The Children’s Gulag. How a Canadian-funded project is mapping Russia’s network of camps where abducted Ukrainian children are being held - and helping to bring some of them home. My report theglobeandmail.com/world/article-…
Viktor Orbán is a traitor to Europe, to Ukraine, to democracy. His agents were caught spying in Ukraine to prep for a possible invasion. And yet he still sits at the EU Council table, shaping our decisions. How much longer will our leaders enable this?
Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) has uncovered a Hungarian military intelligence network spying in western Ukraine — the first such case in the country’s history. The agents gathered data on Zakarpattia’s military defenses, looked for vulnerabilities, and analyzed how locals…
Orban's cronies in the EP are peddling MCC disinformation to intimidate & silence pro-democracy voices, critical of authoritarian leaders. We understand why they are against those that defend democracy, the rule of law & our rights. We just wish they'd get their figures right.
Did you know? Ultraliberal Guy Verhofstadt runs an NGO called European Movement International. They received €15 million(!) from EU institutions. They call it civil society. We call it a political activist group without any democratic legitimacy stuffed with taxpayers' money.
As the @Europarl debates the situation in Gaza, it is time to move from words to actions. The EU and its Member States must use all means in their disposal to stop the gross and intolerable violation of fundamental human rights & international law in Gaza. Read our statement 👇
This week, 🇪🇺President @VonDerLeyen called for a new "Pax Europaea" in which Europe declares independence. But her bold words obscure a sad truth: she is following, not leading, in Europe's sovereignty struggle. And she is driven by fear. My take: davekeating.substack.com/p/despite-her-…
“Today, it’s clear that social media and its underlying algorithms are undermining our democracies from within and being exploited from the outside. Recognising this is the first step; acting on it must come next.” - @guyverhofstadt
Orbán’s new law brands critics and NGOs as “foreign agents,” straight out of his friend Putin’s handbook. This isn’t about transparency, it’s about fear, control, and crushing dissent. Hungary is turning into a one-party state and the EU’s still writing the cheques. EU…
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz party has proposed a Russia-style crackdown on Hungary’s civil society. ow.ly/N8GK50VSiUE
Trump was willing to talk peace. Zelenskyy was willing to talk peace. Putin isn't even brave enough to turn up. Murderous Russia doesn't want peace. Finally, there must be consequences.

Nicușor Dan represents a Romania that looks forward. He brings integrity, competence and a clear vision for the future. In the face of noise and nationalism, Dan offers clarity, reform and unity. The energy in Bucharest shows it. Romania is ready to rise, and with Dan, it has…
Last night, thousands of Romanians gathered in the symbolic Victory square in Bucharest, Romania, for a pro-European rally ahead of the Presidential election next Sunday. Against the backdrop of Ode to Joy, independent presidential candidate @NicusorDanRO spoke about Romania’s…
Zero consequences from US on Russia, for their refusal to agree a ceasefire. Trump is Europe's ally in the mind of a hopeful few. Until Putin feels real pressure, from a grown up Europe to stop his killing..a just peace will be distant!
Ode to Joy fills the Grand-Place, a moving tribute to peace, unity, and the shared future we’re building together. 🇪🇺
The shallow US - UK "deal" shows one thing. Trump & the Brexit eilte want to deepen the wedge between EU & UK. Trade between 🇬🇧🇪🇺 isn't growing at all! The EU - UK Summit is the chance to correct the ludicrous economic damage of Trump & Farage's Brexit. Boldness is required!
80 years ago, World War 2 came to an end. This marked the beginning of something new. A shared commitment to peace, cooperation and unity that gave rise to the European project. This Europe Day, we gather in the heart of Brussels to honour that legacy and to stand together for…
Join the @EMInternational at 9 May at the Grand-Place for an evening of debates and music as we celebrate Europe Day! 🇪🇺 A moment to come together for peace, democracy and unity. europeanmovement.eu/event-list/eur…
