenge of this global pandemic head-on.

    EU governments are making domestic considerations a priority

    The postponement of the negotiations of the Heads of State and Government on the Multiannual Financial Framework is disappointing. EU governments were unable to agree on a strong united position for a budget for the future. The Green Deal and challenges such as digitisation and growing inequality cannot be tackled with an austerity budget…

    Withdrawal Agreement vote sad day for Europe

    We will continue to support citizens' rights and the principle of solidarity. The ties that bind us run deeper than our political union and although the UK will for now embark on a separate path we will stay partners and friends. If the UK changes its mind in the future then we will leave a light on for them to return home.
