«#Project2025 is a radical #US #conservative #agenda — but what if its ideas are coming to #Europe? This video dives into “#TheGreatReset,” a real #EU-focused plan backed by #Orbán allies. It aims to weaken #Brussels, kill #EUcourts, and put #power back in #national hands. We explore the origins, the goals, and why it’s more than just a theory.

Today, we ordered TikTok to freeze and preserve all data and evidence linked to the Romanian elections.
This follows recent declassified information pointing to foreign interference from Russia.
We are also intensifying contacts with digital and cyber regulators across Europe in light of emerging evidence of systematic inauthentic activity.
A key step to enforce the Digital Services Act.

Boosting our solidarity for Slovenia and Greece after the last year’s climate disasters.
This week, we paid:
🇸🇮 €328 million to help recover from the devastating floods in 2023;
🇬🇷 €76 million to help reconstruction efforts after last year’s cyclone.
In total, the two countries have received €529 million from the EU Solidarity Fund to tackle these climate challenges.
Here to coordinate help on day one and help reconstruct for the long term.
Sent my feedback on public initiative for European commission and open source. Placed my name - I am proud and active on what I'm doing, talked as a blind european citizen.
Every european relying on accessibility should talk now.

❄️ Losing your passport doesn't have to snowball into a disaster!
Be prepared for the unexpected by remembering these simple steps:
🔹 Report the loss or theft to the local police
🔹 Reach out to your country's embassy for a replacement
🔹 If your country doesn't have an embassy in the country where you are, seek help from another EU country
❕ Quick tip: Keep copies of important documents and store them separately.
Rest assured, the EU stands by you with #ConsularProtection.
It's a striking image, two female leaders - Mexico's Claudia Sheinbaum and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen - holding the signed trade deal side by side.
Whatever your politics, it's historically notable and visually powerful.
🇪🇺🇵🇸 To all citizens of the European Union!
There is a citizen initiative currently collecting signatures which demands sanctions on Israel.
Why should you sign it?
- Israel occupies the internationally recognised territory of Syria and Lebanon.
- Israel occupies and actively colonizes territories of the State of Palestine maintaining a system similar to apartheid.
- Gaza genocide
- Promotion of Zionism
- Middle East destabilisation
