Se puede discutir razonadamente sobre la utilidad, la conveniencia o las funciones de un “relator/coordinador” en las reuniones de los grupos políticos sobre #Cataluña, pero nada justifica que eso sea lo “más grave que ha pasado en #España desde el golpe de Estado de 1981”(1/7)
ni acusar de “alta traición” al Presidente del Gobierno. Son acusaciones muy graves, tipificadas en el Código Penal, que deben sostenerse con los instrumentos jurídicos que existen para ello. Si el Sr. Casado está convencido de lo que dice, el artículo 102 de la Constitución(2/7)
le permite actuar con los diputados que tiene en el @Congreso_Es.
Resultan cansinas las patéticas invocaciones a que el Gobierno "sea valiente", "no le tenga miedo a la derecha" y se "atreva" a reconocer el "derecho de autodeterminación".(3/7)
Son cuestiones que no están amparadas por la Constitucion ni por el derecho internacional. El Presidente del Gobierno @sanchezcastejon lo ha vuelto a recordar y repetir. No pueden hablar en nombre del pueblo catalán, excluyendo de él a más de la mitad(4/7)
de los ciudadanos de Cataluña que no les votaron. Ocurre así con los movimientos independentistas de raíz identitaria. Pretenden basarse en la unidad sagrada del "pueblo", pero acaban en la división y el enfrentamiento social. Los secesionistas tratan de conseguir(5/7)
una mediación internacional que facilite un negociación en pie de igualdad entre el Gobierno de España y el de la #Generalitat. Para ello denigran la calidad de nuestra democracia y nuestro sistema jurídico y representan a España como un Estado represivo que viola los #DDHH.(6/7)
Pero, ciertamente, España no es #YemendelSur, ni #Bosnia ni #Kosovo ni #Eslovenia en sus peores momentos y, ni la #UniónEuropea ni ningún Gobierno del mundo acepta ese falso relato. (7/7)

I addressed the League of Arab State’s ministerial meeting today in Cairo.

The EU has given full support to the efforts of Egypt, Qatar and the US for a ceasefire in Gaza. But the deal still has not been signed.

Those who are waging the war have no interest in putting an end to it.

Intransigence is accompanied by total impunity.

Not only is there no pause in Gaza, but what looms on the horizon is the extension of the conflict to the West Bank.

The post-1945 multilateral order is losing ground: we see more confrontation & polarity, less cooperation & multilateralism.

To tackle the challenges facing us in the 21st century, we need a fair assessment & decisive action.

A pleasure to talk today at @UniofOxford🧵1/10
China has risen to super-power status. Middle powers - India, Brazil, South Africa, KSA - are emerging as important actors on the global stage. As Europe we wanted to built a ring of friends & we are surrounded by a ring of fire, from Sahel to Middle East, Caucasus, Ukraine. 2/10
We see an acceleration of global trends, from climate change to demography. Inequalities growing, democracies declining, freedoms at risk.
What do we need?
- A clear assessment of Europe's main existential threat: Russia.
- A strong focus on principles, cooperation, strength 3/10

On 7 October, the horror of the terrorist attack by Hamas against Israel - with the massacre of 1,200 Israelis and the kidnapping of hundreds - shocked the world and plunged the region into a humanitarian and political tragedy.

Six months later, where do we stand?
🧵1/7
I add my voice to that of UNSG @antonioguterres in expressing the EU’s total condemnation of a brutality that no cause can justify.
 
By this indiscriminate attack, Hamas has totally disqualified itself.

The Palestinian people cannot be represented by this criminal group. 2/7
The Israeli people have our deepest sympathy. Israel has the right to defend itself, in full respect of international humanitarian law.

The EU has constantly asked for the unconditional release of all hostages. 
 
In this tragedy, civilians are paying the highest price.

The Ukrainian army is one of the best in the world. They have proven to be.

Ukraine is resisting, fighting off the Russian aggression, which is trying to cruelly push the country into darkness and cold.

Humbled by the courageous soldiers and their will to defend their people. Image
The EU Military Assistance Mission for Ukraine is proof of our determination to support Ukraine: militarily, financially, economically & politically.

This Mission is unprecedented, pushing EU military cooperation to new levels. Over 20 Member States participate in it. Image
Today, #EUMAM has reached its full initial operational capability.   
1,100 soldiers are already being trained.
The Mission will generate training offers to address Ukrainian needs and we are going to provide resources: €16 million for lethal equipment for training purposes. Image

In 1975 our predecessors signed the Helsinki Final Act, agreeing on a core set of principles: renouncing the use of force, respect for sovereignty, territorial integrity and protecting human rights and freedoms.

Today, Russia is violating all these @OSCE commitments.
Russia has brought war back to Europe. It is throwing Ukraine into cold & darkness, and beyond its brutal attack on Ukraine and it’s people continues its deeply destabilising role in Georgia’s breakaway regions and Transnistrian region of Moldova. We need to be united against it.
The @OSCE institutions and operations continue their efforts to bring stability in this grim environment. The EU will continue its steadfast support to the organisation.

We will provide €1.2 million for OSCE demining activities in Ukraine.

Thanks to @PLinOSCE for their work.

Many ask whether the sanctions adopted by the EU and like-minded partners against Russia are effective.

Read my new blog post to know why the clear answer is yes: (1/5)
europa.eu/!PPQkkQ
Since Russia invaded Ukraine, the EU has adopted six packages of sanctions. Our measures target nearly 1,200 individuals and almost 100 entities in Russia and a significant number of economic sectors. (2/5)
Sanctions hit substantially the Russian economy depriving it from access to financial markets and to advanced technology products, crippling the oil industry, the airlines, the military and automotive industries. (3/5)
