No agreement between Greece and  its Eurogroup partners on Thursday.

Greece refuses the text on  an extension of its bailout programme

set up by the Eurogroup as a condition for  renegotiating the country’s debt mountain.

On Tuesday, members of the European  United Left were rather positive, though.

We are working intensely  on finding a win-win solution

which will help not only  the Greek economy and society

but the entire Eurozone  to overcome the problems it suffers from.

With terrorism topping the agenda  of the European Summit on 12 February,

MEPs outlined their priorities in plenary:

and discourage young people from  leaving Europe to fight in Syria and Iraq.

We have to think about what went wrong  in the past, what we did wrong.

And one major question  is education and integration in the society.

Europe’s leaders came to an agreement  with the Russian and Ukrainian Presidents

in Minsk this week: an immediate ceasefire  and a widened demilitarized zone.

But some MEPs remain extremely  sceptical of Russia’s promises.

Such agreements are merely  part of a dissembling approach

to gradually legitimise territorial gains

before embarking  on another round of attack.

Even Chancellor Merkel admits that  this agreement remains rather fragile.
