⚡️European Parliament adopts resolution in support of granting Ukraine, Moldova candidate status for EU membership 'without delay.'

According to the European Parliament's statement published on June 23, the EU should do the same with Georgia “once its government has delivered.”

Ukraine’s urgency to join the EU and 27 countries green lighting talks at record speed shames Brextemist plastic patriots who claimed leaving was about democracy, freedom and sovereignty.

I recall a fair few were Putin fans, Russia’s new Tsar backing Brexit to weaken the UK & EU

Micheal Martin made comments today before the historic vote.

He said: “This is a very significant European Council meeting.”

“It’s historic in the sense of the enlargement of the European Union and I’m particularly pleased as a long-standing advocate for Ukraine’s application to candidate status to become a member of the European Union.

“It’s very significant for Ukraine, very significant for Moldova and, indeed, Georgia, in terms of European perspective.

“We in Ireland know what the European Union means, being a member of the European Union. It’s the 50th anniversary of Ireland’s decision to join the European Union, probably the single most transformative decision and event that happened in modern Irish history.

“So, I always cannot comprehend how we could ever refuse accession to other member states, because we know that membership itself can be transformative.

“It can spur on reforms, can spur on economic development, and notwithstanding that Ukraine is going through a terrible, terrible, inhumane war, their cities and towns have been levelled, their people have been terrorised – the greatest humanitarian crisis since World War Two.

“And I think today the European Union is sending a message of solidarity to the people of Ukraine that you belong to the European family, you belong to the European Union, and the decision will be taken today to facilitate your application and you will have candidate status to join the European Union along with Moldova and, over time, with Georgia.”

Since you are here

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
