As Václav Havel used to say, “We must not be afraid to dream of the seemingly impossible if we want the seemingly impossible to become a reality.” With that in mind, as we step into 2026, I hope for a year that is less stressful (not sure about that), but even more exciting.

🔹 We must stop opposing innovation and regulation! Democratic resilience needs both, and it needs real resources. I shared this message in the hemicycle of the European Parliament 🇪🇺 @Make_org_Global @AssoCivicTechEU @Europarl_EN

🇪🇺 I had the honor to speak today in the EP hemicycle to welcome the European Democracy Shield, especially the Civic Tech Hub and the Center for European Democratic Resilience. To make them effective, we need concrete resources, sustainable support & dedicated public procurement.

🇪🇺 Delighted to join the first EU Parliamentary Democracy Forum in the EP hemicycle, representing civic tech with Make.org & ACTE. @EP_President Roberta Metsola words on innovation & AI shaping society resonated. Crucial talks on citizen engagement, polarisation & resilience.

🛡️🇪🇺Boosting digital democracy: how to create a Democracy Shield that delivers. Glad to be at the European Parliament today for this crucial discussion, one week after the publication of the European Democracy Shield by the European Commission.

Dix ans après, Paris se souvient. Le 13 novembre 2015, les terroristes frappaient Saint-Denis et Paris en plein cœur, sa jeunesse, sa liberté et sa joie de vivre. Ce soir-là, c’est notre humanité tout entière qui vacillait.

Visuel Fluctuat Nec Mergitur, Paris se souvient.

🇬🇷🇪🇺Honored to visit the Hellenic Parliament today, exploring how democracy, debate, and AI intersect to empower innovation and dialogue. Grateful to Prof. Fotios Fitsilis & Katerina-Eirini Lambrinou for the inspiring exchange, where vision meets action in shaping the future!
