"Prime Minister #Draghi came to #Strasbourg to talk about the future, but the #UkraineWar is highlighting how weak the #EU is in defense, energy & industrial production. This was caused by poor political decisions where some self-criticism is needed." 🗣️ Co-Chair @RaffaeleFitto

How credible is the Conference on the Future of Europe's slogan, "Make your voice heard", if the organisers only listen to those whose views are aligned with their own?
The #CoFoE turned out to simply be a way to legitimise a pre-determined outcome: More powers to Brussels.
"The EU must increase its support of journalists in those regions more vulnerable to the #Kremlin’s malign influence."
📣 ECR MEP Dace Melbārde during the #EPlenary debate on threats to the safety of journalists on #WorldPressFreedomDay.
The persecution of groups and individuals based on their faith is a scourge requiring our constant attention.
Everyone must have the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion.
It's one of the most fundamental #HumanRights.

"With transnational voting lists, you want to take sovereignty away from nation states in a way that goes against the Treaties."
📣 ECR MEP @djambazki in the #EPlenary debate on European electoral law. #EUelections
❌ @europarl_en is debating yet another attempt to replace the current European Electoral Act with a system of transnational voting lists.
It's a step too far, undermining the unique electoral dynamics of each Member State.
The EU is 27 cultures; 27 economies; 27 nation states.
The #CoFoE conclusions are biased & have been manipulated by self-proclaimed "pro-European" political families in the @europarl_en.
We will call for an independent opinion polling exercise to be conducted in each EU Member State to provide objective evidence of Europeans' views.
We recognise the need to reform the #EU based on Eurorealism, openness, accountability & democracy. We respect the sovereignty of nations & concentrate on economic recovery, growth and competitiveness.
What about you? Do you agree?
“I share the words of @jensstoltenberg: It’s vital to continue supporting action in favor of #Ukraine.

Be it Putin, Stalin or a tsar, #Russia repeats its crimes. Moscow's imperialism must end forever.
🇺🇦 Ukrainians are not only defending their homeland, #Ukraine, they're defending the whole of Europe and European civilisation.
Every action made by #Russia, must be swiftly met with a reaction from the democratic West.
🇺🇦 We must continue to #StandWithUkraine.
Poland & Bulgaria rejected Russian gas blackmail.
To agree to #Putin's forced payment for hydrocarbons in rubles means capitulation.
The #EU, #Berlin & other capitals must stand against this. It’s a test of real solidarity.
