The EU must take the US’ withdrawal as leader of the free world as an opportunity to step into that role: to fund where USAID retreats, to hire talent, to boost its industry and defense, to step up and reinvigorate democratic leadership. Bring people along in this future vision

We are going through a time of profound flux in the world. Without rules and guardrails, we risk unpredictability, violence and chaos. We must uphold multilateralism & protect the institutions that safeguard human rights. #MSC2025

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

I stand with Ukraine and the free world. Слава Украiни!

"We are the darkest page of history" Afghan women sing in protest. This #IWD is another day of erasure for us Afghan women. Under 126 Taliban edicts, our faces are banned, our voices silenced, our dignity stolen. This is gender apartheid. Do not look away.

“When gender equality, women’s enjoyment of human rights and sexual and reproductive health and rights are under attack, I am proud that Sweden continues to stand up, push back and keep pushing for progress”. 🇸🇪 Minister Paulina Brandberg

Thank you Volodymyr for bringing us together again. Sweden will continue to support Ukraine, as a dedicated partner and as a member of the Coalition of the Willing. We support the full and unconditional ceasefire for at least 30 days. It is now up to Russia to accept the

Wrapping up an important visit to #Sweden, fruitful discussions with Government, Parliament, HRH Princess Victoria & private sector on human rights challenges & multilateralism. Grateful for Sweden’s steadfast support & shared commitment to equality & justice for all.

Att inte svika dem som tjänat Sverige är en hederssak. Regeringen måste få (Sd) att acceptera att Sverige tar emot de afghaner som stöttat utsänd svensk trupp och nu är i fara i talibanernas Afghanistan. Den som inte ger hjälp får heller inte någon.

Democracy around the world is under siege, and let's be clear. No knight in shining armor is coming to save us. It's on all of us to save our countries and our rights.

Bill Kristol I stället för att kommentera Trumps dagliga stolligheter rekommenderar jag Erik Åsards analys i dagens DN Kultur av Trumps marsch bort från demokratin i USA. Hämnd ,rädsla, oberäknelighet och showmanship är hans verktyg. Europa måste nu bli demokratins globala försvarare.

Belém must be the COP that delivers. Delivers on tripling renewables & doubling energy efficiency by 2030. Delivers for the countries vulnerable to climate change. Delivers robust climate finance and carbon pricing. Europe will play its part ↓ x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

This is why COP30 matters.

10 years after its adoption, the Paris Agreement has helped shift global warming pathways away from a devastating 4–5°C future. Yet, the plans & policies on the table still lead to temperatures clearly above 2°C by the end of the century – an existential threat for millions. At

The #COP30 climate conference must be a turning point. The International Court of Justice CIJ_ICJ has made clear: every State has human rights obligations in the face of #ClimateChange. The urgency and scale of the crisis demand transformative action grounded in human rights.

Democracy is the foundation of our freedom. Democracy is the foundation of our prosperity. Democracy is the foundation of our security. The European Democracy Shield will protect and reinforce free speech, independent media, resilient institutions and a vibrant civil society.

When Europe speaks up with one voice, for human rights and the rule of law, the world listens. Very pleased to engage with the #EU Foreign Affairs Council today in Brussels. Kaja Kallas Kajsa Ollongren

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas: “Coming from a country that ranks second in the freedom of speech index, and for me to hear lectures about free speech from a country [the US] that ranks 58th in that same index is interesting”🇪🇺🇺🇸
