A pleasure to address the @Europarl_EN Conference of Committee Chairs.

At a time of war, polarisation and declining trust, the 🇪🇺 must stay connected to people’s realities - and show that democracy delivers. This is not possible without active civil society participation.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Good meeting with @EESC_President Séamus Boland.

The EESC is the voice of civil society in Europe.

Together, we’ll work to defend democracy and deliver EU policies for people, especially the young and the most vulnerable.

From affordable housing to the fight against poverty.

[European Economic and Social Committee @EU_EESC]

We are nominated for the #EOAward for Good Administration 2026 for our Youth Test initiative!

Only a coordinated EU action can help young Ukrainians recover. 🇺🇦 🇪🇺

At our #EESCPlenary, @ZelenskaUA underlined that 684 children have been killed & more than 2,000 wounded so far.

We call for #EUCivilSociety to contribute funding initiatives to support Ukraine's youth.

Good exchange with Commissioner @hadjalahbib on equality, disability rights and EU crisis preparedness.

Civil society and volunteers are indispensable in protecting people, strengthening resilience and turning the EU Disability Strategy into reality on the ground.

🗣️“Housing is urgent. It cannot be solved in a couple of days, but it has to be done, and it has to be done now.”

On #EuropeToday, @EESC_President Séamus Boland calls on EU leaders to “take the lead” in solving Europe’s housing crisis.

[M. Silvia Bartolucci @masilba]

@EESC_President just opened the #EESCplenary with a high level debate on Russia's war against Ukraine and its impact on children and youth.
