The European Parliament #Brussels opened its doors yesterday. 15,000 people came by to learn more about parliamentary work. By taking the time to listen and explain, we bring Europe closer to its citizens. Thank you to the teams who made this day possible. 🇪🇺 #EuropeDay #EUOpenDay

C’était un plaisir de pouvoir intervenir dans le cours du Pr. Grandjean à l’ULg et de décoder, avec les étudiants, les grands enjeux du moment. Une façon de raccrocher la théorie à l’actualité, que ça soit la guerre en Ukraine ou les tensions commerciales par exemple.

Proud to carry the colours & commitments of European Parliament at #BrusselsPride. In a climate increasingly hostile - or repressive, as in Hungary - to LGBTIQ+ people, unity beyond our differences matters more than ever. Freedom. Respect. Humanity. Central to EU values. 🇪🇺🌈

Aujourd’hui, des acteurs et régimes étrangers ont compris comme s’ingérer dans nos démocraties pour les détruire de l’intérieur. J’ai demandé à Michael McGrath un système d’évaluation et s’assurer que chaque É-m soit équipé pour protéger ses élections et une démocratie pluraliste

Foreign actors and regimes understand how to interfere in our democracies and destroy them from within. I’ve asked Michael McGrath for an evaluation system to ensure every State is equipped to protect its elections and pluralistic democracy. LIBE Committee Press

We had the pleasure of welcoming 60 Belgian trainees currently at the EU institutions, who engaged with our PermRep colleagues across various fields and were later inspired by 🇪🇺 Parliament's Vice-President Sophie Wilmès, who shared her journey and motivated these young talents!

We’re moving in the right direction. #StopRedTape The vast majority of SMEs and individuals will be exempt from the carbon border tax (#CBAM). Procedures will also be simplified. The European Parliament has just voted in favour of these changes. Renew Europe ALDE Party

On va dans la bonne direction. #StopRedTape La très grande majorité des PME et des particuliers sera exemptée de la taxe carbone (#CBAM). Les démarches seront aussi simplifiées. Le Parlement européen vient de voter en faveur de ces modifications. MR Renew Europe

Making it impossible to speak out against those in power. Behind the words and excuses, that’s the real aim of #Hungary’s new law. To allow this to happen now is to accept that, tomorrow, anyone in Europe could undermine core democratic principles.

The law that tries to silence all opposing voices in #Hungary goes against our democratic values and breaks the rules we all share. You break the rules, you get sanctioned. With over 60 MEPs from both right and left, I am calling on the Commission to act now.

Is Slovakia the new Hungary? The government seems intent on following in Mr Orbán’s footsteps. In Bratislava, we met with authorities and civil society. As the #DRFMG mission ends, legitimate concerns remain but we believe there’s still room for dialogue and a change of course.

Six million. Six million women and men deported by the USSR. Lives and peoples shattered. They are not the only victims of the atrocities committed by the communist regime. To ensure they are not forgotten, we spoke the names of some of them with their families by our side.

Six millions. Six millions de femmes et d’hommes déportés par l’URSS. Des vies et des peuples brisés. Ils ne sont pas les seules victimes des atrocités du régime communiste. Pour ne pas oublier, nous avons prononcé les noms d’une partie d’entre eux, aux côtés de leur famille.
