Selective justice & political interference are unacceptable. Civil society & independent observers have warned of institutional capture in 🇧🇬 @Sophie_Wilmes @fabienne_keller & @NikolaMinchev_ will initiate a fact-finding mission to ensure EU standards & rule of law are upheld

6 mois de Présidence #Trump. 6 mois de chaos #TrumpTariffs. On a besoin d’un accord avec les États-Unis. Suffisant pour éviter d’autres revirements spectaculaires? J’en doute. Il est donc urgent d’avancer sur nos propres réformes socio-économiques. #EuropeanParliament

The @EPPGroup has just de facto accepted the far right’s leadership (!) on #climate. A mistake. I’m the first to call for more pragmatism. But I won’t trade one dogma for another. One that’s anti-science, rooted in denial. Balance and rebalancing must be found at the center.

The pressure on the rule of law throughout the EU is immense. We want to streamline EU defence of the rule of law, from clear analysis of Member States to regular moments of scrutiny, recommendations and actions when and where needed. @Sophie_Wilmes 👇 reneweuropegroup.eu/policies/2025-…

14 men and women from all over the world. They are the 2025 #Sakharov Fellows, standing up for #humanrights. We support them in their respective fights for greater freedom. As the person in charge of the Sakharov Community, I was glad to welcome them to the @Europarl_EN 🇪🇺

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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_officiel @RenewEurope

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. @RenewEurope @ALDEParty

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_Wilmes, who shared her journey and motivated these young talents!
