Roberta Metsola @president.europarl.europa.eu denied a request from 145 MEPs to ask for a legal opinion on the #EUMercosur deal

Her argument - that the EU has to sign the deal before MEPs can ask the Court of Justice to check its legality - is plainly and obviously wrong

Here's why:

Iedereen wil dat ontbossing stopt. Iedereen wil mooie, bloeiende natuur. Daarom werd de bossenwet zo breed gesteund (1,2 mln Europeanen). En nu wéér 1 jaar uitstel van echte invoering van de wet???? ongelooflijk hoe onze mooie aarde te grabbel wordt gegooid...

🌍 Huh, de Amazone in Amsterdam? Yes.

Samen met APIB projecteerden we een krachtige lichtshow: stemmen van Inheemse volken, beelden van vernietiging én hoop. ✊

Met gigantische letters die door Europa trekken, maken we één ding duidelijk: de Amazone moet beschermd worden.

As the world prepares for COP30 in the Amazon, the rainforest is already dangerously close to collapse.

The EU-Mercosur deal approved by the European Commission today brings that tipping point one step closer.

MEPs and governments must reject this dangerous deal!

Kankerscreening is een ingewikkeld onderwerp en het verwart omdat het zo anders is dan alles wat je tot nu toe hoorde. Kanker is een ingewikkelde ziekte met heel veel varianten. Het verhaal 'als je er maar vroeg genoeg bij bent' doet geen recht aan die compliciteit. /2

Klimaat-en Amazoneverwoester- vleesgigant JBS- gaat vooruit als EU-mercosur trade deal. #stopeumercosur!
New research: The #EUMercosur trade deal is a major threat to human rights, nature and the climate – and would net over a billion in profits for the world's biggest meat producer, JBS

Politicians should not enable billionaires like JBS to expand their predatory business models
EU-Mercosur deal would boost world’s biggest meat company’s profits by over €1 billion - Greenpeace European Unit
According to Profundo’s research, JBS, the largest meat producer on earth, could gain €1.7 billion in extra profits before tax and €1.2 billion after tax by 2040 if the EU-Mercosur deal is adopted.

Really sad to see @volteuropa.org @voltnederland.org supporting a trade deal that is opposed by more than 450 orgs from civil society, consumers, trade unions, indigenous peoples, and over 2 million citizens across the EU. (see: stopeumercosur.org ) What gives, @volteuropa.org ??
VOLT’s liberal turn continues:

After voting @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu 2.0 in office (despite turning her back Green Deal, hawkish on migration and embracing deregulation) Volt now acritically supports MERCOSUR.

How can the EU Greens tolerate such an ideological gap with the panEU party?
