🇻🇪 With Maduro now captured by US special forces, there is a decisive window for an orderly transition that restores democracy and the rule of law, allowing Venezuelans themselves to freely choose their future.
The ECR Group recalls that the 2024 election, in which Edmundo González Urrutia @EdmundoGU emerged as president‑elect, was stolen by Maduro’s narco‑communist regime, even though the vote clearly showed the Venezuelan people’s will for democratic change and constitutional government.

The @Europarl_EN wants to see greater use of geothermal energy.
👏 Congratulations to ECR MEP @ZdzKrasnodebski MEP, whose own-initiative report on geothermal energy was voted through @EP_Industry today by a huge majority today.

For 10 months, we have not had contact with Mikola Statkevich, former candidate for the president of Belarus and a well-known figure of the democratic opposition. Ales Bialiatski, laureate of the Nobel Peace Prize-2022, sentenced to 10 years in prison, was recently placed into solitary confinement in prison. Andrzej Poczobut, a journalist and activist of the Polish minority in Belarus, was unjustly sentenced to 8 years in a maximum-security penal colony this year.
The situation of political prisoners in Belarus, illegally imprisoned by the Lukashenko regime, is appalling and is constantly deteriorating.
Together with members of the European Parliament, above political divisions, we stand with political prisoners in Belarus and their families. #StandWithBelarus ⬜️🟥⬜️

We are shocked and saddened by the terrorist attack in Paris last night. It is yet another reminder to all European governments that radical #Islamism must be seriously addressed.
Our thoughts are with the families of the victims.

Historic nuclear pledge at #COP28 in Dubai: sixteen countries aim to triple global #NuclearEnergy by 2050.
Additionally, both the @IPCC_CH and the @IEA also assert that this is necessary to achieve the goals by 2050."
In the Energy Committee this week, I asked the Commissioner for Energy @KadriSimson whether the @EU_Commission would support this pledge.
I asked European Commissioner for Energy @KadriSimson in Brussels last week whether the @EU_Commission would join this pledge to triple nuclear energy.
The answer was 'NO', the EC will only focus on its dogmas: renewable energy and energy efficiency.
A missed opportunity. With nuclear energy we can: decarbonize, create energy security, energy reliability, energy affordability, preserve nature and have clean air.
It’s good for the people, good for the EU economy and for Europe to be strategically independent.

Today marks the 34th anniversary of the #VelvetRevolution; the end of over four decades of Communist rule in Czechoslovakia.
The fall of Soviet rule is a powerful reminder of the strength found in the enduring pursuit of liberty.

We’re horrified by the slaughter that took place in #Brussels tonight.
Our thoughts are with the victims and their families and our full support goes to Brussels’ security forces.
#IS and its murderous ideology remain undefeated. We must stand united against terrorism and protect our societies from Islamism.
EKR-Berichterstatter Alexandr Vondra (#ODS, Tschechien) hat darauf geachtet, dass die zukünftigen #Euro7 Abgas- und Emissionsnormen nicht unrealistisch werden und dadurch Autopreise für den Otto-Normalverbraucher noch weiter steigen.
🚨🗳️ The @EP_Environment Committee has just voted to adopt the #Euro7 regulation.
👏 Congratulations to ECR MEP @AlexandrVondra, who as rapporteur was able to secure a balanced outcome, combining sound environmental standards and legal certainty for European businesses!
Die EKR-Fraktion verurteilt die beispiellosen Terrorangriffe auf #Israel aus dem Gazastreifen auf das Schärfste. Unsere Gedanken sind bei der israelischen Nation, den Opfern, ihren Familien und denjenigen, die sich gegen die Angriffe der #Hamas zur Wehr setzen.
We strongly condemn the unprecedented terror attacks on #Israel coming out of Gaza, including the execution-style killings and kidnappings of Israeli civilians and soldiers.
Our thoughts are with the entire Israeli nation, the victims, their families and those defending themselves against the attacks. We stand in full solidarity with them.
The violence perpetrated by #Hamas shows that one cannot negotiate with terrorists. May terrorism never prevail.
Das Fußballteam der EKR-Fraktion mit 3 Siegen am ersten Spieltag. Gratulation 👍
Politics is like a sport! Competition, sometimes bad fouls too! In order to win you need a huge effort and strong team behind you. In our @ecrgroup we have exactly that! 3 matches won today in the first ever #EP football tournament. 🙌🏼 We are in the finals 👍🏼👏🏼 #TeamSpirit
Die EKR-Fraktion bringt in der kommenden Woche 100 junge konservative Europäerinnen und Europäer in Brüssel zusammen, um über eine Reform der EU zu diskutieren. #ECRYouthSummit – @EURACTIV euractiv.com/section/politic…

"The #Euro7 emissions standards – in their current form – are untenable for European industry.
"The needs of businesses and society and the competitiveness of our economies must not be neglected in the name of the #GreenDeal."
