#SOTEU

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

At the Munich Security Conference, I emphasized that European policy must not just be promising—it must make America want to stand with a strong Europe. Europe must decide its own future with confidence in its strength so that others have no choice but to respect its power.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Glad to address the @DLDConference.

Preserving and restoring nature is our obligation towards the next generations.

And it has also become a clear economic case.

In Europe, we show that we can make it work ↓ https://t.co/NQQj7KyyqP

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

5 more years.

I can’t begin to express how grateful I am for the trust of all MEPs that voted for me.

[Max Krahé @maxkrahe]

One week ago, @OlafScholz and @EmmanuelMacron published an @FT oped entitled "we must strengthen European sovereignty". A great signal, but its substance left me uneasy/worried. Here's an attempt to verbalise my worries: 🧵

We should never take democracy for granted. Use your vote. Or others will decide for you.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

With the right political action, we can trigger a new surge of European competitiveness.

At the last #EUCO, EU leaders gave us a clear mandate to turn this political will into action.

So Europe remains the global beating heart of industry & innovation ↓ https://t.co/PPvbyFSdnA

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

This COP28 is about ambition, targets and finance.

Europe has consistently delivered on the $100 billion climate finance target.

And we help get the new Loss & Damage Fund up and running, with €25 million. https://t.co/MQ2nuuW0dq

@spignal Let's write it together !

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Mario Draghi is one of Europe's greatest economic minds.

No-one is better placed to analyse what Europe can do to keep its competitive edge.

Today we had a good discussion on his report on Europe's future competitiveness.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Ich verneige mich vor dem Mut der iranischen Frauen und Mädchen,
die die Protestzüge anführen.

Sie kämpfen für ihre persönliche Freiheit und zugleich für einen offeneren und freieren Iran.

Sie verdienen unsere Solidarität und Unterstützung.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

When Europe is bold, it gets things done.

And our work is far from over – so let’s stand together.

Let’s deliver today and prepare for tomorrow.

Heatwave in Europe

Mediterranean 5°C hotter than it should be

North Atlantic Ocean surface hotter than it has ever been.

Why are you not worried about this?

This is not weather.

This is shattering climate records

This is #ClimateChange

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

For 50 years, @etuc_ces has contributed to making Europe a better place for all.

You have given workers a voice.

You have mobilised for fair salaries and good jobs.

So we can stay true to the European promise to put people first ↓ https://t.co/WWb6bQsBk9

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

This year, the EU is taking forward over 90 major projects under #GlobalGateway as part of #PGII.

And we are mobilising an extra €4 billion in loans for Asia-Pacific ↓

You've probably heard of this guy called Erasmus before — but who was he? Well, this quote sums him up:

"I believe in listening to both sides with openness. I love liberty. I will not and cannot serve any faction."

Here is the story of history's greatest educator...

[Max Krahé @maxkrahe]

1/ This morning @c_lindner argued for strict fiscal rules in the @FT. Just now, @ProSyn published @PhilippaSigl @janeksteitz and my oped. We link macro w/ climate, show why decarbonization needs new fiscal rules & "all of economy" approach. Arg below 🧵:
