Today, we gather in Rome to mark the beginning of the pontificate of Pope Leo XIV.
Since his election, His Holiness has carried a profound message of peace.
Peace sustained through understanding and perseverance.
It is a message that resonates deeply, across the world, and especially in our continent.
In Europe, we know that peace cannot be taken for granted.
It must be crafted, tended, and cherished.
As Pope Leo XIV embarks on his magisterium, let us walk with him in his vision:
Peace as a miracle we are all called to shape.
Today we come together to honour a man who led with kindness, peaceful strength and compassion.
His Holiness Pope Francis reminded us that love must reach the margins, and he embraced the less fortunate.
The displaced. The forgotten. The voiceless.
He called on us to care for each other, and for the Earth we all share.
His legacy is one of mercy, justice, and hope. It will continue to light the way.
Pope Francis built bridges.
May we walk them.
Today, the world mourns the passing of Pope Francis.
He inspired millions, far beyond the Catholic Church, with his humility and love so pure for the less fortunate.
My thoughts are with all who feel this profound loss.
May they find solace in the idea that Pope Francis’ legacy will continue to guide us all toward a more just, peaceful and compassionate world.
On #EuropeDay, we honour Robert Schuman's vision of a united, peaceful, and thriving Europe.
We celebrate the people who built our Union.
And those who keep building it every day.
This day belongs to all Europeans—the dreamers and the builders.
Together, we are stronger.
Mario Draghi is one of Europe's greatest economic minds.
No-one is better placed to analyse what Europe can do to keep its competitive edge.
Today we had a good discussion on his report on Europe's future competitiveness.
Europe once again must answer the call of history.
And that is what we must do together.

@vonderleyen thank you for your visit to the city of Cesena. It was a great sign of the closeness of the European Union to Italy and to the suffering of the citizens of @RegioneER
Inizio la mia visita della Sicilia a Capaci, per onorare Giovanni Falcone, Francesca Morvillo e tutte le vittime di mafia.
Falcone disse: Gli uomini passano, le idee restano e camminano sulle gambe di altri uomini.
Oggi una nuova generazione porta avanti le sue idee.
@UPS_IT Da una settimana che provo a ritirare un pacco in un delivery point sempre chiuso e ora mi rispondono che poiché il cliente non ha ritirato il pacco lo rimandare al mittente. Ma voi state scherzando????? Siete un caos di azienda incapaci di fornire un servizio decente
@UPS_IT Quinto tentativo di ritirare un pacco negli orari indicati andato a male. Perché punto di ritiro sempre chiuso. Non vi vergognate di affidarvi a questa gente???? Voglio il mio pacco!!!!
@UPS_IT avete scelto un delivery point che è sempre chiuso. Gente totalmente inaffidabile e poco professionale. Dovreste vergognarvi di affidare le vostre consegne e i vostri clienti a questa gentaglia. Parlo di Saraya - chausse de Wavre 495 - Etterbeek 1040 - Belgium
Thank you @GiorgiaMeloni for the strong signal sent by your visit to 🇪🇺 institutions on your first trip abroad.
It was a good opportunity to exchange on critical issues ranging from support to Ukraine, energy to the 🇮🇹 #NextGenEU and migration.
Good first call with @GiorgiaMeloni today.
We will work together to address the critical challenges of our time from Ukraine to energy.
I look forward to a first meeting in person in Brussels in the near future.
