BREAKING: We just reached an agreement in the European Parliament to set up a working group for a thorough inquiry of #Frontex. We will investigate all allegations on violations of fundamental rights and draft recommendations.
We need to hold Frontex accountable.
The Hope Project retweeted
Why @Frontex do you fail to address the reason for the decline in arrivals - the systematic pushback and interception operations at sea? What about your role in these human rights violations? Europe's policy of deterrence has caused hundreds of deaths, just over the past weeks.
Latest trends at 🇪🇺 external borders: The number of illegal border crossings at Europe’s external borders fell by 21% in the first 10 months of this year to around 87 500, largely because of a drop in arrivals in Eastern and Western Mediterranean bit.ly/3nBpxPn

13 hours since we alerted the @HCoastGuard to the distress! The people were illegally pushed back to Turkish waters and left adrift instead of being brought to safety on nearby #Lesvos. The Turkish Coast Guard told us that they rescued the people in very bad weather conditions.

TheStormPt1: A week after 1st flood another storm came through, devastating #newcamp within 30mins. Put yourself here, consider this your home because this is not a horror movie, this is real life #europe 2020. No wonder everyone says "This is worse than #Moria!" #EuropeMustAct

The crew managed to keep #LouiseMichel stable for almost 12h now. Our new friends told us they lost 3 friends on their journey already. Including the dead body in our one life raft, that makes 4 lives vanished because of Fortress Europe... And we are still waiting.

I’m not going to pick a charity to fundraise for, leading up to my birthday this year! Instead if you could all either share and donate to the Kickstarter that would be amazing.

The lockdown in England has not only collapsed, it has become absurd. Two consenting adults from different households can’t lawfully have sex indoors (many MPs will struggle to stay on right side of that law) yet you could have sex outdoors with 5 consenting adults. 2020.

Our crew was attacked by a mob of fascists while the #MARELIBERUM was docked in Skala Loutron, #Lesvos. They shouted, threatened us & poured gasoline on our deck! Our crew saw themselves forced to leave & is now anchoring offshore. We'll stay & continue monitoring!

“As far as I’m aware she does not have any degree in economics.”
“I was and I remain a professor of economics.”
This is what happened when a Brexit Party MEP questioned the expertise of Green MEP Molly Scott Cato over post-Brexit trade.

@EricKempson hi Eric! I'm translating an interview of yours into Spanish and I've got some doubts regarding names of beaches and some other things. Could I bother you to help me a bit? Thank you very much and I profoundly admire what you're doing and all you've achieved ❤️.
