You can disqualify the athlete, but it won’t change the truth about Russia’s war.

Russia has killed many Ukrainian athletes. Ukraine's skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych honoured them, reminding the world of Putin’s atrocities.

Sport cannot be separated from the reality of a war.

Mr. Sánchez,

granting amnesty to half a million irregular migrants is a direct challenge to the Schengen Area. It's irresponsible!

Don’t put Europe at risk with your unilateral political move.

There is no time to lose.

The EPP Group calls on the European Parliament to urgently approve the €90 billion loan for Ukraine.

The time to act decisively is now.

Anything less would be a failure of responsibility that Europe cannot afford.

🇪🇺 Big win for European businesses.

From now on, if an EU law creates costs for businesses, twice that amount must be cut elsewhere.

The goal is clear:
🔵Less paperwork
🔵Lower costs

That’s how Europe stays competitive and grows.

State-sponsored mass violence in Iran must end.
The European Union must significantly increase pressure on the regime.

We welcome the decision of EU foreign ministers to designate Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organisation.

We stand with the Iranian people.
