Hi @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu! Oops, you forgot to include the Global Fund's 8th replenishment Summit. If the #EU is to be a #globalhealth leader like you called for in your #SOTEU, we call on the Commission to demonstrate its commitment to global health by pledging โ‚ฌ800m tomorrow. #StopAtNothing

Great points made by @kstoreng.bsky.social on the need for public interests to take precedence over private interests in global health discussions. "Commitment to multi stakeholder inclusion cannot come at the expense of adequate rules and expectations for all"

๐Ÿ“ฃ @ec.europa.eu you now have a chance to match the EPโ€™s ambition with a budget that will allow the EU to lead globally!

As you prepare the next #MFF proposal, we call for an ODA budget of at least โ‚ฌ200 billion. Our prosperity and security are inextricably linked with those of our partners.

We don't NEED to chose between #defence and #internationaldevelopment.
