Europe has a fifth column in its ranks. I call them the cheerleaders of Putin who want to destroy Europe from within: Farage, Le Pen, Wilders. Together with government leaders like Orbàn, Kaczynski or Salvini these people have one goal and that is to undermine Europe, to kill our liberal democracy. #EUFightBack

Putin's cheerleaders

UK foreign secretary Jeremy Hunt two days ago compared the EU to the Soviet Union, which is for him quite normal as in the past he even confused Japan with China. He should apologise for insulting millions of ordinary Europeans who suffered under Soviet rule!

Jeremy Hunt should apologise

The way forward on asylum and migration is to break the deadlock in the EU Council.Take all EU leaders, shut them in a meeting room in the Council building in Brussels during the holidays or on a disembarkment platform until they have a real deal. Otherwise we'll never solve this crisis!

We are living a political crisis on the back of migrants

On Brexit, we will never accept discrimination based on skills and nationality. We will never accept an extension on article 50. Enough mess has been created by Brexit. Let's stop it! We will never undermine the principles of our Union to rescue the Tory party 🇪🇺 🇬🇧

🇬🇷 🇪🇺 The reality on the ground - in spite of the enormous sacrifices made by Greek citizens - is that the Greek system is still largely in place. Just like the old system of the eurozone. To prevent a crisis in any member state - be it Greece or Italy - we need to reform the Eurozone #FutureofEurope

Future of Greece and Europe

The European Commission we need in the future will be a new type of European government that realizes the legacy of Jean-Claude Juncker and the vision of President Macron. We will offer an alternative to nationalists and populists in Europe ahead of the next elections #SOTEU #GenerationEurope

The State of the Union

The Mediterranean has become the biggest graveyard in Europe. I will not point my finger to individual countries. Not to Malta, not to Italy, but to all EU Governments. This is a collective responsibility! For already two years, European leaders have failed to agree to reform our common European asylum system. Ultimately we have to bring the Council to Court for “failure to act”

Migration is a collective responsibility

The Baltic states know why we need a stronger Europe: to stand against Putin. After a decade of Russian aggression, we need more than just sanctions. We need to abandon our naivety and build up a united defense capacity. "Speak softly but carry a big stick."

We need a stronger Europe

Romania has two problems: corruption and a secret service out of hand. Both problems need to be tackled. The fight against corruption must be strengthened and the murky power of this new-old Securitate needs to be broken. One does not contradict the other 🇪🇺🇷🇴

Romania in the European Union

Kaczynski abuses the Schengen information system to stop democracy activists. Orbán uses European money to fund propaganda campaigns against the European Parliament. I want a clear answer: will art.7 cases against Poland and Hungary be on the agenda of the next European Council?
