16Th of December 2020 Dear Vice-President Schinas, Dear
16th of December 2020 Dear Vice-President Schinas, Dear Commissioner Johansson, Last September we reported to you about the dramatic situation of migrants and refugees and the local population on the island of Lesvos after the fire in the Moria camp. In the letter we sent you, we already warned you about the inhuman conditions in the new Kara Tepe camp: no access to water or electricity, no proper sanitation, no medication or the possibility of implementing Covid19 prevention measures. We also denounced the unacceptable treatment of people who were covid-positive, locked behind a fence but without adequate hygiene measures. Two months ago we said that the site did not have the environmental and geographical conditions to give shelter to these people: that it was exposed to wind, humidity and cold. At that time, the justification of the European Union and the Greek government was that the urgent and sudden nature of the accident had forced the establishment of the new camp in record time, even though we had already warned that this justification was not valid. It was only a matter of time before such a tragedy occurred. It is in this context that we again denounce with great sorrow the situation in which the Kara Tepe camp finds itself. After the fire, the Commission rushed to say that there would be no more Morias. But the truth is that the conditions in which they find themselves are even worse despite the colossal amounts of money supposedly spent on works for this “temporary” camp. Hence, more than 8,000 people living in tents in Kara Tepe are exposed to inhuman conditions and, on top of it all, this week they have been flooded.

Green Deal – the Coordinators
Green Deal – The Coordinators David Sassoli S&D ”I want the European Green Deal to become Europe’s hallmark. At the heart of it is our commitment to becoming the world’s first climate-neutral continent. It is also a long-term economic imperative: those who act first European Parliament and fastest will be the ones who grasp the opportunities from the ecological transition. I want Europe to be 1 February 2020 – H1 2024 the front-runner.

Guidelines for an Alternative Policy on Migration Based on Human Rights and Solidarity
GUIDELINES FOR AN ALTERNATIVE POLICY ON MIGRATION BASED ON HUMAN RIGHTS AND SOLIDARITY GUE/NGL MEPs reject the EU’s repressive approach to immigration. We believe Europe has a historical duty to develop a comprehensive and reasonable migration policy that guarantees human rights. GUE/NGL has long opposed the construction of ‘fortress Europe’ and has worked at the forefront of the No-Fortress Europe campaign to highlight the positive aspects of immigration and put forward policies based on the free movement of individuals which promote human rights. Together with NGOs, GUE/NGL MEPs have repeatedly expressed concerns about how much of the EU budget has been used to strengthen the EU’s external borders, whether now through an increased budget for border control in the Internal Security Fund, border surveillance systems like EUROSUR or Smart borders, return or FRONTEX. GUE/NGL MEPs remain committed to oppose any EU budget that would not be in line with the following guidelines: 1. Setting up a massive and robust proactive multinational rescue operation in the Mediterranean at the height of the humanitarian drama unfolding in the Mediterranean, including boats stationed on the high seas. 2. Stopping any military intervention aiming to target the boats and the smugglers. 3. Opening safe and legal access for migrants and asylum-seekers, including the use of humanitarian visas and resettlement for asylum-seekers. 4. Member states to facilitate family reunification beyond the nuclear family of both beneficiaries of international protection and migrants present in the territory of an EU member state. 5. Increased cooperation with UN actors and member states in full compliance with international law, including on Maritime Search and Rescue, non-refoulement, international protection, fundamental rights, the rights of the child and the right to family life as well as ECHR court judgements.

RE: Release of Hirak Rif Prisoners During Public Health Crisis
Brussels, 4 September 2020 Miguel Urbán Crespo European Parliament Bât. Willy Brandt 60, rue Wiertz / Wiertzstraat 60 B-1047 Bruxelles/Brussel [email protected] Head of Government of the Kingdom of Morocco Mr Saad-Eddine El Othmani Head of Mission of the Kingdom of Morocco to the President of the National Human Rights Council European Union Ms Amina Bouayach Mr Ahmed Rahhou RE: release of Hirak Rif prisoners during public health crisis To the Head of Government of the Kingdom of Morocco, Mr Saad-Eddine El Othmani, We write to you in a spirit of solidarity in these difficult times. As Members of the European Parliament, we reiterate our concerns regarding the situation of the Hirak Rif political prisoners in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many remain in closed, densely crowded prisons where they are at acute risk of contamination and commonly lack adequate access to healthcare. Furthermore, the physical condition of several Hirak Rif prisoners is severely weakened by intermittent hunger strikes. We remain particularly concerned about the health situation of Nabil Ahamjik and Nasser Zefzafi, who are detained in isolation modules and have been on hunger strike since 14 August; Mohamed Haki, Bilal Ahabad and Zakaria Adahchour, who are also on hunger strike; Achraf Moudid, whose health situation is complicated by a recent suicide attempt; Wassim Bousttati, who is in urgent need of surgery for his heart condition; and Mohamed Jelloul, who is detained in isolation. We therefore call on you, as Head of the Government of the Kingdom of Morocco, to prioritise humanitarian considerations and release all Hirak political prisoners in accordance with the recommendations made by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and the repeated calls by the Freedom and Human Rights Organisation.

