Ukraine is Europe!
We stand by Ukraine.
We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.
Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

Gutted to hear of former Scottish First Minister @AlexSalmon's passing. I fondly remember when he interviewed me in 2019 for the @AlexSalmondShow and then our long and interesting discussions, especially about Scottish independence 🏴, also while he was holidaying in Malta.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Lorenzo Vella, Head of our @EU_Commission Representation in Malta.
I’ll remember him as a kind and enthusiastic person, and a passionate European.
I extend my deepest condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time.

Women must not be treated as second-class citizens!
Once again, right and far-right showed their true colours by voting against women.
But a progressive majority prevailed & called for the right to legal, safe abortion to be included in the EU Charter of fundamental rights!

Despite opposition from the right and the far-right, the 🇪🇺 Parliament called today for the right to legal and safe abortion to be included in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.✊

«The major criticism I give to myself is that for a long time we tended to ignore the activities of these christian right political organisations. We did not try to contradict their messages because we thought they were directed to an ultra-minority. This left a vacuum for them» @engerer talks about the Maltese Christian Right 🇲🇹

Young progressives send a clear message from our workshops on LGBTIQ rights, women's rights & non-discrimination:
✊Everyone should have the same respect, no matter their gender!
The rise of the far-right poses a dangerous threat to all human rights in the EU.

Poland moving forward to democracy ✊🏽

Today, first time in Polish TV, after 8 years of right-wing government, the LGBT activists appeared in live broadcast. I was seating there and heard journalist shaking voice. He made an apology after years of portraying LGBT-people a threat to Polish nation in the same studio. I was moved.. Apology an important part of reconciliation. This is Poland I want to fight for... Thank you...

#Malta has given youths the strongest powers in Europe on politics. On threads, I speak about what this should mean but won't - threads.net/@engerer/post/C1…

Seeing the celebrations in #Tbilisi and those young people full of hope for freedom reminded me of myself 20 years ago. Can't believe two decades have already passed since Malta joined the #EU - looking forward to have our Georgian siblings with us #StrongerTogether #Georgia

‘We should celebrate the courage they had.'
MEP @engerer calls on the authorities to drop the charges against the #ElHiblu3.
He joins a widening sea of voices including Archbishop Scicluna & @MarieLouise_MT who described the case as a ‘farce’.

#Malta let's be on the right side of history. Today during Justice Council we must join Commissioner @helenadalli, @Europarl_EN & 🔟 Member States in calling for consent based rape definitions in #VAWDirective. Basing contrary arguments on narrow & wrong #CLSopinion is shameful.

MEP @engerer: "I’m speechless at the AG’s decision to prosecute two minors & a teenager as terrorists for seeking to escape from the unimaginable horror of Libya where migrants are tortured, raped and abused.”
“This injustice will shame Malta globally.”
