Resolution on strengthening Moldova’s resilience against Russian hybrid threats and malign interference

Zu Absatz 12 der Moldau-Entschließung beantragten einige Fraktionen eine getrennte Abstimmung über Teile des Absatzes. Wir sind den Empfehlungen des Schattenberichterstatters unserer Fraktion gefolgt und haben gegen die betreffenden Textteile gestimmt. NEOS steht fest an der Seite der LGBTIQ+-Gemeinschaft und unterstützt alle Menschen unabhängig von ihrer sexuellen Orientierung oder Geschlechtsidentität. Bei dieser speziellen Abstimmung, so kurz vor den Parlamentswahlen in Moldau, ist es wichtig, russischer Desinformation und Propaganda keinen zusätzlichen Spielraum zu geben.
