In 1996, EU Commissioner Erkki Liikanen received Santa Claus in Brussels.
They met, they did a press point and they discussed the accusations regarding Santa's monopolistic position, among other topics.
Today – and every day – we stand with the victims.
Women like Giulia Cecchettin, Debora Mihailova and Gisèle Pélicot deserve shelter and support.
They deserve justice to be served.
They deserve to be heard.
Let us break the silence.
Let us end the #ViolenceAgainstWomen

Europe may not be a military superpower, or a pop culture superpower. But it's an economic superpower and, uniquely, the world's social superpower.
Europe is the best place to live in the world (even if an inferiority complex means many here don't understand that). That's power.

Enough is enough.
