One last time on a panel about #Belarus in #Warsaw this weekend before moving on to a new position at the end of this month. Still lots of other exciting events coming up in June though! In any case: Looking forward to this one hosted by Center for New Ideas Ryhor Astapenia :)

According to the ITUC Global Rights Index, Belarus ranks among the 10 worst countries for workers in 2025. The regime systematically persecutes workers and independent trade unions. Since 2020, union leaders have been jailed (29 activists remain imprisoned) and unions dissolved.

Today I spoke for the very last time on a panel about the situation in #Belarus. Time to move on after 5 years as the Belarus Representative of Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung soon. I witnessed the darkest, yet also the most inspiring period of the modern history of independent #Belarus. Дзякуй!

Took this 5 years ago when I had just moved to #Kyiv. Today is my last day in #Ukraine - and my 35th birthday. Not a coincidence that I am spending it here. Дякую! 🇺🇦

What an exciting way to finish my very first day in my new role. Participated in a great event on 50 years of Transición and had a chance to see the exhibition "España en Libertad. 50 Años" at the Spanish Embassy in Berlin and learn more about the Spanish fight for democracy 🇪🇦🇪🇺

Deutschland diskutiert längere Arbeitszeiten – aus der Zeit gefallen. Statt Beschäftigte als faul zu bezeichnen, belegen Daten das Gegenteil. Die Debatte ist eine Chance: für mehr Tarifbindung & echte Sozialpartnerschaft, meint unsere Kollegin Susan Javad. ipg-journal.de/rubriken/arbei…

Interesting days in #Madrid: We discussed strategies against far-right narratives together with progressive deputies from the EU, I got to know the work of our office in #Spain 🇪🇦 and of FES Democracy of the Future better and I also saw one of Europe's most beautiful Parliaments. :)
