Hungary Breaks with Orbán's Legacy!
Speaking directly to @magyarpeterMP, @vonderleyen recalls the commitments they made following Hungary's historic April election, which ended @PM_ViktorOrban's 16 years in power.
The central question now is whether the government's anti-corruption and rule of law reforms can deliver lasting institutional change and restore public confidence.

Democracy Is Not Inevitable! Powerful Warning to Europe from Hungary.
European Commission President @vonderleyen delivers a powerful warning about the fragility of democracy during the 70th anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 in Budapest on October 23, 2026.
Speaking at the historic commemorations, von der Leyen honours the Hungarian students, workers and citizens who stood against Soviet-backed communist rule, demanding freedom, democracy and justice.
Her message goes beyond the memory of Soviet repression.

The Soviets Were Afraid!
European Commission President @vonderleyen delivers a powerful message about dictatorship, fear and the unstoppable desire for freedom during the 70th anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 in Budapest on October 23, 2026.
Speaking at the commemorative ceremony, von der Leyen explains why Soviet authorities responded with overwhelming military force when Hungarian students, workers and citizens rose against communist rule.
"They were afraid. Afraid of the people in whose names they claimed to act."
From Soviet-controlled Budapest in 1956 to the democratic struggles of today, the question remains: Why do authoritarian governments fear the power of ordinary people demanding freedom?

Hope Is Not the Same as Optimism!
European Commission President @vonderleyen delivers a moving reflection on freedom, courage and the meaning of hope during the 70th anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 in Budapest on October 23, 2026.
Quoting former Czech President and dissident Václav Havel, von der Leyen recalls one of his most powerful reflections on the human spirit:
"Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism."
The words capture the determination of the Hungarian people who stood against Soviet-backed communist rule in October 1956, despite facing overwhelming military power.
A powerful message from Budapest about the courage of ordinary people and the enduring spirit of European freedom.

Profonde émotion suite à l’attaque à l’arme à feu survenue à Trappes et La Verrière.

Une personne est décédée. Plusieurs autres sont grièvement blessées.

Nos pensées vont aux victimes, à leurs familles, ainsi qu’à tous les habitants des Yvelines. Dans cette terrible épreuve, la Nation se tient à leurs côtés.

Reconnaissance à nos forces de l’ordre qui ont déjà procédé à l’interpellation de l’auteur. Le parquet national antiterroriste s’est saisi.

[S&D Group @TheProgressives]

We stand with the people of Serbia and hope that this Sunday marks a step towards a better future, with no turning back on democracy and freedom.

Young people and the whole of Serbian society deserve a country where the rule of law is respected and everyone can live free from repression.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Deeply alarmed by yet another Russian escalation in the Black Sea.

A civilian vessel carrying Ukrainian and Azerbaijani crew has been struck off the coast of Romania.

These reckless attacks target innocent lives and openly defy international law.

My thoughts are with the family and loved ones of the sailor that was killed.

And with the families of the three crew members still missing.

My gratitude goes to the rescue teams working tirelessly to find them.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Honoured to attend the commemorations of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution in Budapest.

70 years ago, Hungarians rose up against oppression.

They fought for freedom, democracy and justice.

The very values at the heart of Europe today.

Their courage lives on.
