Kicking off the @munsecconf.bsky.social at the Munich Young Forum, discussing the future of EU security with the next generation of leaders.

Make Europe strong: Use its enormous industrial power. Invest strategically and together in defense. Work closely with NATO and worldwide partners. This is how we create security for Europe ↓ link.europa.eu/h4rRnk

The world has entered an era of demolition‑ball policy: instead of careful reforms and fine‑tuning of policies, today the agenda is widespread destruction. This is how sharply the chief speaks in the opening report. The Munich Security Conference, which starts today, is underway. Follow me! securityconference.org/en/msc-2026/...

We have been trying to drive Europe’s economy forward with the handbrake on. The @ec.europa.eu's #simplification agenda is our chance to correct course, release the handbrake, and unleash Europe’s full productive potential. Read my op-ed ▶️ link.europa.eu/vdt6XB

🇪🇺🇮🇪Good to see you again, dear Dara Calleary, this time at #EPSCO in Nicosia. We focused on coordination of social security regulation, anti-poverty strategy and reinforcing child guarantee. Now, more than ever, our social policies need to maintain a strong child focus in this complex landscape.

Europeans leave no doubt that #EUDefence & #EUSpace matter 🇪🇺 📊 The new #Eurobarometer shows strong expectations:  🔹 Perceptions of security threats  🔹 High trust among young people  🔹 Calls for investment  🛡️This sends a clear message: we must deliver.

We are living through a time of upheaval. So the Munich Security Conference has never been more relevant. 2025 was the year old certainties fell away. 2026 is the year we confront reality. I’m here to talk about Europe’s independence moment.

Climate change, the huge challenge of our generation.

A European Defence Union is not to replace NATO, but to support NATO in Europe. And to make Europe ready to take responsibility on European defence. NATO provides military might. The EU provides production power, European Defence Union builds European pillar of NATO.

At the next European Council, I will come with a ‘One Europe, One Market’ roadmap, across these five blocks. With concrete targets, with precise timelines. And with very concrete proposals that we can deliver on, and fast, in 2026.

2026 is the year we shift gear. Across 5 blocks of work. 1) Simplification 2) One single market 3) Lower energy prices 4) AI-driven transformation 5) Strong Trade The direction of travel is clear ↓ link.europa.eu/8gwDKj

Tax the Rich – Save the Climate We cannot stop the climate crisis as long as the super‑rich live with their untaxed wealth as if there were no tomorrow. Today I protest at the Vienna Opera Ball 👇
