Disappointing – that's our summary of @vonderleyen(opens in a new tab)’s work plans for this year. Europe will only be strong & autonomous if we ensure quality jobs. Europe will only be secure if we ensure social justice. YES to targeted simplification, NO to reckless and random deregulation!

We will not let Donald Trump deny justice to the countless victims of genocide and war crimes!

The German far-right wants Russian gas to flow through the Nord Stream pipeline again. That means more money for Putin’s war machine, and less money for the everyday people. For years now, the AfD has been working as an agent of the Kremlin to sabotage Germany and the European Union from within.
