Inhuman. Progressives in next European Parliament must make sure the EPP & Von der Leyen plan to copy UK's Rwanda scheme never materialises.

Strengthen Europe's borders, but sending trafficked & vulnerable people to third countries to be processed is sick.

A strategy where Putin escalates & the West draws endless red lines that enable Putin is unsustainable.

Defending Europe from fascist Russia should mean just that. Strategically, NATO & Europe shouldn't rule anything out!

A simple but clear message from .

Yes, to a European 🇪🇺 path for Georgia 🇬🇪 , no to the misery of Russian illiberalism.

Europe must stand with the people of Georgia!

I'm absolutely shocked that PSOE didn't nominate Ibán García 🇪🇸🇪🇺🇺🇦 & Domènec Ruiz Devesa for the European elections, two of the hardest working and most successful MEPs who achieved a lot in our joint efforts to improve rights & conditions for . This means a tremendous loss!

A century ago, the political centre all too willingly gave power to fascism….

Have we learnt anything?!

Where’s Meloni’s condemnation?

A note of realism on a day when EU-leaders gloat about enlargement: there will be no more members if we don’t fundamentally reform the way the EU works first.

Time to do our homework !

20 years ago today, 10 countries joined the EU… for freedom and opportunity, democracy and peace.

Especially in today’s world, where those values are in the defensive, never stop being a proud European !

As long as Putin is there, the whole region will continue to be destabilised.

The world has a duty to stand up against his authoritarianism, for peace !

Von der Leyen remaking Europe with the wrecking forces…

Climate, rule of law, defence, institutional reform… ECR has consistently opposed EU unity.

Renew Europe will never play this game !

The reality of Putin's war on civilisation, in Odesa.

While Greece, Spain, hold on to Patriot systems, joggers in Ukraine are cut down by cluster munitions.

Protect those who want freedom! 🙏

Macron’s urgency is absolutely necessary. Defence, tech, innovation… Europe needs a reboot !

The key lies with his fellow leaders: Europe needs more effective financing and decision-making… and the is refusing even to talk about it !

Radical right following the Putin line in Parliament’s resolution on the rigged Russian elections: AfD, Reconquête by voting against, Rassemblement National and Vlaams Belang by abstaining.

Russian interests are for them more important then Flemish, German or French interests !

Ostrich politics…
The commission refusing to outline Treaty reform together with enlargement is irresponsible, even insane

Ursula von der Leyen will need to be better and bolder if she wants a 2nd mandate !

Appeasement with Iran is useless, we need:
✔️ real sanctions against the leadership
✔️ recognise Revolutionary Guard as terrorist organisation
✔️ reach out to opposition as real representatives of Iranian people

Sovereignty for sale !

China and Russia are undermining our democracy and security… and the radical right is their Trojan horse !

EU ministers today : a lot of words but no actions !

What more do we need to fully support Ukraine? Send Patriots and the promised ammunition now !

And let’s finally start to work on a European Defense Union !

Putin's pal, Slovakia's PM Fico, refuses to send aid to Ukraine, so the Slovakians are crowdfunding it themselves, with over €3m raised in just a few days.

Roll this out across 🇪🇺!
Congratulations, 🇸🇰 Mier Ukrajine civil initiative Peace for Ukraine!
