Lo que está ocurriendo en la frontera entre #España y #Marruecos supone un riesgo para la seguridad de toda la Unión Europea.
La inmigración ilegal debe combatirse con todos los instrumentos que ofrece el Estado de Derecho.
Todo aquello que sea ilegal debe combatirse y nunca fomentarse.
El Gobierno de España, liderado por Pedro #Sánchez, tiene la obligación de proteger las fronteras del espacio Schengen, aplicar la legislación europea y actuar con firmeza frente a la inmigración ilegal y cualquier acto contrario a la ley.

Events unfolding at the border between #Spain and #Morocco pose a risk to the security of the European Union as a whole.
Illegal migration has to be combatted with all legal tools.
Everything that is illegal has to be tackled and shall never be encouraged.
The Spanish Government led by Prime Minister Pedro #Sanchez shall properly protect the borders of the Schengen area, shall apply European legislation and shall tackle illegal acts.

Congratulations to Prime Minister @Vasile_Tofan and the members of Moldova’s new Government.
The swift formation of a new, pro European government demonstrates the strength of Moldova’s democratic institutions and its commitment to the European path.
With a pro European absolute majority secured by @Parliament_RM and the leadership of President @sandumaiamd, the new Government has the political support needed to continue reforms and keep Moldova’s EU accession process moving at the strong pace achieved in recent years.
#Moldova continues to set an example of resilience, political responsibility and determination on its path towards EU membership.
Wishing Prime Minister Vasile Tofan and his team every success in the work ahead.
El espíritu de NextGenerationEU era claro: invertir, reformar y fortalecer las economías europeas.
El Gobierno socialista español aprovechó una laguna legal para desviar fondos de su finalidad original, retrasando inversiones que hoy habrían hecho a la economía española más resiliente.

The spirit of NextGenerationEU was clear: invest, reform and strengthen Europe’s economies.
The Spanish Socialist government exploited a loophole to divert funds away from their intended purpose, delaying investments that would have made Spain’s economy more resilient today.

It was a pleasure to meet again with @MihaiPopsoi in Brussels.
Moldova is making steady progress on its path to the European Union, with each new step bringing the country closer to accession.
We, the @Europarl_EN, will continue to support Moldova throughout this process.
Moldova's path to the European Union is moving forward.
Today, Cluster 6, External Relations, is officially opened in Moldova's EU accession negotiations. This comes just days after we, in the @Europarl_EN, called for opening all remaining negotiation clusters through an amendment I tabled.
We now expect the remaining four clusters to follow soon.
We will continue to stand firmly with @Parlament_RM and @GuvernulRMD throughout the accession process.
Europe keeps its promise to Moldova.
We just voted in the #EPlenary for the @Europarl_EN's annual report on #Moldova, with a strong majority.
We call for opening all remaining accession negotiation clusters without delay, condemn Russia's continued attempts to undermine Moldova's democracy, and call for stronger EU support.
Moldova's future is in Europe, and Europe's security depends on it.
The Republic of Moldova is making faster progress towards the European Union than any other candidate country.
In the @Europarl_EN#EPlenary debate on the Report on Moldova, we welcomed this progress and underlined that Moldovan citizens are already benefiting from European integration through closer cooperation and participation in more EU programmes.
Europe is delivering for the people of #Moldova.
The Republic of Moldova's place is in the European Union.
Today, in the @Europarl_EN, we debated the report on Moldova, which we will vote on tomorrow.
We call for opening all negotiating clusters by the end of this year, continuing reforms and keeping up the momentum towards EU accession.
Today's ruling upholding Marine Le Pen's conviction exposes the same recipe used by extremists across Europe.
They attack the EU while abusing public money, promise easy answers without real solutions, and too often show sympathy for the Kremlin.
Extremism is about serving political interests, not citizens.
This is why we shall stay away from populist extremists.
If we expect Europe to do more, we must give it the resources to do so.
We, the @Europarl_EN, have already adopted our position on the next long-term #EUbudget, with security and competitiveness as new priorities, while continuing to support farmers, fishers and regions. Europe cannot do more with less.
We now count on @Ireland2026eu to help move negotiations forward.
#EPlenary
A merit-based enlargement policy makes both candidate countries and the European Union stronger and more secure.
We welcome the Irish Presidency's strong focus on enlargement. Supporting our neighbours means strengthening Europe's security and stability.
@Ireland2026eu@Europarl_EN #EPlenary
Europe's priorities are clear: defend our values and democracy, invest more in security and defence, and build a stronger, more competitive economy fit for the digital age and AI.
The Irish Presidency's programme reflects these priorities.
We look forward to working with @Ireland2026eu to deliver them together with us, the @Europarl_EN.
#EPlenary
This week marks the @Europarl_EN’s last #EPlenary session before the summer break.
I will speak in two key debates, on the priorities of the @Ireland2026EU and on the European Commission's 2025 Report on the Republic of #Moldova.
The week also includes plenary votes, negotiations on the next EU long-term budget, and meetings with representatives of EU institutions and Member States.

Happy Independence Day to the United States of America!
We will continue to work for a transatlantic partnership based on democracy, freedom, rule of law and human rights.

A major step forward for Gdańsk, Pomerania and Poland.
The Gdańsk Metropolitan Area is now a reality. Better regional cooperation means better transport, stronger innovation, smarter planning and more opportunities for the 1.6 million people who call the region home.
Congratulations to @Dulkiewicz_A and everyone who worked for years to make this happen. The work by local governments, together with the legislation introduced by @donaldtusk’s government, have turned this awaited reform into reality.
#Gdańsk #Pomerania #Poland
We are bringing Moldova closer and closer to the European Union.
@GuvernulRo launched yesterday the works contract for the first motorway crossing over the river marking the border between #Romania and #Moldova, towards Moldova's capital, Chișinău.
Funded through the EU's #SAFE programme, this project will strengthen connectivity, boost investment, and reinforce the EU's security infrastructure at its eastern border.
