As Georgians cry for help, this EU can't even issue a statement to support them.
What led us to this? Weak leadership, populism & stagnant institutions.
Citizen led reform is needed more than ever to deliver a stronger European Union.

Don’t ever forget it:
Europe = human rights !
That’s why the radical right and left hate it so much… and why we love it !

As the EU flag is banned from Eurovision, people risk being beaten to demand a European path for Georgia.
Freedom, democracy can never be taken for granted!

Putin invades, Netanyahu escalates, Biden acts, Europe watches and waits…
A sad and anxious Europe Day this year.
We can do so much better !

European Interest book launch with

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 !

Inhuman. Progressives in next

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?

[2024-05-01 15:46 UTC]

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 !

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 !
