Pro-European protests in Georgia, as Moldova went to the polls….
The more Putin tries to impose his power on the whole region, the more the people rise up against the nightmare !

Two historic wrongs don’t make a right…
The international community and international law must return to force in the Middle East… or will be set back for generations !

European politicians won't beat the far - right by adopting their ineffective policies. Extremists will always demand more populism.
von der Leyen drags 🇪🇺 into Meloni's gutter.

JD Vance was right:
Trump is America’s Hitler… if they let him let his way !

The Tunisia deal is immoral, unworkable, untenable…
There are no shortcuts for a real EU migration and asylum policy !

17,000 children dead… and the international community stands by and watches impotently
In Gaza we are unlearning a century of lessons about the vicious cycle of war.
We need a ceasefire and a two-state solution now… or will all suffer the consequences for a century to come

Megalomaniac money men are killing US politics…

40% of public spending in Russia will go to defense...
If the West would take its own sanctions seriously, the Russian economy would tank in no time !

No peace and stability in the Middle East without real political change…
In Iran, the end of the Mullah regime… In Israel, the acceptance of a two state solution incl. an end to new settlements on West Bank.
Expansionist politics means endless war.

Orbánism made simple: Give in to dictators, it’s no use fighting for freedom.
These people are leading a proud country out of the European Union… into Putin’s arms !

The best way for the UK to avoid "hard times" is to undo unnecessary Tory Brexit choices & make deals with Europe 🇪🇺 that grow all of our economies!

That's it:
'It’s so difficult for a person living in a normal democratic country to grasp what political repression is.'
We still don’t get Putin, his repression, war, hatred for freedom… and that makes him incredibly dangerous !

The worst thing about populists is: They know they're destroying their party's values… they know Trump is destroying the Republic… but they do it anyway, because it serves their own career !

Europe remains fragmented on defense, both in hardware and in thinking…
We are united in adversity… time to unite against it !

Some European capitals still think it’s revolutionary when their armies vaguely coordinate efforts...
Meanwhile, China and Brazil hold military exercises together.
We need an EU army and nothing less !

Germany will push back illegal migrants… Hungary will send them to Brussels…
High time to deploy real European Guards to manage our external borders instead of playing the populist card, destroying our internal market and free movement….
