14 years ago, Russia started a brutal pattern by invading independent Georgia to halt its pro-European choice.

We will never accept the ‘right of might’.

#Georgia 🇬🇪 belongs to the European family of values.

@europarl_en continues to stand firmly with the people of Georgia.

On 4 August 1944 a 14-year old girl & her family were arrested by Nazis.

#AnneFrank's writings exposed us to what millions of innocent girls, boys, women & men endured.

Our duty is to remember. To keep Anne Frank’s memory - & all victims of the #Holocaust - alive.

#NeverForget

Awareness, enforcement, safety.

@europarl_en joins @UN on the World Day Against Trafficking of Persons.

Today we reaffirm our commitment to 🇺🇦 as a European nation. As a 🇪🇺 candidate country.

A nation free to make its own choices. Free to choose its own destiny. Free to live the values that bind us all.

Thank you for standing up. For inspiring the world.

Addressing 🇺🇦 @ua_parliament with President @ZelenskyyUa, Speaker @r_stefanchuk, 🇱🇹 President @GitanasNauseda & MPs - on 🇺🇦 Statehood Day - is an honour. More than that, it is a responsibility.

🇪🇺 marks this day with you. In solidarity. In friendship. In a bond as Europeans.

Appalled by the execution of pro-democracy activists, including a former lawmaker, by Myanmar’s Junta.

I condemn this outrageous violation of human rights in the strongest possible terms.

Capital punishment is inhumane and should be abolished worldwide.

Today marks 10 years from the death of Sakharov Prize laureate Oswaldo Payá. A tireless crusader for freedom and democracy in #Cuba.

Payá dedicated his life to the belief that one day Cubans would be free. May his powerful example inspire and never be forgotten.

As Russia’s illegal invasion is soon in its sixth month, we cannot allow war fatigue to set in.

Aid to 🇺🇦 will not stop. We will continue isolating Russia & weaken its finances.

Today’s ‘maintenance & alignment’ package strengthens current sanctions & makes them more effective.

Appalled by Iranian authorities decision to detain Jafar Panahi. 

Enforcement of jail-term suspended sentence since 2010 is shocking.

I urge authorities to release Sakharov Prize laureate #Panahi immediately.

He should be free to continue his fight for human rights.

Nelson Mandela was a true hero.

The first laureate of @europarl_en Sakharov Prize stood up for freedom. He fought against racism, injustice & discrimination. For him, giving up was not an option.

Values which continue to inspire us today.

Today’s historic vote in @SobranieRSM is a great and important step forward.

It will lead to the opening of accession talks between #NorthMacedonia and EU Member States. And to a faster EU future for 🇲🇰.

🇲🇰 belongs in the 🇪🇺.
#WesternBalkans belong in the EU.

War in 🇺🇦 forced 4.3million children to leave their home. Across the world, 200 million children live in war zones.

No child should be put in this situation.

My message at the 2nd @gchumanrights Conference: @europarl_en will continue fighting for children's rights, against war.

We will continue to push back against Russian disinformation, false & cynical propaganda.

Today's #Eurobarometer highlights citizens' concerns of being exposed to fake news.

Strong democracies thrive on media freedom & quality journalism.

Now is not the time to backtrack on our climate goals.

We must deliver on energy & green transitions.

@europarl_en is ambitious but realistic.
No more Russian energy.
No more energy islands.

Immediate & short-term measures should not become the new normal in the medium-term.

Ukraine can count on our support to rebuild itself.

The European Investment Bank will play a crucial role in financing 🇺🇦 reconstruction.

With @EIB President @wernerhoyer, spoke on importance of investment & actions needed.

A strong 🇺🇦 means a strong 🇪🇺.
