This morning, Europe woke up in grief and disbelief after yesterday’s horrific attack in Krakow. Our flags fly at half-mast in honour of the victims and the brave first responders. They stand for European unity and solidarity. Stronger than hatred. Stronger than extremism.
The White House wants not just to influence European politics, but to reshape coalitions. So while ostensibly promoting European rearmament and European defense cooperation, they also promote politicians who oppose rearmament or defense cooperation. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

There is no democracy without press freedom. On International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists, and beyond, we stand by all those who speak truth to power.
In Poland, Romania and Germany, the Trump administration is openly supporting pro-Russian and anti-EU parties, some opposed to defense spending. It's as if they wanted to destroy European security www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...
The U.S. Is Bullying Europe Like Never Before

The EU’s relations with Canada are entering a new era. At the Montreal Summit, we’ll deepen ties on security and defence, trade, critical raw materials, digital – and bring our people closer together. As global tensions rise, having friends you can count on makes a difference.
Europe is warming at double the global rate. To become truly climate resilient, we need to adjust and learn along the way.
Today, the people of Serbia turned out in record numbers to shape their country’s future. Congratulations to the Student List on its victory in the parliamentary elections.
In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

Honoured to attend the commemorations of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution in Budapest. 70 years ago, Hungarians rose up against oppression. They fought for freedom, democracy and justice. The very values at the heart of Europe today. Their courage lives on.
EU Member States are serious about protecting the International Criminal Court and a world governed by international law. In The Hague, I met ICC President Tomoko Akane to convey the EU’s strong support for the Court, its judges, and their work.
We are opening more doors for the next generation. Proud that today, @europarl.europa.eu voted to strengthen Erasmus+, making it more accessible and increasing its funding. So more young Europeans can broaden horizons, discover new paths and gain the skills they need to succeed in their careers.
I welcome the Sakharov Prize awarded to the International Criminal Court. For victims of the world's gravest crimes, justice means a voice.

The slithering back to even vaguely positive or optimistic analyses of Trump’s second term after the abominations of January 6th cleared the way for today’s abject betrayal of the Ukrainian people. It’s astonishing how many public figures on both sides of the Atlantic are complicit in the crime.
How can you spot a sustainable product you can trust? Look for the EU Ecolabel! From detergents and textiles to furniture and hotel stays, it helps you find products and services that do a great job while meeting strict environmental criteria.
With the KIDS Act, we are putting parents back in the driving seat. And the burden of proving safety, on the platforms. Because the question is not whether kids should have access to social media. The question is whether social media platforms should have access to our children.

20 years since Anna Politkovskaya was murdered. A fearless journalist who refused to look away, even when facing threats and attempts on her life. She refused to be silenced, continuing to speak out against corruption and abuse.
