This politician is a tankie nutjob who happens to be a pro-palestinian activist.

She voted against every single EU resolution condemning Russia’s war on Ukraine.

She shared on social media a picture of a politician with this message :

“He is a friend of genociders. He sleeps well at night. That will not last long”

Then he received this message :

“I see your scared eyes in the halls of the European Parliament. You should be afraid. It’s just the beginning”

He ended up going to the police.

More recently, the French writer Boualem Sansal was jailed on bullshit charges in Algeria.

He did not have a fair trial. He didn’t even get access to a lawyer.

The European Parliament voted overwhelmingly to condemn his arrest and demand his release.

Rima Hassan was one of the only MEPs to vote against this resolution 🤦

One week ago, the EU Parliament issued a warning against her:

The President had decided to impose a penalty on Rima Hassan for having recorded during a plenary session a Member of the European Parliament without his consent, and having subsequently disseminated the video on her social media accounts, accompanied by a personal comment.

Her behaviour had harmed Parliament’s reputation and the principle of mutual respect among Members.
