After the massacre in #Bucha nobody can say that they didn’t know.
Therefore I call for a special meeting of the European Council to take new decisive measures against Putin’s criminal regime 👇🧵 1/4
We urge @eucopresident@vonderleyen@JosepBorrellF to immediately convene #EUCO meeting to impose :
⛽ A full oil, gas & coal embargo;
⛴️The closure of all ports to 🇷🇺 vessels;
🏦Disconnection of all 🇷🇺 banks from SWIFT;
💰Extension of sanctions to names provided by @navalny 2/4
As Putin concentrates his brutal aggression on the East & South of Ukraine & attacks Odessa, there is an urgent need to send weaponry & military equipment including tanks, armored vehicles, heavy artillery, anti-ship missiles & sophisticated anti-aircraft protection systems 3/4
The EU flag on the keychain says it all… We promised “never again” after the Second World War. No more genocides.
Are we failing ?
This is our reckoning !

Pro-Europeans should be the first to be critical when things go wrong. On vaccines, they certainly have…
My take on @vonderleyen’s #vaccine fiasco and how to move forward and fix it 👇🏻
Part 2.
EU is world leader in producing vaccines, yet there is a lack of supply in every EU country.
Part 3.
The vaccine contracts are unbalanced — precise on pricing and liabilities but weak and vague on supply and on timing.
Romania takes over the EU Presidency at a critical time, when several legislative negotiations need to be concluded ahead of European elections. Read my thoughts in this thread 👇
First, I wish them the best of luck. At the same time, the Romanian government must deliver on their commitments with regard to the #ruleoflaw.
The reforms of the judiciary, of the criminal code and also the NGO law must fully reflect the recommendations of the Venice Commission, and be re-assessed by this expert body before enactment.
#Zuckerberg | You remind me of “Kalden” in the book “The Circle”; the founder of a big data company, growing out of his control, influencing elections.
#Zuckerberg | Nearly every year since 2003 there was a wrongdoing or problem for which you had to apologise; twice in 2017 and three times in 2018 and we are only May! Are you capable to fix it?
#Zuckerberg | You said you will apply the new #GDPR, but are you telling the truth? Since the outbreak of the #CambridgeAnalytica scandal, you transferred European data of non EU citizens to servers outside Europe, which is forbidden.
