The arrest and detention of @WSJ journalist Evan #Gershkovic is totally unacceptable.
This is nothing but the intimidation of journalists and an attempt to silence reporting in Russia.
Journalists must be free to do their job, not be used as chips in political games.

Congratulations to my friend @PetteriOrpo for winning the elections in Finland!

A year ago, I travelled to Kyiv to take the message of Europe directly to @ZelenskyyUa and the brave people of Ukraine.
I promised him the @europarl_en and the European Union would stand with his people for as long as it takes. We have never left their side.

Світ ніколи не зможе забути картини звірства і жахів, які були знайдені у звільненій рік тому Бучі.
Масові поховання, страти без суду і слідства, зруйновані будинки і життя.
Винні у цих злочинах проти людяності будуть притягнуті до відповідальності.
#СлаваУкраїні 🇪🇺🇺🇦

The world can never forget the images of the atrocities and horrors found in a liberated Bucha a year ago.
Mass graves, summary executions, homes and lives destroyed.
Those responsible for these crimes against humanity will be brought to justice.

Gone are the days when people are paid less just because of who they are.
Today we made a quantum leap towards equality - especially for women - binding the equal pay for equal work principle.
An inclusive step to the benefit of all: employees, employers and our societies.

Peace and reconciliation.
This is what the Good Friday Agreement 25 years ago was all about.

Happy to welcome @Drzavnizbor Speaker Urška Klakočar Zupančič to @Europarl_SL.

Approved!
With today's vote, @europarl_en has delivered on all files of the Migration and Asylum Pact.
We now have a strong mandate to start negotiations with @EUCouncil and to achieve results by next year.
No more time should be lost. We must deliver.
It is possible.

Tonight, @europarl_en joined @earthhour & switched off its lights.
To send a strong message that we can make a difference. We can save our planet. We are the last generation that can do something about it.
To ensure that we make all other hours count.

“Let us climb, now, the road to hope.”
The words etched on the base of the Boston Marathon bombing memorial keep guiding us.
Paying tribute to 8-year old Martin, 23-year old Lingzi & 29-year old Krystle, killed in the terror attack here 10 years ago.
We remember #BostonStrong

Today's global challenges require a renewed transatlantic alliance.
To counter the narrative of identity politics.
To fight back against misinformation.
To repel distrust.
Our duty is to achieve positive change and make people’s lives a little bit easier and safer.
