@rudikennes🧵Last Wednesday, together with my colleague Sebastian Everding and the Keep Me Posted campaign, we hosted a discussion in the European Parliament about why it is important for the EU to let citizens and residents have a say on whether they prefer digital or analogue communications and services. 1/7

@mguentherToday I met David Maenda Kithoko and Bazeli Mbo from the Democratic Republic of Congo. They denounced the catastrophic violence in their country. Fueled by the raw material hunger, also of Europe. The prosperity of the EU must no longer be based on a blood trail through Africa.

@mguentherWe have today witnessed a shocking collaboration in the slashing of human, environmental, and employee rights by far‑right parties, including the AfD, and conservatives, including the CDU/CSU. A bitter taste of what else can come from such a cooperation.

@idoiamendiaNo more excuses: all Member States must fully apply and transpose the Minimum Wage Directive 👏 Spain has shown that raising wages is compatible with growth and employment.

@katerinakonecna⚠️ The media swamp did not line up with the election results❗️ One proof for everything. ➡️ When Fiala’s arrogant antisocial gang, which caused over 30 % inflation, pushed the birth rate down to its lowest levels in several decades (some indicators even put it in the hundreds), it had to respond by raising the parental allowance by at least 50 thousand. The media announced this with great pomp. What about the fact that already in 2023 Fiala’s government had to increase the allowance by 96 thousand (!), if it wanted to keep its real value over time❗️ Now the government, which has not yet been appointed, has committed to the right move – to raise the parental allowance by another 50 thousand. And yet 👉 the same media houses (in this case SeznamZprávy) marvel that it does not keep up with inflation. And they are right. But where have these writers been all this time?❓ If their so‑beloved Fiala government had introduced a valuation system – which it did not hesitate to apply to its own salaries, so that they rose by several thousand each year – these writers would no longer have to write how little is added. By the way, I still believe that a valuation system for the parental allowance should be implemented, because we need to support birth rates👩🍼. The media, as impartial watchdogs of democracy, are supposed to do that. That’s a lot of theory. In reality they carry out their own politics and shape public opinion in ways that suit their owners and the interest groups they are connected to❗️ The movement Stačilo! faced, before the elections, a targeted attack from these pro‑Fiala journalists and Brussels‑based media on a daily basis. They didn’t need facts. Just half‑truths, speculation and poisonous slander mixed with prejudiced hatred, so that the movement, which did not sell its program in the European Parliament or in the regions, never got into the Chamber❗️ The goal was achieved. Now there are other uncomfortable ones…

@mguentherRepressions against the opposition in #Tanzania continue. Leading members of the opposition Chadema party are supposed to hand themselves over to the police. Many fear being locked up without trial or worse. @kajakallas.bsky.social @diplo.de Act now!

@mguentherWealth is rising, and the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few is also increasing. But at every opportunity we are told that there is no money for social programs, for climate. End the global inequality emergency: tax the rich. #globaljusticenow www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/s...
