Just voted ✅ (411+, 100-, 78abs) to raise tarrifs on imports of the Russian #fertilizers & agri to the EU. We cut off further financing of the war and increase our economic & food #security by supporting 🇪🇺 #industry. As shadow, I thank Inese Vaidere for a great cooperation!

No more Russian fertilizers - EU imposes tough new customs duties! We strongly supports the European Commission's new proposal to increase customs duties on Russian & Belarusian agricultural products. 📰Lubica Karvasova & Marie-Pierre Vedrenne 👇 reneweuropegroup.eu/news/2025-05-2…

With my fellow MEPs visiting the most #inspiring & ambitious project for the mankind in Europe: #ITER at Cadarache. A symbol of #cooperation & integration. Our aspiration to push #boundaries of science beyond known. Great to hear about the advances. It deserves our full support!

A narrow outcome (10,2 vs 10,6 mil.) of #PolishElections in favour of #Nawrocki is a reason for populists & extremists in #CentralEurope to cheer? I don’t think so. This is #NotANewAlly for your appeasment vis-a-vis Putin & pro-Russian activities undermining security in Europe.

#SouthKorea elected its new President. Sincere congratulations to a liberal 이재명. Given economic uncertainties he might favour moderate approaches. However, as a member of 🇰🇷🇰🇵-🇪🇺 delegation in European Parliament, we count on 🇰🇷 to be a close, reliable partner & ally to us!

81 ys ago more than 150.000 soldiers from 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇬🇧 stormed #Normandy. They didn’t ask: Is this our war? They knew freedom must be defended & became our #allies. Today, some say that Russia’s agression is not our war. But isolation & silence has never brought peace to Europe. #DDay

A legitimate role of co-legislators, both European Parliament & the Council must be respected. We expect no less from all political groups, incl. the one with the biggest responsibility EPP, as well as from European Commission and Ursula von der Leyen. Renew Europe

It’s not often that we hear good news from #Belarus, but today Sergei #Tikhanovsky is released from prison. Sending courage on this important day to Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya and her entire family, friends and colleagues. We stand by your side in your fight for a democratic Belarus!

Genuine debate in AFCO Committee Press on Sandro Gozi’s report 🇪🇺reform & enlargement w/national parliaments, incl. from candidate countries. My claims: 🔵 Enlargement is an opportunity for both EU & candidates if managed well 🟡 effective decision-making instead of veto & blackmail

BIG! REGI Committee Press adopted its #mandate for the #midterm review of #cohesion policy. As a shadow of Renew Europe a number of our proposals were adopted: the Rule of Law, Just Transition, incl. mine: regional EU funds can’t be reprogrammed without a consent of regional authorities!

My grand father. Imrich Karvaš. A true #hero of Slovakia now has his statue. As 1st Governor of National Bank, secretly helped to organize Slovak National Uprising against Nazis in 1944. Haunted by Nazis & Communists for his firm beliefs: Slovakia🇸🇰 to be #free & #democratic.

Contradiction leaking from Berlaymont on the regional funds 2 weeks before #MFF is out! European Parliament has made it clear, we don’t agree to their centralization. It’s time to remind Ursula von der Leyen her political #promise from 1 year ago:“Regions will remain at the centre of our work”.

It was a real pleasure co-hosting w/Sandro Gozi Renew Europe seminar on #BridgeForEU. This 🇪🇺 tool, now in place, brings a new dimension to solve daily #barriers in #border regions where 30% of #EU citizens live. Next: awareness-raising & real change on the ground. Stay tuned!

We in Renew Europe take the future of our #regions very seriously. That is why, on the initiative of Raquel & myself, we are the 1st of European Parliament groups to present the position on the #cohesion policy ahead of #MFF proposal. 🔗 reneweuropegroup.eu/news/2025-07-0…

EU🇪🇺 is now in the hands of Mette Frederiksen & Danish Presidency of the Council of the EU 2025! In the months ahead, we must increase our efforts to protect #democracy, enhance #defence & strengthen #compet, but staying connected to people in the #regions & their needs. This must be mirrored in the next #MFF too!

“Regions will remain at the centre of our work” said Ursula von der Leyen year ago. We must hold on to this in the next #MFF! Centralisation threatens #cohesion. It takes decisions away from citizens & weakens their #trust in 🇪🇺project. We need strong regions. Promises must be kept!

🇪🇺engaged in good faith w/ 🇺🇸 for months. Pres Trump now wants to impose 30% tariffs = unwanted escalation. Instead of “arting the deal”, he makes everything more expensive for US consumers. We want a deal. But it might be time to bring out EU’s trade bazookas. Renew Europe
