Listening to German Econ & Climate minister Robert Habeck talking about the climate crisis & ecological existentialism is inspiring.
We accept the conditions of our world and try to improve within them.
A Sisyphean task to save not the climate, but us living within it.

I took a photo of this painting in Teheran. I find it calm, powerful and hopeful. I sadly forgot the artist’s name. But I hope they are safe.

I wish the bloody and violent Iranian theocracy to fall.
For the female water color artist I met in Teheran.
For the female guide who showed me around in Persepolis.
For the young girls who invited me to their family Iftar in Isfahan.
Women, Life, Freedom.

@TristanBoursico I would be very happy to stay in Strasbourg 100% of the time - it’s beautiful!
But Commission, Council & my team sit in Brussels. So unless you convince them all to move tomorrow, we need to abolish the seat in Strasbourg asap.
Especially in an energy crisis!

@TristanBoursico People uselessly traveling for 100mn every year is feeding distrust and sarcasm amongst citizens.
Most people don’t know the European Parliament sits in Strasbourg as well. And when they know, they don’t care or find it idiotic.
No power is shared because of our traveling 🤷♂️

By bringing back the dilemma of uncertain succession, Xi Jinping severely weakened China for the next hundreds of years.

Always makes me happy to see that the recovery fund I negotiated keeps countries in line.
It really is a good idea to only hand out payments every 6 months based on achievement of milestones & targets - that the countries proposed themselves!

Wanted to highlight this point again.
One of the most effective ways to help Ukraine would be to insure private investment!
🇺🇦 is a huge market, likely with strong growth trajectory after war & towards accession to EU. War insurances could make it very attractive to invest!

Private investments could help. ~90% of surveyed investors would consider w guarantees, but stay awa…

RT @nicolange_: Zum tausendsten Mal, für alle, die in der letzten Bank nicht aufgepasst haben: Es gab kein "Abkommen", dass die NATO keine Osterweiterung machen würde. Ob Staaten der NATO beitreten, entscheiden die Menschen dort sowieso selbst. Die NATO bedroht Russland übrigens gar nicht.
