With Interior Minister Sándor Pintér, I discussed internal security and the EU’s migration priorities, such as the returns regulation, and our response to hybrid threats.

Today, I am in Budapest, where I participated in a Sukkot celebration with Andor Grósz, the President of the Federation of Hungarian Jewish communities. Together we paid tribute to the victims of the Holocaust.

The divide is not between Jews and other religions – it is between democrats and extremists. Between those who share our democratic values, regardless of their nationality, ethnic origin or religion; and those who want to undermine democracy by resorting to extremism.

We live in an open and free society, where Jewish life deserves not only to be protected but to be allowed to flourish in all its diversity.

Jewish Europeans are being held responsible for the actions of the government of Israel. This is unacceptable.

There is nothing wrong with criticising the actions of any government, but there is everything wrong with blaming Jews here in Europe for the actions of the government of Israel.

No speech, and no words of condolences can ever take away the pain of the Hamas attacks on October 7, two years ago today, and of the many violent crimes that have happened since then.

Manchester, Boulder, Washington D.C. We will never forget the courageous souls that were taken from us.

I am grateful for the good conversation on the future of European migration and asylum policies.

We also discussed the importance of ensuring security of Jewish communities in Europe. We must work together so that Jewish life can thrive in Europe. Now more than ever.

With the new rules, we are implementing a quicker and more flexible visa suspension mechanism that is better suited for current times.

Visa-free policy is a matter of trust. In my speech at the plenary session in the European Parliament today, I will address the Visa Suspension Mechanism.

Wir müssen den Menschen die Sicherheit geben, dass die Kontrolle der Migration bei den Mitgliedstaaten liegt, nicht bei den Schleppern. Die Umsetzung des GEAS ist ein wichtiger Schritt in diese Richtung.

Ich bin dankbar für die Einladung und den inspirierenden Austausch.

Wir haben darüber diskutiert, welche Rolle Migration und Asyl in unserer Gesellschaft spielen, und wie wir unserer gemeinsamen Verantwortung zur Schaffung von Rechtssicherheit, Verhinderung von Rechtsmissbrauch und Wahrung demokratischer Grundsätze gerecht werden können.

As the only Synagogue in Munich that survived the Nazi era, it is a symbol of Jewish life that was tragically upended, but also of Jewish life today. We are determined to foster Jewish life and ensure that places of worship are protected across the EU.

Today I stand in solidarity with the victims, their loved ones and the Jewish community as a whole.

And I will continue to work to improve the security of our fellow Jewish citizens.

I strongly condemn the attack on the Manchester Synagogue on the holiest day for Jewish communites, Yom Kippur.

Such atrocious acts of hate have no place in our societies and must be condemned in the strongest possible terms.

Today I was invited to open Europol’s Cybercrime Annual Conference.

Cybercrime knows no borders - criminals exploit encryption & new tech, while data becomes a key battleground.

We must mainstream security across EU policy, strengthen Europol’s mandate & ensure lawful access to data.

Ein vereintes Europa ist ein starkes Europa, das gerade in Zeiten globaler Krisen seine volle Bedeutung zeigt. Trotz Konflikten, Pandemie und wirtschaftlicher Belastungen hat die EU immer wieder bewiesen, dass sie sich erneuern und gestärkt aus Krisen hervorgehen kann.

Die Geschichte zeigt: wenn Europa gespalten ist, verlieren wir. Wenn wir vereint sind, gewinnen wir – an Stärke, Hoffnung und Energie.

The European Commission relies on their expertise and we will continue to work closely together to strengthen protection and support for the most vulnerable.
