Maa- ja metsätalousvaliokunnan tekemä laajennus voi olla EU-oikeuden vastainen. Myös saukko sisältyy kiintiömetsästettäviin lajeihin.

Turkey's Interior Minister says 578,000 Syrians have returned since the fall of Assad regime a year ago.

A huge number considering the uncertainties. But my feeling is that the process is slowing down

Next logical step would be for the EU commissioners, officials and agencies to leave X. After all, it's just another private social media platform, but run by a person bent on distributing lies and bigotry.
What I see is that there are so many people trying to undermine Europe. Why? Because the EU is strong. And we are working to make it even stronger.

We have taken bold steps to build the Europe of defence and enhance our strategic autonomy.

Azerbaijan arrests main opposition leader Ali Karimli, his advisor Mammad Ibrahim and several other associates. This will effectively end any non-systemic opposition presence in the country, following total eradication of independent media & civic organizations. Towards full-fledged totalitarianism.
We are extremely concerned about today’s actions lead by the National Security Agency against the leader of the Azerbaijan Popular Front Party, Ali Karimli 🇦🇿

Barzani clan taking a role in the Kurdish peace process. Masoud Barzani has been active in Iraq and Syria, and now he's visiting southeast Turkey.

Öcalan is not a democrat, but Barzanis, too, have much to improve in that field.

A full year of daily protests against the undemocratic Georgian Dream regime!

I must confess, I never thought it would last so long. I just wish that oligarch Ivanishvili will one day think about all these Georgians who want democracy and a chance to proceed on the EU path.

Day 366 of uninterrupted, nationwide protests in Georgia. 🇬🇪🇪🇺

87 accused acquitted in the case concerning the protests after the arrest of Istanbul mayor İmamoğlu.

The case lasted more than 6 months and has undoubtedly caused stress. This is politicised judicial activism even if the process ends with acquittal.

A year ago today, Georgians poured into the streets after Georgian Dream announced it would suspend the country's EU path. The regime responded with brutal crackdowns, torturing up to 500 protesters. No one has been held accountable.

Opposition tv channel gets, once again, a huge fine for what a visitor said in a programme (questioned the govt's legitimacy).

1) That's an opinion well within the limits of freedom of expression.

2) How common a practice it is to punish a channel for what a visitor says?

Russia promised multiple times, in writing, that it would never invade Ukraine.

Russia denied invading Ukraine *after* it had invaded and occupied Crimea and Donbas in 2014.

Russia promised not to invade Ukraine just days before launching its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Putin:

Russia has no intention of attacking Europe.We can write it down. Maybe that makes sense, meaning, if we want to talk about it together…We do realize that we need to sit down and discuss it seriously…

(AG:good thing that Russia always honors its written commitments.Oh, wait...)
