The man must not be free of a possibility of being persecuted.

💥SCOOP: Rumors intensifying that Viktor Orbán's MAGA allies want to throw him a lifeline: a top UN job, with diplomatic immunity attached, to shield him from prosecution back home in Hungary.

@Net_Arts @drs_even Ehm Cuba ziet er zo uit omdat het gewoonweg belegerd wordt door de VS. Dat weet je wel hè? Vanaf het moment dat Castro daar de boel had overgenomen is er geen moment van normale kans geweest. Niet dat ik denk dat het een goed systeem is maar er is gewoonweg geen goed vergelijk.

The European Parliament is replacing Google with Qwant as its default search engine.

For years, Europe has relied on foreign companies for its data, search services, and digital infrastructure.

Today, it is beginning to build its own alternatives.

[NXT EU @NXT4EU]

The US is set to fund Trump-Aligned politicians in Europe via a new grant.

This meddling in our internal politics is a blatant breach of our sovereignty.

[Astra Europa Nederland @AstraEuropaNL]

Een verenigd Europa benadert de wereld vanuit een positie van kracht. Het moet zijn belangen en waarden verdedigen, democratische partners steunen en ijveren voor een mondiale governance die de multipolaire realiteit van de 21e eeuw weerspiegelt.

@qwerty_954792 @NXT4EU Ecosia is chromium. So you'll get the same but you'll do something for this planet, but oh oh. Nah I want to stick with the big numbers. Why? don't care I like big numbers

[NXT EU @NXT4EU]

From Google to Ecosia, 6 large European companies have made the switch to European search for stronger data-security and digital sovereignty.

And not just that, these companies are now planting thousands of trees every year just by switching to Ecosia.

Europe is suffering from one of the weakest generations of politicians in its history. Endless talk, zero ownership, no vision. What Europe needs are builders: leaders who take responsibility, tackle hard problems head-on, and are judged by outcomes rather than speeches.

Migration chaos. Broken housing markets. Bloated bureaucracy. Energy insecurity. War. Rising living costs. These are not communication problems. They are execution problems. We need competent leaders willing to take ownership of one structural challenge after another and be held accountable for real, measurable results.

But Europe faces an even deeper problem. We have lost our shared ambition. Europe has become a project of managing decline rather than building a brighter future. Where is the European dream that unites us? Why shouldn’t our goal be to make Europe the most innovative, prosperous, sustainable, and free civilization on Earth?

A Europe that achieves energy independence. A Europe that leads the world in science, technology, manufacturing, health, longevity, and culture. A Europe where young families can afford a home, start a business, raise children, and look to the future with confidence.

People do not rally behind process. They rally behind purpose. Europe needs builders. Europe needs a new vision. Europe needs a future worth building.

@P_Kallioniemi And then the Russians dare to complain about the decadence of the west

[Rolf Strijdhorst 🇪🇺 @rolfst]

@MaximoMustero @AstraEuropaNL No you don't read what we put in our manifest. And then you add your own ideas and project those on ours

[Rolf Strijdhorst 🇪🇺 @rolfst]

Europa en met name Nederland blijven maar terugkomen dat ons leger opgebouwd moet worden voor de toekomst. Waarom voor de toekomst? er is nu oorlog in Europa. #rearmeurope dit is wederom een teken dat onze huidige en vorige politici hebben gefaald. @AstraEuropaNL heeft wel visie

You don't see the black smoke anymore but nitrogen is huge. Still within European limits but the combination with the Netherlands and belgium lead to bad air

@vanderberg88 @robintel Don't forget the Ruhr area. We have in a really tiny area lots of heavy industry and agriculture heavy industry. And traffic

[Rolf Strijdhorst 🇪🇺 @rolfst]

@MaximoMustero @AstraEuropaNL Ok but did you know most immigrants aren't refugees by far? So what's your stance on that?

[Rolf Strijdhorst 🇪🇺 @rolfst]

@MaximoMustero @AstraEuropaNL Well you are bound to be illegal with that. Remigration. And when does that stop? Full border is in our manifest.
But unacceptable for whom? You? You don't make the law.

[Lars 🇪🇺🇳🇱 @vanderberg88]

This creates a dangerous gap. Because Europe is tied to 27 different political cycles and short-term spending plans, it reacts slowly to “low-cost” hybrid attacks. Russia can iterate its strategy faster than Europe can coordinate a response.

[NXT EU @NXT4EU]

Today, 51 years ago the European Space Agency was founded. 🇪🇺🚀

From Ariane to Rosetta, from Gaia to Galileo and Juice. ESA proves what Europe can achieve when we unite our talents and ambition.

The next frontier is calling. Time to go bigger, more ambitious together. 🌕

[Rolf Strijdhorst 🇪🇺 @rolfst]

@vanderberg88 Spain is creating more and more loopholes by doing everything on their own. While I appreciate their military stance economically they step outside EU frontiers and weaken our solidarity.
