Putin wanted less EU and less NATO. What he gets is more EU, more NATO and a stronger EU-NATO cooperation.
Almost one year after the start of Russia's unjustified war against Ukraine, we cannot underestimate the significance and the value of a strong EU-NATO partnership.

Strong speech of 🇧🇪 PM @alexanderdecroo at our @RenewEurope Seminar on the EU's capacity to act.
🗣“Strategic autonomy” is not about doing everything ourselves. Our openness to the world is key for our prosperity. It is about looking at our openness in a less naïve way.

Vetoes make it impossible for the EU to react quickly and strongly in today’s world.
For us @RenewEurope, our call in #EPlenary today is clear: unanimity must be abolished!
RT @RenewEurope: The abuse of national vetoes in 🇪🇺 must end!
Fundamental issues have been, are, and will continue to be blocked in the Council because of the unanimity rule. This prevents us from moving forward. We need to start a Convention and update the rulebook!

The new conditionality mechanism will be used for the first time to freeze €6.35 billion in funds over the dismantling of the #RuleOfLaw in 🇭🇺

Erg geschokt door corruptieschandaal in het Europees Parlement. Dit tast de credibiliteit van het EP aan. Los van het lopend onderzoek moeten we sterk reageren, zeker vandaag in de plenaire vergadering. Strengere regels en controles zijn noodzakelijk.
