Great to have Sweden 🇸🇪 among enthusiasts of European #DefenceReadiness 🇪🇺 With Defence Minister Pål Jonson: how to #ReArm our armies faster through #SAFE, #EDPCI’s & joint procurement, to ensure that our support to Ukraine 🇺🇦 leads to a sustainable peace.

No one argues: 🇸🇪 is serious about security and defence. With Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson about many short & long term security issues: EDPCIs, joint procurement in #defence, support for 🇺🇦, 🇪🇺 pillar of #NATO, 🇪🇺 space independence, true #EuropeanDefenceUnion, 🇪🇺Security Council & more.

What a shameless display this is. She is itching to sell her country and sacrifice the Venezuelans on the altar of big capital. I stand by it: the only rightful winner would have been Francesca Albanese. And how unfortunate that you apparently can no longer accept a Nobel Prize! 😡

Portugal has much to offer when it comes to strengthening European defence and space! 🇪🇺🤝🇵🇹 Video impressions from an intensive mission to Porto and Lisbon this week ⬇️

🇸🇪National Annual Conference #FolkochForsvar counts its 80 years. A great honour to meet His Majesty The King Carl XVI Gustaf (who attends the Conference since 1976) and HRH The Crown Princess Victoria and exchange views on security of 🇸🇪 and 🇪🇺

Glad to meet again President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi in Cairo, after the successful first EU–Egypt summit in October. Egypt is, and will remain, a strategic partner for the EU, with a prominent role in regional security and stability. (1/2)

The EU–Mercosur agreement is a major boost for free trade, helps diversify our economic ties and reduces dangerous dependencies. In an shock-prone world, it sends a clear signal of Europe’s commitment to strong, reliable partnerships, based on shared values and principles. (1/2)

The Iranian people are fighting for their future. By ignoring their rightful demands, the regime shows its true colours. Images from Tehran reveal a disproportionate and heavy-handed response by the security forces. (1/2)

The visit of Macinka and Turk to Kyiv would be commendable if it were even remotely related to Ukraine. Unfortunately, however, it is merely domestic politics. Motorists want to distinguish themselves from the SPD, and Turk wants to “sweep” the claim to the ministry. Ukrainians fight for us for a free world; exploiting them for their own wars is repulsive.

In the European Parliament, I took on the role of the main negotiator for the Greens in the Committee on Regional Development for the new mega fund for economic, social and territorial cohesion, agriculture, rural areas, fisheries, maritime affairs, prosperity and security, worth almost 900 billion euros.

Putin doesn’t want peace, Russia’s reply to diplomacy is more missiles and destruction. This deadly pattern of recurring major Russian strikes will repeat itself until we help Ukraine break it. (1/3)

Fascism is rising in the USA, but it is also rising among us in the EU. This is an important film. You can sit quietly beside it and watch as everything unfolds, or raise your voice and change the direction. “The worst is not the evil of bad people, but the silence of good people.” – Martin Luther King areena.yle.fi/1-68431538?u...

Thank you very much for the good exchange!

In a rule‑of‑law state, investigation comes first, then judgment. Governor Waltz, for example, has also called for that. The U.S. president, after the killing of an unarmed civilian, immediately blames the victim and constructs an enemy. The United States are waging not a political, but a civilizational battle.

The UNFCCC underpins global climate action. It brings countries together to support climate action, reduce emissions, adapt to climate change, and track progress. The decision by the world’s largest economy and second-largest emitter to retreat from it is regrettable and unfortunate.

The municipal initiative continues. Okamura, by spitting on Ukrainians and slapping Putin, could not achieve anything politically – in fact, according to statistics he further roused the public to record‑breaking donations in support of Ukraine. There is no stronger weapon against propaganda than an active civil society.

Farmers spoke. We listened. Today we brought 🇪🇺 Ministers together to take stock and reflect on the way forward for CAP funding, reciprocity on imports & easing the burden of costs and rules on farmers. Turning farmers’ concerns into political action for Europe’s food security.
