And for this, we should use the strengths of the Internal Market.
We welcome today's #EPlenary support to the #MinimumWages Directive provisional agreement!
It's a milestone to ensure progress in reducing in-work poverty, narrowing the gender pay gap & building more inclusive & resilient economies & societies across Europe 🇪🇺
#Pegasus - we're at a crossroad:
▶️ Either we accept that now everyone, even in 🇪🇺, will be spied on.
▶️ Or we finally acknowledge that things are spiralling out of control. And we start exposing this & stop it.
I really want us to go down the second road.

#Ukrainian citizens, refugees, poor EU citizens, victims of the energy crisis and inflation, they all need our help!
