GREEN SCREEN RECAP - BURNING OUT: WHY OUR HEALTHCARE WORKERS NEED MORE THAN
JUST APPLAUSE 

As part of The Green Screen project in which we explore films and debates
for a better future, we explored how burn out has been affecting hospital
workers pre- and post-Pandemic. This month, we featured the film 'Burning
Out' following staff in a Parisian hospital and held a debate on how to
guarantee healthcare as a common good.

BAN CLEAR-CUTTING IN EUROPEAN FORESTS

Our forests are under threat. Right now, our continent's last ancient
forests are being cut down. Clear-cutting is rampant across Europe. The
speed at which heavy harvesters are chopping down Europe's forests demands
urgent action from European leaders.

NEWS FROM OUR MEMBER PARTIES

PRIDE IN BUDAPEST

Our Hungarian member party LMP - Magyarország Zöld Pártja along with
Staf Aerts, MP from the Flemish Green Party Groen, as well as Green MEPs
Terry Reintke, Henrike Hahn and Kim van Sparrentak, and other members of
our green family, went to Budapest Pride during the weekend to support the
LGBTI community in their fight for dignity and equal rights in Europe.

The European Union is a #LGBTIFreedomZone [14]: we cannot tolerate Viktor
Orbán using the LGBTI community as a scapegoat to further entrench
societal divides in Hungary and advance his own political goals in the
shade of the debates he started.

The European Commission has finally initiated 3 cases against Hungary and
Poland as part of an infringement procedure due to their breaches of EU law
and the rights of LGBTI persons. Yet, the Commission still refuses to
address systemic problems with the rule of law in EU countries, despite a
regulation tying disbursement of EU funds to the rule of law situation in
member states coming into force at the beginning of this year, and despite
its own recently published rule of law report identifying several serious
problems with the handling of EU funds in Hungary.

It is high time for concerns and worries to be turned into action. If the
Commission is serious about addressing taxpayer euros ending up in the
pockets of politicians' friends and family, about protecting the rights of
all EU citizens to be equal before the law, and about protecting the
financial interests and the legal order of the Union it needs to use the
tools it was given.
