My dad was born in the year of the Kristallnacht, I when the Wall was built, my son Marc when it came down, my son Max when the EU ended the divide. Peace and freedom; let’s pass it on to the next generations.

.@michaelgove One step ahead of you. EU legislation on single-use plastics coming before the summer. Maybe you can align with us? #EUDoesntSuck #StrongerTogether #PlasticsStrategy https://t.co/hbBBXT1eGa

Being gay is not an ideology, it’s who you are. Just like being black or white or a woman or a man. In Europe, nobody should be attacked or excluded for who they are. LGBTI-free zones are a manifestation of an ideology that brought Europe only misery and violence. Say NO to hate!

It is with a heavy heart that we have activated Article 7(1). But the facts leave us with no choice. We have no other option. This is not just about Poland, it is about the EU as a whole. We continue to hope that we can enter into a more fruitful dialogue.
