中國霸凌行為逾越歐盟的價值底線
歐洲議會議員強力支持立陶宛與台灣發展關係
來自歐洲議會 #5大主流黨團、 #20個會員國 共 #62位重量級歐洲議會議員 公開聯名致函，這封信對象是立陶宛總統、總理及國會議長，同時副本歐盟高層，針對中國近來的威脅、恐嚇與霸凌(太離譜了 真的太離譜了)，展現與立陶宛團結一致的支持，並強調台灣在國際社會中扮演至關重要的角色，所有歐洲聯盟會員國均有權利與台灣深化經濟、文化與外交關係。
此外，歐洲議會副議長 #卡斯塔多 也表示支持立陶宛與台灣深化關係的決定，他也是歐洲議會最近通過挺台報告的一大推手呦～～
卡斯塔多在臉書表示，針對歐盟強化對台關係， #歐洲是時候該大力支持了 ，他最近接受義大利媒體「宣言報」訪問表示，台灣與歐盟共享多元 #民主 #自由 及 #尊重法治 精神，而違反人權及具侵略性的外交政策，歐盟都不能坐視不管保持沉默。
外交部誠摯感謝歐洲盟友持續用具體行動立挺台灣及立陶宛，未來台灣將持續與立陶宛及歐盟等理念相近夥伴保持密切交流，鞏固全球民主陣營力量！
62 cross-party MEPs signed an open letter to #Lithuania’s President Gitanas Nausėda, Speaker of the Seimas Viktorija Čmilytė-Nielsen and Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė expressing their support for the people of Lithuania amid the threats, intimidation and bullying behaviour they’ve suffered at the hands of the PRC.
The letter, which was also forwarded to the leadership of the #EuropeanUnion, condemned the pattern of using “de-facto trade sanctions” against countries in an attempt to coerce them into geopolitical acquiescence. The letter called for the EU to reiterate the right of all its member states to conduct their economic, cultural and diplomatic relations with #Taiwan as they see fit, adding that Taiwan has a vital role to play in the international community.
This comes as European Parliament Vice President Fabio Massimo Castaldo took to Facebook to say it was time for Europe to strongly support bolstering relations with Taiwan, following an interview with Italian daily il manifesto in which he condemned human rights abuses in China and emphasized Taiwan as an important partner in the Indo-Pacific region.
Taiwan strives to be a force for stability and good in the international community and we’ll continue to safeguard our values of #democracy, #freedom and respect for #HumanRights and #RuleOfLaw, shoulder to shoulder with our #LikeMinded partners in Lithuania and the #EU.
