⁉️Roma people lost EU representation and for other groups experiencing racism, it also looks like the parties forgot about a huge percentage of our population! Where will this Parliament go concerning inclusive policies when that little representation we’ve had vanished⁉️

Last week we presented findings at the EP from a research we did for @ENAREurope in view of the upcoming #EUElections2024 and some of it made it here 👇@deivgenes @tommasibea @MGraziaMontella @SahizerSamuk @tinailaria
The proportion of racialised MEPs @Europarl_EN looks set to dip below current 3.3% vs estimated 10% of population. Factors include Brexit, fewer seats for progressives, less focus on racial justice, say @JuliePascoet @ENAREurope & @tinailaria @IntegrimLab

We are far from being #UnitedInDiversity. Black people continue to be one of the most discriminated groups in EU. New report from
@EURightsAgency shows anti-Black racism is pervasive in all areas of life. We need structural solutions to tackle #structuralracism
#EUAntiRacism
What does being Black in the EU mean?
A new #EURightsAgency report reveals widespread racism, harassment & discrimination. It also points to rising inequalities at work, education & housing.

‼️ Any 'solution' that involves disproportionately and violently targeting refugees depending on their origin should not even be on the table for a political entity that has built its whole identity on the idea of solidarity.

Another day, another disturbing message being spelled out by the UK government about the value of non-British lives: Asylum seekers are being forced onto Bibby Stockholm, despite the fire concerns and multiple far-right threats to blow up the barge.

"But “safe and legal routes” into the #EU are a myth. We have restricted them, for instance, by deploying dogs to viciously attack those trying to cross EU borders, propelling asylum seekers into the hands of smugglers with our own border policies" politico.eu/article/migratio…

📢Yesterday ENAR met with Civil society organisations to highlight and discuss the impact of increasingly shrinking civic space on racialised HRDs and HRDs working on anti-racism in Europe.
