La Commission européenne serait bien avisée de s’en tenir à ses compétences et d’éviter des déclarations inutiles sur des sujets qu’elle ne maîtrise pas. Ce ton de maître d’école ajoute au ridicule.
L'Union européenne appelle la France à "protéger" le droit à manifester pacifiquement et dénonce les pillages "inacceptables", déclare Markus Lammert, porte-parole de la Commission européenne #BFM2

Madame Le Pen, on vous savait alignée depuis longtemps sur les intérêts du Kremlin mais votre dernière déclaration est une trahison. Dire que la France cessera d’aider l’Ukraine à la fin de l’année 2027, c’est l’affaiblir davantage au moment où - plus que jamais - nous devons serrer les rangs autour d’elle. Nos valeurs ne se défendent pas de manière temporaire, pas plus que notre sécurité collective qui, pour une part, se joue à l’Est de l’Europe. La France ne se désengage pas, elle se bat pour la défense de ses principes et de ses intérêts. La France, libre et souveraine, ne prend ses ordres ni à Moscou ni ailleurs !
La France est au bord du défaut : nous n’avons plus les moyens d’aider financièrement l’Ukraine. Peut-être que d’autres pays de l’Union européenne, qui ne sont pas dans la situation financière de la France, pourront prendre le relais.

The biggest issues in front of the EU leaders today are the MFF and enlargement. Neither is going to be solved without treaty reform to modify Article 48(7) TEU and scrap Article 353 TFEU. #EUCO @eucopresident @vonderleyen rapporteur.com/opinion/facin…

Better get this in place before the French presidential elections, don't you think?
Under a new ‘institutional safeguard’, the EU could suspend a new member’s voting rights in the Council of the EU, following particularly serious cases involving breaches of EU values or violations of the principle of “sincere cooperation” rapporteur.com/news/kos-eu-t…

PM @andyburnham is right: Brexit has done more harm than good. His call for a new course deserves a serious European response. Let’s turn that opening into concrete choices for a closer EU–UK partnership to give citizens & businesses a more prosperous, secure future 🇪🇺🇬🇧

Burnham has done well. I've been arguing for years that the UK should have a serious enquiry into all its EU options. And PR is a prerequisite for rejoining the EU in all cases. @LibDems @UKLabour newstatesman.com/politics/br…

It must be very good by now.
🚨The long awaited announcement on enlargement from the European Commission has been delayed another 6 days, and will now come on 6/10 in Strasbourg.

A breakthrough in European defence is ripe to become a reality. And it starts with the establishment of a European Security Council and the development of a genuine European Defence Union. My take on #SOTEU on European defence ⬇️ andriuskubilius.lt/en/breakt…

🇪🇺🇦🇹 Austria's President Van der Bellen: It's time for Treaty reform and to move toward an integrated, more federal Europe. A united Europe is the best idea we've ever had. Russia is a dwarf pretending to be a giant
