1939. gada 9. septembrī mazajā Mošinu ciematiņā netālu no Poznaņas iebrūk vērmahta karavīri. Nekavējoties sākas represijas, aresti un masu slepkavības. Traģiskākais ir 1943. gads, kad vācu okupācijas iestādes Mošinas iedzīvotājus apsūdz par dalību pretošanās kustībā. Vajāšanas skar arī Ježēviču ģimeni.

LV 75. Aušvicas koncentrācijas nometnes atbrīvošanas 75. gadadiena: Marias stāsts

На 9 септември 1939 година войниците на Вермахта влизат в Мошина, градче близо до Познан. Веднага започват репресии, арести, масови убийства. Най-трагичните събития се случват през 1943 година, когато германската окупационна власт разкрива съществуването на съпротивително движение в Мошина. Фамилията Йежевич е едно от преследваните семейства.

The European Audience Film Award – superseding the former EFA People’s Choice Award and the Lux Prize – is a newly configured European audience award, jointly created and launched in September 2020 by the European Parliament and the European Film Academy, in partnership with the European Commission and Europa Cinemas.

The three nominated films were&nbsp;announced on 11 December 2021 at the European Film Awards.&nbsp;

“Flee” by Danish director Jonas Poher Rasmussen, produced by Denmark, France, Sweden, Norway. In this animation, Amin recounts his journey as an Afghan child refugee who arrived in Denmark on his own. He tries to make peace with the past but also with himself and the secrets he has been hiding.

“Great Freedom” by Austrian director Sebastian Meise, produced by Austria and Germany. In post-war Germany, Hans ends up imprisoned time and again for being gay. He is denied freedom systematically for breaching paragraph 175 of the German Criminal Code. The one constant in his life becomes his long-time cellmate, Viktor, a convicted murderer.

“Quo vadis Aida?” by Bosnian director Jasmila Žbanić, produced by Bosnia and Herzegovina, Austria, Netherlands, France, Poland, Norway, Germany, Romania, and Turkey. Aida is a translator for the peacekeeping forces in the summer of 1995, in Srebrenica. Her family is among the thousands of civilians seeking shelter in the UN camp. Aida learns that a terrible fate awaits her family and people, but can she do anything to stop it?

The three nominated films will now be subtitled in the 24 official EU languages and screenings across EU cinemas will be promoted and supported.

EU citizens will be able to vote on these films starting from 12 December. The winner will be selected jointly by the members of the European Parliament and the public, each making up 50% of the vote.

Voting will conclude on 25 May 2022, with the winning film announced on 8 June 2022 in the European Parliament plenary sitting in Strasbourg.

Worldwide, forests are being lost at the alarming rate of 800 football fields per hour. With deforestation being a critical contributor to climate change and a leading cause of biodiversity loss, it is becoming increasingly clear that a sustainable future cannot be achieved without tackling deforestation and taking measures to protect- and sustainably manage forests. In November the European&nbsp;Commission adopted three new initiatives that are necessary for making the&nbsp;European Green Deal&nbsp;a reality.

The Commission is proposing new rules to curb EU-driven deforestation, as well as new rules to facilitate intra-EU waste shipments to promote circular economy and tackle the export of illegal waste and waste challenges to third countries. The Commission also presented&nbsp;a new Soil strategy to have all European soils restored, resilient, and adequately protected by 2050.

The tools should help to move to a circular economy, protect nature, and raise environmental standards in the European Union and in the world. Just counting from 1990 to 2020 the world has lost lost 420 million hectares of forest – an area larger than the European Union. The proposed new rules would guarantee that the products that EU citizens buy, use and consume on the EU market do not contribute to global deforestation and forest degradation. The main driver of these processes is agricultural expansion linked to the commodities soy, beef, palm oil, wood, cocoa and coffee, and some of their derived products.

The Regulation sets mandatory due diligence rules for companies which want to place these commodities on the EU market with the aim to ensure that only deforestation-free and legal products are allowed on the EU market.

MEPs have already called for strengthening the overall climate benefits from forests and the forest-based value chain, namely CO2 absorption and carbon storage in wood-based products. Parliament also emphasises the need to increase funding for research into the substitution of fossil fuels and fossil-fuel materials. Forests and the entire forest-based value chain are fundamental to further develop of the circular bio-economy, which delivers important climate change mitigation and adaptation services.Parliament wants binding targets to protect and restore forest ecosystems, especially primary forests (those that have not been been affected by people's actions in recent times).

The Roma are Europe's largest ethnic minority. Out of an estimated total of 10-12 million in Europe, some 6 million live in the EU, and most of them are citizens of an EU country. &nbsp;The estimated share of the Roma in EU countries in 2012 ranges from 10.3% in Bulgaria, 9.1% in Slovakia, 8.3% in Romania, 7% in Hungary, 2.5% in Greece, 2% in Czechia and 1.6% in Spain, to less than 1% in most of the other countries.

Excessive force, police brutality and misconduct against Romani people continue to be reported across the EU, in line with the&nbsp;2020 findings&nbsp;of the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA).

The FRA report also revealed that Romani people are subject to widespread poverty, inadequate living conditions, poor health, exclusion from the labour market and harassment.

In its resolution of September 2020,&nbsp;Parliament condemned&nbsp;the persisting social exclusion and anti-gypsyism that lead to the disproportionate criminalisation of Romani people. During a recent&nbsp;debate in the Civil Liberties Committee, MEPs called on the Commission and the member states to put forward better legislation and specific policy measures to prevent such incidents and ensure justice for victims, while placing the fight against anti-gypsyism at the heart of EU policies.
