Europe stands united against threats on its borders.
Our full solidarity goes to all people in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and our Eastern flank, facing danger from hostile drone activity linked to Russia and Belarus.
In moments like these, Europe must continue to invest in security for stability, freedom, and peace.
The European Parliament has long called for the regime in Iran to dismantle its State instruments of oppression, end its support for proxies of terror, abandon its nuclear ambitions and finally allow its people to be free to choose their own destiny.
The events unfolding in Iran must not lead to a spiral of escalation that could threaten the Middle East, Europe and beyond. The Iranian regime's attacks this morning on GCC countries are inexcusable and unjustifiable.
The regime in Iran must refrain from any further escalation in any targeting of the Gulf States, Israel or European or United States nationals.
We are in close contact with partners in the region to try to find ways forward that protects innocent lives, international law and regional stability.
The European Union supports Denmark and the people of Greenland. We do so united in resolve.
The measures against NATO allies announced today will not help in ensuring security in the Arctic. They risk the opposite, emboldening our joint enemies and those who wish to destroy our common values and way of life.
Greenland and Denmark have both made clear: Greenland is not for sale and its sovereignty and territorial integrity needs to be respected. No threat of tariffs can or will change that fact.
All set up and ready to welcome media from all over the world 🌍 in Parliament’s premises ahead of the #EUelections2024 night 🇪🇺. Under the sunny weather journalists are already settling down to cover the election night tomorrow.
Tonight's assault on the Danish Prime Minister is appalling.
Violence has no place in politics.
Keep strong, Mette!
@Statsmin 🇪🇺🇩🇰
Chokerende angreb på den danske Statsminister.
Vold har ingen plads i politik.
Min fulde støtte til dig, Mette!
Om en time mødes @EP_President Roberta Metsola med statsminister Mette Frederiksen i @sortediamant for at drøfte, hvor EU er på vej hen frem mod det kommende EP-valg i 2024. @lykkefriis modererer, og vi livestreamer debatten på Facebook fra kl. 15: https://t.co/rn9FkAnuYn #eudk
I am in politics to fight corruption.
To stand up for Europe.
We will meet this test head on.
There will be no impunity.
There will be no sweeping under the carpet.
There will be no business as usual.
@Europarl_EN stands against enemies of democracy wherever they come from.
Welcome home @ZelenskaUA.
You represent the courage, strength & defiance of the men & women fighting to protect your country & our shared values. Against all odds.
Thank you for showing the world that might is not right.
You inspire us all.
#SlavaUkraini 🇪🇺🇺🇦
Så er der #StateOfTheUnion debat direkte fra Europa-Parlamentet i Strasbourg nu kl 9. Sjældent har så meget været på spil for vores kontinent. #soteu@Europarl_DK
Today, people across Europe expect concrete & decisive actions on their concerns.
On increasing prices, on the rising costs of gas and electricity, on security, on climate.
Our support for Ukraine will remain unwavering.

Few have shaped global history like Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Her unbreakable commitment to duty and service was an example to all.
The world mourns with her people in the United Kingdom and beyond.
She was truly Queen Elizabeth the Great.
May she rest in peace.

There is nothing that motivates me more than to speak with the next generation of Europeans.
This morning, my message to young people at the @Campus_Polska was to lead.
By being active, by making your voice heard.
Together we can forge a better future. For Europe & the world.
I’m relieved that @SalmanRushdie is progressing with his recovery.
The world needs this fearless fighter for freedom of speech.
Voices like his make our democracies vibrant.
The cowardly, hateful attack on his life reminds us that we must protect those who defend our values.
Appalled by Iranian authorities decision to detain Jafar Panahi.
Enforcement of jail-term suspended sentence since 2010 is shocking.
I urge authorities to release Sakharov Prize laureate #Panahi immediately.
He should be free to continue his fight for human rights.
