Hungarian police said they will not prevent anyone from taking part in next month’s Budapest Pride parade, signaling a shift in LGBTQ+ policy in the country since PM Péter Magyar took office earlier this month.

The @EU_Commission is PROUD🌈

Pride week is a celebration of love, identity, courage and community.

And every day of the year, we work hard to make Europe a space where everyone can live freely, openly, authentically.

De Nederlandse regering was bij de dodenherdenking…

[Thijs Reuten 🇪🇺🌹 @thijsreuten]

Oprechte vraag: Waar is Nederland? Wie is er namens Nederland bij de #EPC in Yerevan? Nederland was in ieder geval niet op regeringsniveau vertegenwoordigd bij de Oekraïne coördinatie meeting. #dtv

.@MarkJCarney’s @liberal_party welcomed LI delegation led by @KH_Paque to Montréal, bringing together 4,500 delegates to advance trade, transatlantic cooperation, and support for Ukraine.

Australia is one of the world’s most important producers of critical raw material.

In contrast, Europe is one of the world’s major users.

So today, we agreed on four major projects, covering production of rare earths, lithium, and tungsten.

And we also agreed to launch negotiations on Australia’s accession to Horizon, Europe’s flagship innovation programme!

Oekraïne vecht elke dag tegen de agressie van Poetin. Dat doen zij voor hun vrijheid én voor onze veiligheid in Europa. Daarom ben ik in samen met @ministerBZ in Kyiv en spreken we met president Zelensky. Ik verzekerde hem: dit kabinet blijft achter Oekraïne staan. 🇳🇱🇺🇦

[Bart De Wever @Bart_DeWever]

Europe must stop trying to do everything, everywhere, all at once.

There is a clear trinity of top priorities: innovation, productivity and competitiveness. That is where our focus must be. If not, the decarbonisation of Europe will become synonymous with its deindustrialisation, poverty and irrelevance.

If we want Europe to matter in the world, our industry must matter first. It is up to us!

BREAKING: 🇪🇺 ECB Chief Christine Lagarde says the E.U. urgently needs an alternative to Mastercard.

[Liberal International @liberalinternat]

A strong moment for liberal politics in the Netherlands!

The coalition agreement announced today brings two full LI member parties, @D66 & @VVD, into government, advancing liberal priorities in a rapidly changing world.

We wish them success in this important responsibility.

[Carl Bildt @carlbildt]

The political fallout from the dramas of Davos🇨🇭 will be substantial. ⁦@derspiegel⁩ 🇩🇪 shows a 🇪🇺 ready to resist under the heading - Donald, It’s Enough!

[Pauw & De Wit @pauwendewit]

Partijleider Jesse Klaver riep Rutte gisteren nog via een tweet op te stoppen met het geslijm richting Trump. Ook Tweede Kamerlid Kati Piri (GroenLinks-PvdA) zei gisteren: ik ben klaar met daddy-diplomatie. Kati Piri: "Dát is denk ik veel effectiever geweest, dan dat geslijm van Mark Rutte".

[Dilan Yesilgöz - Zegerius @DilanYesilgoz]

Vanuit zijn leiderschap van de NAVO laat Mark Rutte zien hoe diplomatie echt verschil kan maken. Dat is belangrijk voor internationale stabiliteit en daarmee direct in het belang van Europa en Nederland. 🤝

The EU–Mercosur agreement is a major boost for free trade, helps diversify our economic ties and reduces dangerous dependencies.

In an shock-prone world, it sends a clear signal of Europe’s commitment to strong, reliable partnerships, based on shared values and principles.

This agreement is about more than trade volumes. It is a geostrategic choice for Europe and marks the beginning of a new era in EU–Latin America cooperation.

[Lennart Salemink @DigitalLennart]

Met het vetorecht in de 🇪🇺 Europe unie was mercosur er nooit gekomen.

Daarom moeten we snel af van het vetorecht in het buitenlandbeleid.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Today’s Council decision to support the EU-Mercosur deal is historic.

Europe is sending a strong signal.

We are serious about creating growth, jobs and securing the interests of Europeans consumers and businesses.

With Mercosur, we are creating a shared market of 700 million people.

And so many new opportunities.

Toen ik 3 jr terug gekozen als bestuurslid @liberalinternat had ik niet verwacht dat we dit ooit zouden schrijven.

Maar het is nodig.

🇺🇸 onder Trump strijdt tegen de int rechtsorde die het zelf gebouwd heeft.

De vrije wereld moet juist samen optrekken tegen autocraten.

[Liberal International @liberalinternat]

The Bureau of Liberal International condemns threats from the U.S. against Denmark & Greenland.

Only Greenland’s people can decide their future.

Any form of aggression would violate international law & NATO solidarity.

🇪🇺 loopt economisch inmiddels ver achter bij de 🇺🇸. Dat kunnen we zelf oplossen door handel barrières weg te nemen.

Dat levert hogere inkomens op en meer ruimte voor defensie uitgaven
