This is not how the EU 🇪🇺 works. The "net payer" concept is flawed. It ignores the broader benefits of EU membership stemming from market access, stability, and public goods. EU membership isn’t a zero-sum game - it's about shared prosperity, not financial transactions.

800 women were assassinated in 🇪🇺 in 2022 alone, victims of gender violence. This is the most extreme form of violence against women and girls. All forms of gender violence are intolerable. #SayNO #StopViolenceAgainstWomenandGirls

Close to €20 billion from #CohesionPolicy's European Regional Development Fund #ERDF have been allocated to inclusive growth areas since 2021. This includes Roma inclusion, based on the principles of desegregation and non-discrimination.

In the last 5 years I visited close to 100 different regions/cities – often the less developed - in all 🇪🇺 countries. I was very inspired to see so many great regional development projects & witness how #CohesionPolicy fosters economic & social progress & improves people's lives.
