is a day of multiple #EU anniversaries, not all of them tragic. #OTD in 1979, Auschwitz survivor and all-around force of nature #SimoneVeil became President of the first #EuropeanParliament directly elected by citizens. Every time I see footage of the event, all I can think of is:
1. This should be on our new 20 bill and
2. I NEED that chair!
(It will come as no surprise that member states fought hard against this happening and that EP dudes treated her with contempt.) #EUhistory #EUpol
En 1974, Simone Veil, l’IVG, la droite et la haine extrême
Aux #ArchivesNationales, une exposition rappelle la tension de #SimoneVeil au moment de présenter, le 26 novembre 1974, son projet de loi sur l’#IVG. En complément, plongée dans les vingt-cinq heures de débats ahurissants ayant suivi à l’#AssembléeNationale.
La députée Mathilde Panot essuie les foudres du petit-fils de Simone Veil à cause d’un photomontage de l’icône du droit à l’IVG présentée avec la députée LFI. Folie des grandeurs ou mauvais goût? « Quelle indignité », réagit la famille. On ne touche pas à Simone Veil…
@EU_Commission other countries have already done the bird thing, it's pretty but unoriginal.
My two proposals:
1. European values: embodied by women like #SophieScholl #MargaKlompé #SimoneVeil #SofiaCorradi
(Bit odd that for all the publicity you guys get out of #Erasmus you almost never mention the woman who created it against fierce opposition from member states governments who were and continue to be The Worst...)
1979 Simone Veil, lawyer, politician, Auschwitz survivor, feminist icon is elected President of the first directly elected #EuropeanParliament
Very interesting "leak" in @euractiv, great insight into our national governments insecurities regarding #EU #electoralreform We're organising #Europeanelections2024 in a legal regime unchanged since #SimoneVeil became #EPPresident in 1979 because our political class in member states is either unwilling or unable to treat their voters like grownups who need to have The #Europe Tradeoffs Talk. The #democracy version of ceding the flag to the #farright imo.
