@MargSchinas Cher Margaritis, je me souviens avec nostalgie de nos premiers échanges professionnels au début des années 2000 au sein du fameux Groupe des Affaires Parlementaires que tu présidais avec talent.
Que de chemin parcouru depuis, au service de 🇪🇺!
Bonne chance pour la suite.
Today marks the end of my tenure as chief spokesman of @EU_Commission.
Thank you President @vonderleyen for the trust during these five incredible & eventful years.
And 🙏🏻 wonderful colleagues of the Spokesman Service.
Now, welcome to new chief spokes @Pinhopau ! Good luck!
Today is a good day for Europe.
I am thankful for the confidence expressed to the new College through the @Europarl_EN vote.
Now I will gather my team as of Monday. And we will get to work ↓ https://t.co/AusItJ7ge5
The announced cease-fire between Israel and Hezbollah is very encouraging news.
First and foremost for the Lebanese & Israeli people affected by the fighting.
Lebanon will have an opportunity to increase internal security and stability thanks to Hezbollah’s reduced influence.
Europe has to take more responsibility.
For our security and our defence. And for supporting Ukraine.
These are issues of mutual interest with the US. We will build on it.
At the same time, we have a compass – and our future is in our hands ⭣ https://t.co/yS2LqSbx45
I warmly congratulate Donald J. Trump.
The EU and the US are more than just allies.
We are bound by a true partnership between our people, uniting 800 million citizens.
So let's work together on a strong transatlantic agenda that keeps delivering for them.
Faced with a cascade of crises, we must do more than react.
We need to change our mindset.
Preparedness must underpin all our actions.
And address the full spectrum of threats and risks.
This is why I welcome the @niinisto report ↓

Leaders of the G7 are united in expressing their deep concern over the deteriorating situation in the Middle East.
We condemn in the strongest terms Iran’s direct military attack against Israel, which constitutes a serious threat to regional stability.
