The 🇪🇺🇺🇸 can thrive only when there is a strong transatlantic bond.

Today, the #EUUSsummit is the first in-person meeting since 2017.

Both Allies must prove they are the driving force in fighting climate change, confronting autocracies and ensuring fair international trade.

US President Joe Biden is a reliable ally of Europe.
We do not have to agree on everything but we can do many things together:

✅strengthen democracies;
✅fight tax evasion;
✅ show a united front towards Russia and China.

#EUUSsummit
“We can only win by working together. Jointly, we must strengthen our democracies, including through sensible regulation of social media, to complete the deal to eliminate tax havens and to develop a common position on China,” says our MEP @sikorskiradek.
We have a unique opportunity to work with the US as the world is recovering from the pandemic.

Overcoming the crisis, ensuring that vaccines are available everywhere, as fast as possible, and strengthening international security should be our priorities.

#EUUSsummit
We expect that the meeting between President Biden and the leadership of the European Union will bring new impetus to EU-US relations and will forge an alliance for the defence of democracy.

Europe has been a safe harbour for critics of autocrats from all over the world. They know that if they were back home they would have been arrested, beaten or tortured for speaking out against the regime, but in the EU they are safe.

#Lisbon proved this was wrong.

Read🧵⤵️ Image
Instead of protecting activists, #Lisbon's municipality served the Kremlin its opponents' on a silver platter.

As required by the law, demonstration organisers who spoke against the arrest of @navalny submitted their names, ID numbers and addresses to the city hall.
They did not know that the municipal authorities, whose head is Mayor of Lisbon, Fernando #Medina (Socialist Party), sent this data to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 😬

Today we welcome Greek Prime Minister @kmitsotakis to our Group meeting. We will not accept that #Turkey is pursuing an expansionist policy, destabilising the entire region. We firmly stand with #Greece and #Cyprus in defending their borders and territorial waters. #EastMed
Our reaction must be given on two levels:
1⃣#EUCO to define the conditions under which we could trigger new economic sanctions. If the provocations continue, #Erdogan must be hit where it hurts most - in his wallet. #EastMed
2⃣It is time to fundamentally rethink our ties with #Turkey. We must end the membership process and rethink a new relationship based on the idea of ​​partnership, in which we are not held hostage. #EastMed
