This afternoon our building that represents European democracy in Sofia has been targeted and vandalised.

Disgraceful. Unacceptable.

We are the first to defend the right to peaceful protests & demonstrations in Europe. But that should never translate to violence & aggression.

When three years ago, the people of Ukraine woke up to the grim reality of war, we promised them our unwavering support.

We kept our word.

Because that’s what friends do.

Because this is not only about Ukraine.

This is about democracy, Europe and everything we stand for.

The ICC guarantees accountability for international crimes and gives a voice to victims worldwide.

It must be able to freely pursue the fight against global impunity.

Europe will always stand for justice and the respect of international law.

Sanctioning the ICC threatens the Court’s independence and undermines the international criminal justice system as a whole.
Today I met with Judge Tomoko Akane, president of the International Criminal Court.

The ICC plays an essential role in delivering justice to the victims of some of the world’s most horrific crimes.

Independence and impartiality are crucial characteristics of the Court’s work.

Honoured that the Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Ruslan Stefanchuk accepted my invitation to speak to Europe and the world from @europarl.europa.eu in Strasbourg next Tuesday, three years from Russia's invasion.

The announcement of a ceasefire in Gaza and an agreement to release hostages is the breakthrough the world has waited and that so many have needed. 

It is critical that it is upheld. This can be a turning point for a sustainable peace, a surge of aid, and a catalyst that changes despair to hope.

As someone who grew up on an island in the Mediterranean, I’m no stranger to blue skies.

But this Blue Sky is different 😃. Here, I’m new.

So as I do my first post, I look forward to connect, interact & continue to advance democracy. This is what we do at the European Parliament.

Watch this space.
