RT @VeraJourova: #SOTEU: We have seen #disinformation spreading within Europe, even at our universities. These lies are toxic to our #democracy. We need to better shield ourselves, @vonderleyen proposes a Defence of Democracy Pact. Autocracies cannot attack our #democracy.

RT @vonderleyen: Die Zahl der Arbeitslosen ist so niedrig wie nie zuvor.
Gleichzeitig liegt die Zahl der offenen Stellen auf Rekordniveau.
Wir müssen daher viel stärker in die Bildung investieren.
Deshalb schlage ich vor, 2023 zum Jahr der Aus- und Weiterbildung zu machen.

We are inspired by those who stood up to injustice then and we support those who do it today, as the horrors of war are back in Europe.
Ukrainians are giving their lives to protect the values on which our Union is built.
