Congratulations to my fellow colleague Petra Bayr on her election as President of #PACE. Together with former President Liliane Maury Pasquier, I wish her every success. A challenging role for the right woman at the right time.

36 years ago, just before Christmas 1989, Romania tore freedom out of the grip of dictatorship.
It was won with blood and courage — but it proved that even the most brutal, seemingly untouchable regime can fall. That sacrifice opened the road to today’s democratic Romania.

It is shameful that Viktor Orbán downplays Russia’s aggression by saying it’s “not even clear who attacked whom.” Ukraine was invaded. Full stop. Orbán owes an apology — and should stop serving Vladimir Putin’s interests over Europe’s values and security.

Proud to call Maria João Rodrigues a comrade and to have fought beside her. As FEPS president, she showed what real feminist, progressive leadership looks like — principled, bold, and unafraid to challenge power.
Thank you, Maria, for your courage and your example. ✊🌹

The draft report led by @joannasw.bsky.social & Evin Incir in the European Parliament sends a clear message to the Commission and Member States: the EU needs a consent-based definition of rape.

Rape laws still vary across Europe. In many countries, rape is not defined on the basis of consent - leaving survivors without justice.
