Great to hear from Danish trade unions who have been pioneering the green transition since the beginning!

A just transition is possible only if workers are on board and listened to.

🇷🇴 Congratulations to Nicușor Dan on his election as President of Romania!

This is a win for the European project & a defeat for the far-right populist movement.

The voters showed that they want to protect their future, defend democracy & keep Romania at the heart of Europe.

🏳️‍🌈 From Brussels to Budapest, with love.

🪧 Pride has always been a protest. Yet the Hungarian government is trying to take away this right.

📢 This is our message to all of the queer people in Hungary: we stand with you.
We will march with you on 28 June.

🏳️‍🌈 Fière d’accueillir à la Brussels Pride le maire écologiste de Budapest.

Il a fait de sa ville une île de liberté et de résistance à Orbán 🇭🇺, qui s’attaque frontalement aux droits des personnes LGBTQIA+. Son combat rappelle qu’ils ne sont jamais acquis, et qu’ils doivent être protégés partout.
Good news: Green mayor of Budapest Karácsony joins Brussels Pride

It was an honour to welcome the Serbian students who ran from Novi Sad to Brussels to make their voices heard.

They are demanding justice for the 16 lives lost & an end to government corruption.

@vulatsetsi.bsky.social , @benedettademarte.bsky.social & the European Greens stand proudly with them.

🇪🇺 The European project was, and still is, the greatest antidote to nationalism and tyranny that our continent ever created.
Never have we needed it more.

Now, it is our turn to resist and take this peace project further. Stronger, greener, more united and more democratic.
For Europe Day, let's build a Europe we want. A set of 12 emojis, representing the European flag stars on a blue background. The emojis are a dove, a rainbow, a farmer, a recycling icon, a wolf, a gay couple, a sunflower, a train, a leefy green, the sun, an artist, a cyclist. Inside the twelve stars of the European flag, the text says: For a stronger, greener, more united and more democratic europe.

🇪🇺💚 A Green call for a democratic, united & federal Europe: read our joint statement with representatives from many Green parties from around Europe.

👉 europeangreens.eu/news/europe-...
80 years ago, Europe rose from the ashes of fascism and war to forge a new path: a union built on peace, democracy, and solidarity. The European project was, and still is, the antidote to nationalism and tyranny. It is our greatest achievement. Today, it is under attack. As World War II ended, for much of Europe this was a new beginning. In Central and Eastern Europe and the Baltics, the horrors of the war and the Holocaust were followed by a new totalitarianism. Several more decades were needed for Europe to be reunited as a free and democratic family. Authoritarian powers and their allies want to dismantle this project. Putin fears a united Europe that stands for freedom, defends itself and supports Ukraine. Netanyahu and Erdoğan fear a Europe that upholds human rights and international law. Trump fears a Europe that leads the green transition, regulates tech monopolies and protects the welfare state. Within our borders, autocrats like Orbán call themselves patriots but their loyalties lie not with their people but with oligarchs at home and autocrats abroad. They fear Europe because it shows that democracy, equality, and the green transition works. That a different world is possible. This is a defining moment. Europe must choose between retreat into fragmentation or moving forward together. The road some Conservatives are taking, as they thoughtlessly cut and scrap social and environmental progress, is a dead end. Europe’s social model is its greatest strength, protecting citizens, public services, and prosperity. It is the foundation of our peace. During the pandemic and the energy crisis, the EU worked together to answer difficult times. Prosperity is also about security. Security in your work and your home. In clean air, affordable energy bills, and public services there when you need them. Freedom from fossil fuels sourced from authoritarian regimes. This is the promise of a Green Europe. The Single Market remains our most powerful tool, but Trump’s… We, the European Greens, call for a fundamental step forward to a more united, democratic, and federal Europe, starting from: A fiscal union to tackle inequality, fund green public services, and ensure a just transition A real industrial and energy strategy, grounded in the Green Deal, to make breaking free from fossil fuels and protecting nature an opportunity for communities and businesses An end to veto politics, to isolate those who undermine fundamental rights and the rule of law so that Europe can speak and act as one A common European response to defence and security challenges, protecting citizens through shared capabilities and cooperation, not duplication, and building peace A credible enlargement process, and stronger ties with those who share European aspirations This is about more than institutions, it is about people. For young Europeans, this is your future. A just transition means jobs with purpose, a home you can afford, and a planet you can live on. For working families, the European social model is not a cost but a lifeline. Universal healthcare and education, fair wages, and green mobility are not luxuries but your right. For everyone, Europe must become the engine of fundamental rights, upholding and protecting our freedom to live life as we choose without fear of discrimination. Because a more democratic, united and federal Europe will be a stronger one. Less divided and more prepared to remain open, not only to new members but the wider world. We must not view migration and solidarity beyond borders as threats to our identity but as essential to what we stand for. When painful conflicts rage globally, in Palestine as in Congo, Myanmar, Sudan and Ukraine, European unity is all the more urgent. This May, as Poland, Portugal and Romania go to the polls, let’s remember what Europe is for. Let’s remember the Europe we strive for, even against the odds. In the face of the dark clouds—Putin’s war, Trump’s chaos, disinformation, nationali…

🇮🇹 Today we celebrate Liberation Day in Italy.
We celebrate the anniversary of the liberation from Nazi occupation and fascism 80 years ago.

⚠️ We must remember what we fought so hard for, to prevent it from happening again.

May we never forget.
Never again.