Brussels, to the Attention of Members of the European Parliament Who
CATHERINE ASHTQN ANDRIS PIEBALGS HIGH REPRESENTATIVE MEMBER OF THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION VICE PRESIDENT OF THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION DEVELOPMENT Brussels, A(2013)3540142-3819594 To the attention of Members of the European Parliament who signed the letter of 20 November Dear Colleagues, Thank you for your letter of 20 November addressed to both of us as well as to Commissioners Georgieva and De Gucht concerning land acquisitions in Colombia. Land issues axe obviously one of the key dimensions of the decade-old internal conflict in Colombia and therefore deserve close attention on the part of the EU. This is the reason why the EU has been devoting considerable financial resources to funding projects aimed at helping displaced people, at facilitating their return and reintegration and at supporting people at risk in the framework of the land restitution process. Moreover, the EU is also directly contributing to the implementation of the law on victims and land restitution through a project funded in the framework of the instrument for stability. At political level, the issues related to the implementation of the law are also discussed regularly in the framework of the various dialogue fora between the EU and Colombia, including the EU-Coiombia Dialogue on Human Rights. The EU is also engaged in exchanges with the Colombian authorities about mining and natural resources, which have an obvious relation with land use and occupation issues. The EU is hopeful that the current negotiations between the FARC and the Colombian authorities should, if they are successful, contribute to reducing tensions about land in Colombia. We have also been informed that the Colombian institute for Rural Development (INCODER), in charge of the formalisation of land titles, has launched a number of enquiries into a number of cases of alleged undue accumulation of agricultural family units (IJAF), including in the region to which your correspondence refers.

Hon. Mr President of the European Parliament, Dear David Sassoli
Hon. Mr President of the European Parliament, Dear David Sassoli, Since March, when the outbreak of COVID-19 intensified in Europe, the functioning of the European Parliament (EP) has changed dramatically, due to the sanitary measures applied. We understand the inevitability of the contingency plan, taking into account the need to prevent infection and the spread of the virus and to protect the health and lives of people. Six months later, the functioning of the EP is gradually returning to normal. However, there are services whose unavailability seriously impairs parliamentary work, namely the interpretation service. The European Union (EU) has 24 official languages and all deserve the same respect and treatment. We recognize that the number of languages available in committee meeting rooms has been increasing, but even so, more than half of the languages still have no interpretation. Multilingualism is a right enshrined in the Treaties that allows Members to express themselves in their own language. Now, that is not happening and we are concerned that the situation will continue, even taking into account the expected workflow in the commissions after these atypical six months. In this sense, we appeal, once again, to you, the President of the EP for the application of the letter and the spirit of the principle of multilingualism, finding solutions that respect this principle and that allow the use of any of the 24 official languages of the EU. The expression of each deputy in her/his own language is a priority so that there can be conditions to fully exercise the mandate for which she/he was elected and a condition of respect for the citizens who elected her/him.

Influentials׳ in Twitter: a Comparative Approach Between Portugal And
Observatorio (OBS*) Journal, vol.10 - nº2 (2016), 111-128 1646-5954/ERC123483/2016 111 Flows of communication and ‘influentials’ in Twitter: A comparative approach between Portugal and Spain during 2014 European Elections Inês Amaral*, Rocío Zamora**, María del Mar Grandío***, José Manuel Noguera**** *Centro de Estudos de Comunicação e Sociedade da Universidade do Minho / Universidade Autónoma de Lisboa / Instituto Superior Miguel Torga ([email protected]) **Faculty member, Departament of Information and Communication, University of Murcia, España. ***Faculty member, Departament of Information and Documentation, University of Murcia, España. ****Profesor de Tecnología en la Facultad de Comunicación, Universidad Católica de Murcia, España. Abstract The research about the concept of influence on Twitter is still underdeveloped. This work is a theoretical and empirical approach on how politicians are engaging with citizens and/or journalists, and how these social conversations are framed under specific topics and users. The idea of new influentials on political communication in the new media ecosystem, as some studies found (Dang-Xuan et al, 2013), can offer empirical pursuit of the suggested ‘two-step flow model’ as applied to the agenda-setting process (Weimann et al., 2007) in the case of the microblogging for campaigning online. Following the recent research about how politicians try to reach their potential audience (Vaccari and Valeriani, 2013; 2013a), this paper analyses the social conversations on Twitter driven by politicians, the main topics in these political conversations and the kind of flows of communication (direct or indirect) between politicians, journalists and citizens. This research explores the differences and similarities about influence on Twitter during European elections in two countries with similar political and economic contexts: Portugal and Spain.
