Das fordern Abgeordnete der Fraktionen Renew Europe, S&D und The Greens/EFA im Europäischen Parlament, gemeinsam mit einer Allianz ehemaliger Abgeordneter des afghanischen Parlaments sowie Abgeordneten des Bundestags.
Denn die Europäische Kommission hat soeben Gespräche mit den Taliban geführt. Das bedeutet: Verhandlungen mit einem islamistischen Terror-Regime, das Frauen und Mädchen systematisch unterdrückt. Der Preis für die geplante Kooperation bei Abschiebungen? Die politische Anerkennung dieses Regimes!
Weitere demokratische Abgeordnete werden eingeladen, sich dem Offenen Brief anzuschließen.
Die Abgeordneten rufen alle Bürger*innen auf, diesen Appell breit mitzutragen und zu verstärken. Jede Stimme zählt!
This is a demand of the delegates and members of the parliamentary group Renew Europe, S&D, and Greens/EFA groups, together with an alliance of former members of the Afghan Parliament and members of the German Bundestag.
Because the European Commission has only just held talks with the Taliban. This means negotiations with an Islamist terrorist regime that systematically oppresses women and girls. The price for the planned cooperation on deportations? Political recognition of this regime!
Other democratic members of parliament are invited to join the open letter.
The Members of parliament call on all citizens to broadly support and amplify this appeal. Every voice counts!
An die Europäische Kommission, den Europäischen Auswärtigen Dienst und die Regierungen der EU-Mitgliedstaaten,
Im Jahr 2021 hat die Europäische Union klare Bedingungen für eine Zusammenarbeit mit den Taliban festgelegt: Einhaltung der Menschenrechte, ungehinderter humanitärer Zugang, Verpflichtungen zur Terrorismusbekämpfung und Schritte hin zu einer inklusiven Regierung. Seitdem hat sich Menschenrechtslage in Afghanistan dramatisch verschlechtert, insbesondere für Frauen und Mädchen.
Unter diesen Umständen ist die Einladung von Taliban-Vertretern nach Europa ein schwerer Fehler. Jede Einladung, jedes Visum, jedes offizielle Treffen verschafft den Taliban das, was sie seit ihrer Machtübernahme anstreben: politische Legitimität und internationale Anerkennung.
Wir fordern die Europäische Union und ihre Mitgliedstaaten daher auf:
Denn Europa darf diesem Regime keine Legitimität schenken!

Abgeordnete melden sich bitte hier: Hier unterschreiben!
To the European Commission, the European External Action Service, and the Governments of EU Member States,
In 2021, the European Union set out clear conditions for engagement with the Taliban: respect for human rights, unhindered humanitarian access, commitments on counter-terrorism, and meaningful steps towards an inclusive government. Since then the human rights situation has deteriorated dramatically, particularly for women and girls.
In these circumstances, inviting Taliban representatives to Europe is a serious mistake.
Each invitation, each visa, each official meeting provides the Taliban with what they have sought since taking power: political legitimacy and international recognition.
We therefore call on the European Union and its Member States to:
Because Europe must not grant this regime any legitimacy!
