"The future of Ukraine and its citizens lies within the European Union."
The Presidents of the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission reconfirm their commitment to Ukraine in a new statement ↓
The blue and yellow of Ukraine.
The colours of resistance against imperialism.
On the eve of this grim anniversary, they adorn our building as a symbol of our unflinching support for the Ukrainian people.
Our neighbours, partners, and future EU members.
Across generations.
From all backgrounds.
With different experiences.
But all with one common goal: to make Europe stronger.
The structure of von der Leyen II Commission.
From Rio 2016 to Paris 2024 🤯

Beautiful football and beautiful victory, made possible by the talented sons of immigrants. And Spain is not alone. Looking at #EURO2024 is looking at Europe’s immigration history and seeing its future, diversity and strength. Because this result would not be possible without it.
I condemn Israel’s actions which killed scores of innocent civilians who were only seeking shelter from this deadly conflict.
There is no safe place in Gaza.
This horror must stop.
Images of burned children & families emerging from bombed tents in #Rafah shocks us all. The reported killing of children sheltering in makeshift tents is unconscionable. For over 7 months, we've witnessed this tragedy unfold, resulting in thousands of children killed or injured.
Heel dankbaar dat ik heb mogen meewerken aan deze podcast, en heel blij met het eindresultaat dankzij @EU4BE team en een fijn gesprek met @SDeRynck_EU4BE. Of waarom samenwerking rond #migrationEU zo belangrijk is. Luisteren maar 🎧
Migratie heeft, en zal, altijd bestaan.

The only way forward must be a ceasefire, full access to all humanitarian aid needed, and a hostage deal. The unfathomable death toll and destruction must stop. This has always been the only viable and moral way out of this madness, and there is no time to waste. There never was.
Dozens gather outside the institutions in Brussels at a rally of EU civil servants & institutional staff. They’re denouncing what they call EU inaction on the war in Gaza, laying down flowers & symbolic bodies labelled “international law,” “EU treaties” and “genocide convention.”
35,000 dead, #Gaza on brink of famine, attack on #Rafah imminent: ‘business as usual’ is well behind us.
More pressure is needed, by all possible peaceful means .
Ongoing violations of international law demand strong response. Belgium is working on European economic sanctions.
Thank you, London. It's the honour of my life to serve the city I love. 🙏🏿
Today is not about making history, it’s about shaping our future.
And I'll work relentlessly to shape a fairer, safer, greener city for every Londoner.
