🇪🇺We welcomed @KajsaOllongren, new Secretary-General of the @eu_eeas, at @EP_ForeignAff.
Both of our institutions share a commitment: making the #EU a truly global actor.
But for that, we need a strong EEAS, which must remain an independent institution.

Feijóo dice que la huelga es un “disparate”. Ayuso habla de “basura sindical”. Y ahora esto.
Este país y sus trabajadores se os quedan grandes.
El 29N frenaremos esto. Vais a estar cuatro años más comiendo oposición.
Deeply troubling that 🇹🇷 authorities detained Yonca Verdioğlu, @BoellStiftung representative, on espionage. Even more alarming if they did so to intimidate her husband, opposition MP @ahmetsahmets. Desperation to cling to power is driving increasingly erratic, extreme decisions.
Agenda de la semana en @Europarl_EN:
🇪🇺 Pleno en Bruselas con debate sobre el Programa de Trabajo de la @EU_Commission 2027
🇨🇳 Reunión con la Ministra Consejera de la Embajada de China ante la UE
🌹Termino la semana viajando a Mérida en el inicio de la campaña electoral #29N
When I text about #Turkiye, some accounts mention Catalonia as a double standard on democracy and liberties. Don’t lecture me on this, please. I was Deputy Minister for federal issues in the first Govt of Pedro Sanchez, doing this

Türkiye 🇹🇷 continues to use counter-terrorism legislation as a repressive weapon persecuting anyone who dares to criticise.
With the new terror-free process, it's time for deep change. Otherwise, the visa liberalisation 🇪🇺 will remain out of reach.

In @EP_Legal, I have raised the case of @ODFoundation, silenced after a #SLAPP in a 🇧🇪 commercial court that applied commercial rules to a human rights NGO.
The anti-SLAPP Directive is essential, but so is judicial training - otherwise we risk failure.

This paragraph captures the key message of the latest @EU_Commission report on #Türkiye. Despite its usual aseptic tone, it describes relentless democratic backsliding, reaching a record low. After >20 years of accession negotiations, the gap with 🇪🇺 values has only grown wider.
🇹🇷 Semana de misión del @Europarl_EN@EU_CoR y @COECongress en Turquía para dar seguimiento del caso contra el alcalde de #Estambul
🇪🇺 Reunión de @EP_ForeignAff para presentar el Paquete de Ampliación 2026
🗣️ Intervención en el programa Open Progressive University
Today I met in Ankara (jointly with @DrenjaninJelena, @EU_CoR & Bryony Rudkin, @COECongress) several NGOs working on #LGBTIQ rights. Very concerned about recent developments, particularly prison conditions. This unlawful harassment should stop & all those arrested be released!

Very happy to see @sdedetas at home. Now, we hope to see her again exercising the democratic mandate received from her citizens of #Uskudar.

A big big thank you, Ms Manasyan @OmbudsArmenia for doing the only truly “European” statement regarding the shameful brawl in the #ArmenianParliament and the equally shameful public reactions. https://t.co/VaFrkQC7MF Regretfully, this can occur elsewhere, the test are reactions.
‼️Parliament must be a forum for democratic debate, not a “battlefield”. I strongly condemn the incident involving MPs and demand an end to violent conduct and rhetoric that justifies violence. The incident must be duly investigated in accordance with the law.
Three-day mission to New Delhi with @EP_ForeignAff concludes
It has been a valuable opportunity to meet with officials and representatives from civil society and the business sector to gain a first-hand understanding of 🇮🇳 landscape
India remains a key strategic partner for 🇪🇺
On this special day, I join the Turkish people in celebrating the 103 anniversary of the Republic of Türkiye, a country I hold close to my heart.
My wish, today as always, is to see 🇹🇷 fulfil its democratic aspirations and move closer to the 🇪🇺.
Cumhuriyet Bayramı kutlu olsun!!
¡Buena noticia para Extremadura! 🟢⚪⚫
