Il lavoro di @reportrai3.bsky.social è un giornalismo scomodo che va a toccare grossi interessi economici e contribuisce a mantenere il controllo democratico dell'informazione, a testimonianza dell'importanza del servizio pubblico radiotelevisivo e del giornalismo realmente indipendente. 2/2

A seguito del gravissimo attentato intimidatorio nei confronti di #SigfridoRanucci, voglio esprimere la mia solidarietà a lui e famiglia. Il giornalismo investigativo di @reportrai3.bsky.social da trent'anni fa informazione con inchieste importantissime e coraggiose. 1/2

The EU promised Egypt €7.4 billion in exchange for human rights improvements. Sadly, we see no change so far.

Don't roll out the red carpet for Al-Sisi, but demand change during Wednesday's summit: No human rights improvements, no EU money.

That's our message to @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu 👇

Their problems are being ignored while their tax money goes into the pockets of the rich and powerful.
How are people supposed to still believe in democracy, if democratically elected leaders strip them of their basic rights to shelter, good working conditions, and healthcare? 3/3

Secondly, the rest of the private sector.
One thing is clear: the budget does not serve the majority of Europeans, who struggle with the rising cost of living, shrinking access to quality public services, and the consequences of natural disasters caused by climate change. 2/3

The Commissioner said it very clearly: we need to cut spending. Preferably on social and green policies, if you read the budget.
Who will benefit?
First of all: the arms industry, who will enjoy a 5 times bigger budget, despite the huge subsidies it already receives. 1/3

Today, European farmers are protesting in Strasbourg against reforms to the Common Agricultural Policy and fighting possible budget cuts.
I believe they have every right to do so, and I fully support the struggle for survival of small European farmers against 1/2

Despite the neocolonial Trump ceasefire plan, dozens of Palestinians are still being murdered and the access to aid is still being blocked. We need to keep up the pressure until Palestine is free from occupation and independent.

We are in Geneva today and tomorrow with Rima Hassan of @lfi.bsky.social and the @left.eu to talk about #corporateaccountability at the United Nations, and today we march to protest against the shameless profiteering of international companies from the genocide in Gaza and in the West Bank. 1/2

Deze brede coalities gaan we nodig hebben om te voorkomen dat de EU het speeltje van big business wordt.

Rudi Kennes MEP @rudikennes.bsky.social · 26d

Wat Vlaanderen nodig heeft van Europa zijn regels die onze mensen beschermen en die zorgen dat de Vlaamse economie voorop de toekomst in kan gaan. Gelukkig waren er tussen de beleidsmakers en maatschappelijke organisaties hiervoor nog medestanders te vinden.

In het verleden was werk hebben een hefboom om uit de armoede te komen of te blijven maar deze neoliberale Europese visie zal enkel ervoor zorgen dat mensen zelfs met een volledige dagtaak niet meer rondkomen.

Rudi Kennes MEP @rudikennes.bsky.social · 26d

maar de gewone Vlaming heeft helemaal niks aan de dereguleringsgolf die deze Europese Commissie over ons uit probeert te storten.Het zal enkel leiden tot nòg meer onveiligheid, nòg meer slachtoffers op het werk en nòg meer werkende armen.

Rudi Kennes MEP @rudikennes.bsky.social · 26d

Het succes van de bedrijvenlobby is bijna bewonderingswaardig. Ook tijdens het Vlaams Europadebat werd deregulering weer veelvuldig opgevoerd als oplossing voor al onze problemen. Natuurlijk is iedereen voor goede en efficiënte regels,

Public money is funding spyware!

With 39 MEPs from 4 political groups, we are writing to the @ec.europa.eu to express deep concerns following @ftm.eu revelations that EU financed spyware companies!

This must stop! We call on full transparency and follow up on the PEGA committee recommendations!

It is time that these companies take responsibility and that we stop subsidising business. Public funding must have strict conditionalities for it to be invested in R&D and in training for workers, avoiding job losses at all costs. It is time that businesses pay for the transition, not you. 3/3

Rudi Kennes MEP @rudikennes.bsky.social · Sep 29

and manage their businesses with competence and responsibility have been left off the hook and have kept profiting. Meanwhile, millions of workers have been dismissed in the automotive and energy sector, and production moved to countries where labour is cheaper and working conditions are worse. 2/3
