Honoured to attend the commemorations of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution in Budapest. 70 years ago, Hungarians rose up against oppression. They fought for freedom, democracy and justice. The very values at the heart of Europe today. Their courage lives on.

The martyrs of 1956 gave their lives for freedom. Their memory reminds us that the triumph of democracy is not inevitable. Every generation must fight to renew our freedoms and reenergise our democracy ↓ xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1yxBePgvX…

We strongly condemn the Russian drone attacks on merchant ships off Bulgaria’s coast. This is unacceptable, threatening Black Sea security & putting lives at risk. We stand firmly with Bulgaria, thank the rescuers, and call for concrete action to protect people, ships and waters.

Today marks three years since the terrorist attacks of 7 October in Israel. We honour the victims and stand with the families who still carry the heavy weight of grief. We remember the young lives cut short at a music festival. And the long ordeal of the hostages. The EU stands with all those whose lives were forever changed by that day. The unspeakable savagery and terror of 7 October must never happen again. The EU remains ready to help turn today’s fragile ceasefire into a durable peace, based on a two-state solution. And remains equally convinced that nothing justifies terror.

Hoy he visitado Ceuta junto a los presidentes @NunezFeijoo y @ManfredWeber, y hemos visto con nuestros propios ojos el fracaso absoluto de Sánchez dos meses después de la invasión. Playas ocupadas. 13.000 irregulares deambulando sin control. Un pueblo que siente miedo y abandono de quienes deben defenderlo. Ceuta es una ciudad herida, pero valiente, y no la vamos a dejar sola. Donde no esté Sánchez, allí estará Europa.

Dear @NunezFeijoo you are not only leading the way—your strength, determination and true commitment to the people of Ceuta are an example of leadership when it matters most. You are right, Ceuta needs: Normalidad. Verdad. Futuro. Europe stands with Ceuta. The @EPPGroup is you.

El Parlamento Europeo ha dicho claro que Ceuta no se vende. Se defiende. Aprobamos una Resolución que exige a Sánchez aplicar inmediatamente el Pacto Europeo de Migración y Asilo, garantizar la seguridad y acelerar el retorno de adultos y menores. Con un mensaje nítido a Marruecos: la soberanía y la integridad territorial de España no se negocian. Se respetan. Incondicionalmente. Rabat debe asumir su responsabilidad y readmitir a todos los irregulares. Europa logra en 3 días lo que Sánchez no ha hecho en 50: escucha, ayuda y soluciones. Ceuta no está sola. Toda Europa está con ella.

The answer to today’s shocks is a way of doing politics: not lecturing, but working with people; not waiting, acting! We must tackle climate change with people, not against them: We stopped the ban on combustion engine as promised and we will fight for a reasonable ETS reform.

The best answer to today’s threats is unity and a European pillar of defence. Mitterrand and Kohl made European unity irreversible through the euro. We need the same approach for defence with joint command structures, a single market for armaments, European drones and satellites.

Bringing back GROWTH in Europe is bringing back HOPE. Prosperity, jobs, social belonging—they must go hand in hand or none will hold. There is huge growth potential in our Union: Capital Markets Union, a stronger Single Market, a European AI fund and the new Competitiveness Fund.

We need 🇪🇺 friends. Prime Minister @MarkJCarney, Canada is one of them. Since CETA was applied, EU-Canada trade has grown by 80%, with 700,000 European jobs depending on 🇨🇦 exports. Trade is more than markets. It builds a world where Europe is not alone, based on mutual respect.

Three shocks are changing our societies: AI, geopolitics, and the fear of losing jobs or rising living costs. Our European answer must be threefold, with what has always made us strong: listen, act together, and bring growth to Europe. #SOTEU

Great to be in Copenhagen with our EPP family 🇩🇰🇪🇺 We met as well with members of the Danish Liberal Alliance, who is now applying to join our political family. We share the values that bring our family together: freedom, responsibility, security and a strong social market economy in a competitive Europe. Shared values. A shared ambition for Europe. Looking forward to the next steps!

35 years of independence. Today, the courage of the Ukrainian people inspires the whole world. Unbreakable resilience. Unshakeable spirit. A fight for our European way of life. Today, and every day, Europe stands with Ukraine. 🇪🇺🇺🇦 #StandWithUkraine
35 years of our independence. Thirty-five years since the Act of Declaration of Independence of Ukraine was adopted. Ukrainians preserved the independence of their country. And we will certainly defend Ukraine’s independence. There is no doubt about that. Ukraine will always be independent. Ukrainians will not be paving stones under the feet of tsars and rulers. Ukrainians will not be bargaining chips in disputes between capitals. Ukrainians will not submit to what they do not believe in, and they certainly will not abandon their dream – the dream of living, the dream of living independently. On the occasion of our greatest national holiday, we are presenting Ukrainian state awards to those people without whom Ukraine would not exist, and to those whose destinies largely determine what kind of country Ukraine will be. Our warriors, our civilians – those who have done and continue to do everything so that Ukraine exists in this world, so that it is truly free, and so that the name of Ukraine is spoken with pride.
