Thick board
I think podcasts are a good format for bringing politics closer to citizens, informing them about the issues I am working on and what everyday life is like in the European Parliament, why do parliamentary processes work the way they do and not the other way around, and why do they often work in a different way than you would imagine?

After the election successes in Schleswig-Holstein and NRW already the 3rd big success for @nouripour in the last two weeks! 😀 #SGERFC
Good news, the public pressure has worked! Two refugees who were charged in Greece have been released! They were facing a total of 240 years in prison for fleeing to Greece, even though they were obviously innocent. #Samos2

#IDAHOBIT2022 is a good day to remember that many queer refugees are deported from Germany even though they face persecution after deportation. I hope that @NancyFaeser can quickly achieve improvements here.
I think that the CDU is on the verge of ending the war in Ukraine and saving the country, if in its very successful and not at all party-politically motivated prioritization it is still 3-4 days upset about the flight of the son of Minister #Lambrecht.

Hello Dortmund, today on #Europatag we talk about human rights oriented refugee policy on EU and state level. I'm looking forward to you and the exchange; and especially also to @ErikMarquardt and to our great candidates @Twipsi & @jennybrunner_do 🌻
People run through the streets waving Russian flags and invoking freedom of expression, while in Russia people are imprisoned for holding up empty signs.
They are so lucky that we don't want to live in the world they aspire to.1TP3DayofDeliverance
Am now on a panel on the Frontex referendum in #Switzerland. There is a vote in Switzerland on May 15 to participate in the #Frontex budget increase. There is also a livestream and you can also watch that later.
📣 Soon the panel discussion will start! Among others, @erikmarquardt (@GreensEFA) and @marionnasch will discuss tonight what the problems around Frontex are and how a better Schengen could look like.

Andrea Costa, president of the Ital. NGO Baobab, was on trial for helping refugees. He was threatened with 18 years imprisonment, now he was acquitted.
It is good that the official intimidation and criminalization of humanitarian aid was not successful in this case.
