CHPSRERT @CommissionerHR: Together we can counter the serious backlash against #LGBTI people across Europe. Let’s stand together and keep working for free, equal and inclusive societies.

CHPSRERT @ICIJorg: Ever wondered how we manage huge collaborations like the #PanamaPapers and #ImplantFiles? @propublica's @Riogringa created this playbook (in English and español) to help break it down. http://bit.ly/342A8Jd via @gijn http://twitter.com/CHPSRE/status/1187963666852802560

CHPSRERT @astroehlein: Le Pen applauded @vonderleyen for her use of the term. As in the European Parliament yesterday, the far right is cheering the centre right's moves, and the centre right sides with them rather than with democracy & human rights. http://bit.ly/2PkiA7f http://twitter.com/CHPSRE/status/1187962795741966339

CHPSRERT @astroehlein: See also: incoming @EU_Commission @vonderleyen's imitating the rhetoric of Marine Le Pen, Viktor Orbán, Nigel Farage, etc in conflating "protecting our way of life" with immigration control - straight from the far-right playbook. You won't beat them if you repeat them. http://twitter.com/CHPSRE/status/1187962783180021760

CHPSRERT @astroehlein: But what the NVA ended up doing was sending votes to the Vlaams Belang in large numbers. The NVA had simply normalized the ugly framing, making people feel comfortable voting Vlaams Belang – choosing the original instead of the NVA’s imitation of it. http://twitter.com/CHPSRE/status/1187962772954288131

CHPSRERT @astroehlein: See also: Belgium’s last election, in which some politicians in the right-wing NVA repeated Islamophobic lies and various far-right tropes, apparently thinking this would help them drain support from the even-further-right Vlaams Belang. http://twitter.com/CHPSRE/status/1187962761860378624

CHPSRERT @astroehlein: I say "destroying themselves" because what they do is normalise the extreme rhetoric & policies, but when election time comes, voters go for the far-right original rather than the conservative copy. http://twitter.com/CHPSRE/status/1187962751911526402

CHPSRERT @astroehlein: @FineGael @EPP Much of what in Europe we used to call the "centre right" or "conservative" parties are today busy destroying themselves by adopting far-right rhetoric and policies, wrongly thinking this will save them at election time. This is simply further proof. http://bit.ly/2MONV0e http://twitter.com/CHPSRE/status/1187962732982620161

CHPSRERT @astroehlein: By the way, @FineGael is part of @epp, which has been promoting hate-mongering authoritarians like Orbán in Hungary for years, even as he undermined democracy & human rights. Not really surprising maybe that EPP voted with the bloodlust parties on this. http://twitter.com/CHPSRE/status/1187962679454912513

CHPSRERT @astroehlein: Representatives of Europe's authoritarian parties _literally_ cheered when the vote went through condeming countless people to death. If human life is not our top priority, what is? http://bit.ly/2onJIr2 http://twitter.com/CHPSRE/status/1187962658252705792
