She calls for forces of the democratic center to work together.

What a strong statement.

Pleased to announce the launch of my official Bluesky account as EC Chief Spokesperson!

This will be another go-to space for important updates from the Spokesperson service.

Because communicating the EU to citizens requires diversification of channels and platforms!
