1/4 🧵
Today we presented our nominees for the 2021 #SakharovPrize: A collective of 11 prominent Afghan Women who have been bravely fighting for equality and full enjoyment of human and fundamental rights in 🇦🇫 2/4 🧵
These Afghan women are both human rights defenders and victims of human rights abuses.
By nominating them, we are sending a message to the international community: We must defend the rights and freedoms of women and the whole population of Afghanistan.
First up in #EPlenary this morning, we debate the EU COVID-19 certificate.
This will be a temporary tool to help European citizens travel safely and freely again, while protecting their data privacy and avoiding new restrictions.
As we start our farewell ceremony for our @LabMEPs, we want to thank them and their staff for the hard work they carried out over more than 45 years.
This is not a goodbye, it’s an au revoir. Our progressive fight doesn’t stop here.
Our President @IratxeGarper opens the ceremony in honour of @LabMEPs
We’ll continue to fight together for a better, more sustainable and more social world. We as progressives can do more and will do more, together with all of you, with a strong Labour Party.
