Wenn einer von uns ins Visier genommen wird, stehen wir alle zusammen.

Unsere volle Solidarität gilt Deutschland nach Russlands hybridem Angriff in Leipzig – und allen EU-Mitgliedstaaten, die ähnlichen Angriffen ausgesetzt waren.

Wir lassen uns weder einschüchtern noch spalten. Europa steht zusammen – entschlossen und bereit, unsere Sicherheit und unsere Lebensweise zu verteidigen.

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Pleased that @CanadianPM @MarkJCarney will attend the @Europarl_EN's Plenary Session in Strasbourg in September.

He will be a guest of honour at the State of the Union debate by @EU_Commission President @vonderleyen, before his formal address to MEPs.

The Prime Minister's important visit will be an opportunity to deepen EU-Canada ties and strengthen our bond 🇪🇺🇨🇦

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Tonight, Brussels and Kyiv shine bright in blue and yellow, for freedom, united in hope and solidarity 🇪🇺🇺🇦

Happy Independence Day Ukraine!

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Aliaksandr Milinkevich dedicated his life to the fight for democracy in Belarus.

All of us at @Europarl_EN are deeply saddened by his passing. The 2006 Sakharov Prize laureate was forced into exile, but he never gave up on his country or his vision of a free Belarusian society.

His courage and legacy will stay with us. Europe continues to stand with the people of Belarus.

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Heute sind unsere Gedanken bei den Opfern des Angriffs in Berlin, ihren Angehörigen und allen, die am Christopher Street Day teilnehmen.

Hass und Gewalt haben keinen Platz in unserem Europa der Freiheit und des Respekts. Wir werden auch weiterhin geschlossen gegen diejenigen stehen, die Angst und Spaltung säen wollen.

[European Parliament @Europarl_EN]

German and EU flags in front of Parliament fly at half-mast as a sign of solidarity with the victims of the Berlin Pride attack. @EP_President: “Hate and violence have no place in our Europe of freedom and respect. We stand united against those who seek to sow fear and division.”

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Congratulations to the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom @andyburnham 🇪🇺🇬🇧

Europe and the UK are strongest when we work together as close partners.

In the months and years ahead, we look forward to building on the strong momentum we have created. By working side by side, we can strengthen our shared security, boost prosperity, and create new opportunities for all our people.

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

A larger Europe is a stronger and safer Europe.

As @Europarl_EN has long called for, Member States have given the green light to start EU accession negotiations with Ukraine and Moldova.

The opening of the first chapters on democracy, justice and the rule of law underlines both countries' reform efforts and their commitment to European values. All while pushing back against Russia's aggression, threats and intimidation.

Enlargement is our strongest geopolitical tool, and Ukraine and Moldova belong in Europe 🇪🇺🇺🇦🇲🇩

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Today’s EU-Western Balkans Summit in Tivat, Montenegro, is different.

We are no longer only talking about enlargement.

We are doing it.

On behalf of @Europarl_EN, I want to express our complete solidarity with the people of Romania and with all those affected by the Russian drone that smashed into an apartment building in Galați this morning.

Europe stands united in the face of Russia's escalation.

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Russia's latest indiscriminate attacks on Kyiv and Ukrainian cities have killed and injured yet more innocent people.

We will not be silent. These acts of brutality do not serve to strengthen Russia's hand. It weakens it.

The brave people of Ukraine remain resilient and Europe will keep standing with them.

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Every time someone shows up, every time someone stands up, our Europe is made stronger.

These are the first laureates of the European Order of Merit.

Good meeting with UK Minister for Trade Sir @RhonddaBryant. A stronger EU-UK partnership is essential for trade, security and Europe’s strategic future. In a fragmented world, rebuilding trust and cooperation between the EU and the UK is not optional. It is a political necessity.

As of today, the Anti-SLAPP Directive becomes a reality across all EU Member States.

A powerful tool to address abusive lawsuits used to silence the truth.

This is for Daphne Caruana Galizia. For every journalist, activist, academic, artist and researcher who refuse to back down. For everyone who works to keep our democracy alive.

Proud to have worked with colleagues in @Europarl_EN to make this happen.

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

In an increasingly unpredictable world, working closely with our friends and allies across the globe is more important than ever.

That’s why we’re in Yerevan today.

To build the political will to tackle our shared challenges, together.

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Excellent meeting with the Prime Minister of Canada @MarkJCarney in the margins of the EPC in Yerevan.

As close allies and like-minded partners that share common values and so much more, we had a very good discussion on European and Canadian priorities including defence, trade and Artificial Intelligence.

We will keep building on this momentum in the months ahead 🇪🇺🇨🇦

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Ensure freedom of speech.
Protect journalists.
Safeguard democracy.

This #WorldPressFreedomDay, @Europarl_EN reaffirms its unwavering commitment to making sure journalists can do their work safely.

Free from threats, violence, and intimidation.

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Wonderful news!

Very happy to see @Europarl_EN Sakharov Prize laureate Andrzej Poczobut free.
