Nation states have become lilliputians vs giants like China or Meta… We can only tie them down if we hang together.
From a European Army to Climate & Comptitiveness funding, we offer solutions to defend the “European Interest”

Von der Leyen last week said it would be completely unacceptable if Netanyahu invaded Rafah & action would be taken...
If she wants to credibly lead Europe, she needs to deliver. Now is the time to show Europe is a geopolitical actor!

From Israel to Italy, media freedom is under threat as never before…
Democracy dies wirh it !

Always remember: Ukraine did NOTHING to deserve this… except not fit into Putin’s imaginary view of a larger Russia.
If he wins, there will be a lot more villages looking like this… and not just in Ukraine !

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 century ago, the political centre all too willingly gave power to fascism….
Have we learnt anything?!
Where’s Meloni’s condemnation?

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 !

If it’s not by commission, Putin is responsible by omission !

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

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, 🇸🇰

US approval of Ukraine aid mustn't lead to complacency.
The opposite, it should galvanise Europeans to immediately do our part of the job now...delivering Patriots and promised ammunition!

America is back where it should be: Supporting Freedom.
But I will for my life never forget that in the Republican group - the party of Reagan - a majority of 112 traitors voted against !

RT by @GuyVerhofstadt: The strength of the European project lies in unity, solidarity, and the determined defence of the fundamental values that underpin our Union.
