Politics is, at heart, emotional psychology.

Conservatives seek order to protect freedom.
Liberals seek rights to express it.
The left seeks security to share it.

Three paths toward the same human need —
to live free and safe, without losing ourselves or each other.

If European dream is possible thanks to Ryanair or WizzAir and not thanks to for example DB then we have a problem.

Digital Euro is welcome.

In 20 years, it will be what we all use.
The Council has just adopted its position on the #DigitalEuro initiative. The final text will now be negotiated with the @europarl.europa.eu.

Peace is not cheap. It is priceless.

Since the start of Russia’s aggression, the people of Ukraine have been paying the ultimate price for their freedom. Europe remains resolute in supporting them for as long as it takes.

Dear President Zelenskyy, welcome back to the #EUCO.

Russia’s shadow fleet remains its cash lifeline.
We are cutting it.

Today we sanctioned several individuals linked to Rosneft and Lukoil, as well as 40 additional vessels.

We will also sanction shadow fleet vessels on a rolling basis, with decisions every month.
