We strongly condemn this action by the #EPP, which comes in a broader context that has been developing over the last years. We therefore call for EPP MEPs to stop adopting far-right positions and positions contrary to #EU values.
Yesterday, the @eppgroup.bsky.social sided with the far-right to reject European Parliament’s report on the Implementation of the EU’s Charter of Fundamental Rights, deleting key text on equality & victims' rights.
We call on all members of the Portuguese Parliament to reject three bills to be debated on 19–20 March. If ultimately adopted, they would roll back protections for trans and intersex people, undermining rights, healthcare access, and legal recognition, and reversing years of progress.
#LittlebyLittle has started!
