At #DelphiEconomicForum, I spoke with CNN Greece about Europe’s energy challenges and the lessons of recent crisis. Sharing here some thoughts on why accelerating clean, home-grown energy is the best way to protect our citizens and strengthen our economy.👇 www.cnn.gr/oikonomia/an...

Spain is becoming the global benchmark in the defense of international law and multilateralism. In the face of war and chaos, socialist foreign policy will always bet on peace, democracy, and human rights. Thank you very much to my fellow members of PSOE Latina for the invitation. 🌹

At the Kyiv Security Forum I reminded that debates about whether we will spend 2% on tanks or 3% on drones are pointless if we don't pay attention to who will decide on their use. Russia is massively investing in information warfare and is winning it. What will drones be used for if they are controlled by the Russian fifth column?

Eastern Flank security and resilience - not only finances and defence, but also energy, transport&other sectors. Wrapping up my visit in Lithuania 🇱🇹-discussion with Minister of Finance Vaitiekūnas on strengthening 🇪🇺 Eastern Flank through regional cooperation. #EasternFlankTalks

Our security is not just related. It is intrinsically linked. Today we tell the world: we’re not just partners in managing crises. We’re partners for the future. My statement to the press with Middle East partners → link.europa.eu/BMCq3B

Great mood today with 100 students in Graz and the surrounding area. I had the opportunity to speak about the future of Europe, and together we were able to make European politics more tangible. Thanks also to the state of Styria and Manuela Khom for the organization and for dropping by!

Together with Defence Minister Robertas Kaunas I visited Pabradė training area where 🇱🇹🤝🇺🇸🤝🇩🇪 troops exercise together. Our efforts to strengthen 🇪🇺 defence industrial base also means strengthening European pillar of NATO & EU Eastern Flank. #EUDefence

Since the start of the Middle East conflict, our bill for fossil fuel imports increased by € 25 billion. Without a single molecule more of energy. We need to reduce our overdependency on fossil fuels. Boost clean energy like renewables and nuclear. And electrify Europe.

Today in Cyprus, at the crossroads of continents and cultures, we are reaffirming our firm solidarity with our Middle East partners. Times like these call for stronger partnerships. We will deepen our ties across the board, from defence and security to investments.

Good to catch up with Kostis Hatzidakis at #DelphiEconomicForum. We discussed Greece’s achievements and the challenges ahead — from competitiveness and affordable energy to resilience and delivering a clean and fair transition. Europe moves forward when we build together.

🇬🇷🇪🇺Doubling down on our energy transition and promoting electrification is the best investment we can do. We shouldn’t waste our money! I enjoyed interesting discussions in #DelphiEconomicForum with colleagues and stakeholders.

You don’t need to consult the Oracle of Delphi to know the period ahead will be challenging. At this year’s Delphi Econ Forum, I shared why an unpredictable world makes tackling 🇪🇺 long-standing challenges more urgent than ever. Now is the time to press ahead and build a more competitive Europe.

🇬🇷🇪🇺 Doubling down on our energy transition and promoting electrification is the best investment we can do. We shouldn’t waste our money! I enjoyed interesting discussions in #DelphiEconomicForum with colleagues and stakeholders holders.

Excellent news! The EU makes a huge step forward with important additional support for Ukraine, approved a new anti‑Russia coercion package, and Ukraine’s EU accession negotiations have also begun, now that Orbán’s anchoring period is over.

Threats to EU are real! @EU_Commission opened new instruments to ReArm 🇪🇺 & boost #defence. @EIB is a key partner to boost finances for defence & space. With VP de Groot - this time in 🇱🇹 - discussing more synchronisation of our steps to fund defence & space projects!

We need investment in industry. We need research and talent. But, above all, we need one thing: political decision to advance a real European defense, capable of facing current geopolitical challenges. Thank you very much Eurodefense Joven for your invitation and work!
