EFA Family continues to stand with Europe’s islands.
A strong strategy for islands is essential. A real one that ensures people to have the choice to build their future. From EFA's Islands Forum we continue working to ensure the support and recognition they need 🇪🇺
Échanges fructueux ce jour à Bruxelles avec @RaffaeleFitto VP exécutif de la Commission européenne autour de la stratégie des îles et sur le « Droit de rester ». Deux sujets majeurs pour la Corse : l’Europe n’a de sens que si les jeunes ont le choix de circuler, travailler, se loger et vivre heureux chez eux !
💚 This Sunday 17M, Andalusians have the opportunity to vote for more self-government and a greater voice for Andalucía.
@andalucistasAND, with our member party @AndaluciaxSi, represent the choice for everyone who believes in identity, self-determination and social justice.
💚 Hartos de que nos miren por encima del hombro. Hartas de que las decisiones se tomen fuera de aquí.
Nuestro jefe eres tú. Nuestra única obediencia, Andalucía.
🗳️ El 17M, vota #Andalucistas. Útiles para tu tierra, útiles para ti.

👏 Congratulations to @RhunapIorwerth on becoming First Minister of Wales.
A strong voice for Wales, for democracy and for a fairer Europe. We look forward to continuing our shared work for self-determination and European cooperation.
Llongyfarchiadau, @Plaid_Cymru! 🇪🇺🏴
This weekend, we hosted the event “Everyday Sovereignty” gathering together with representatives from @Partitu_FemuAC, @ehbildu, @obloque and @sinnfeinireland
A space organised with @EFAparty to share strategies from the local level and build sovereignty through municipal action
🇪🇺 The self-determination of Europe’s peoples is built from the bottom up. The local level is the first school of collective empowerment.
✊ Last weekend, at “Shared Sovereignty”, we shared strategies for building democracy from Catalonia, Corsica, EH, Galiza and Ireland.
🏴🏴 The elections in Scotland and Wales show a growing demand for self-government, social democracy and a more European outlook.
Congratulations to @theSNP and @Plaid_Cymru! At a time when populism is rising these results show that democracy and self-determination still matter!
Pleasure to speak this afternoon with the leadership of Plaid Cymru & Sinn Fein - @RhunapIorwerth, @MoNeillSF and @MaryLouMcdonald.
The direction of travel and demand for independence is clear, and Westminster should grasp the significance of this moment.
🏴 A historic moment for Wales!
For the first time, @Plaid_Cymru is set to lead the Welsh Government with a mandate for change, and a clear direction for Wales.
A turning point in Welsh politics. 💚
We did it: Wales' largest party!
Thank you to each and every one of you that put your trust in Plaid Cymru 💚
Now, let's gets on with it - for Wales 🫡🏴
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Carlos Garaikoetxea, founder of @ealkartasuna first President of the Basque Country, and a former MEP. His commitment to democratic values, self-determination, and European cooperation helped shape our shared journey 🖤

Today, Sardinians proudly remember the revolutionary uprising of 1794 against the tyranny of the Royal House of Savoy.
Despite the bloody reaction of the Savoys, Sardinia takes pride of the principles of justice, equality and freedom that inspired those events. ✊
25th of April is both a celebration and a reminder: not all nations yet enjoy full rights and freedom and even where they do, these rights must be actively defended and maintained ✊🍊🌹🇪🇺
Today, as the world marks the commemoration of the #ArmenianGenocide attention is once again drawn to the fragility of Armenian cultural heritage. Reports from #Artsakh about the Holy Mother of God Cathedral have intensified concerns about cultural preservation.
On #SantJordi, #Catalonia celebrates culture, love and the power of sharing stories 📚
A reminder that #Europe is also built on diversity, identity and exchange and must continue to protect and promote its regions and cultures.
PS: we already gave our book (full of signatures)
For EFA the #MFF must ensure a EU that works for all its territories. We presented to Raffaele Fitto tailored solutions, decisions closer to citizens, and 600+ signatures from our local and national representatives. Europe is built from its regions 💜

Regional parliaments across Europe are rejecting the re-centralisation of EU funding. Led by EFA, Catalonia, the Basque Country, Corsica, Brittany and Fryslând have adopted resolutions calling on the Commission to revise the #MFF and ensure a stronger role for regions!
