Thirty-four years after Capaci, we remember Giovanni Falcone, Francesca Morvillo and the officers murdered by the mafia. The fight against organised crime, corruption and impunity must never stop. youtu.be/kbv90UGbBe8?si…

The election in Malta is a chance for the change the country needs. As President of the EPP, I wish @alexborgmt and the @PNmalta every success. Malta deserves strong leadership, accountability, and a government ready to deliver. We stand with you.

Congratulations to @magyarpeterMP and Tisza on this victory. An underdog campaign that proved change can happen when people decide it is time. A clear signal that momentum builds fast when trust is earned and voices are heard. Looking forward to welcoming him soon in @epp.

Congratulations to Péter Magyar and TISZA Party on historic victory. Hungarians have chosen change and a return to democratic standards, accountability and a European future. Now comes the task of rebuilding institutions, restoring trust, and delivering for the Hungarian people.

French President @EmmanuelMacron and @ManfredWeber, President of the European People's Party, have just called to congratulate us on our victory.

S&D MEP Daniel Attard is not happy EPP secretary general Dolors Montserrat gave a speech in Malta, referring to her as a “foreigner” and as a “Spanish loser”. I’m always amazed at how progressive and tolerant these MEPs are

In my role as Int. Sec. of @PNmalta, I am honoured to welcome @DolorsMM, SecGen of @EPP, and @MDzurinda to #Malta for our National Convention. Their presence underlines PN’s strong European engagement as we shape a credible and responsible electoral manifesto for #Malta’s future

United, determined, decisive — this is the Europe 🇪🇺 people need, a Europe ready for the future. Thank you @AndrejPlenkovic and @HDZ_HR for hosting us in Zagreb for the EPP leaders’ retreat. Important discussions ahead of us, setting the priorities for 2026.

PN in Brussels keeps delivering. 🇲🇹 🇪🇺💪 Congratulations to @DavidCasaMEP on his appointment as Rapporteur for the European Social Fund. This is proof that our delegation is trusted with key roles that put people, jobs, and young people first. @EPPGroup

I spoke to @SecGenNATO, @EmmanuelMacron, @Keir_Starmer, @bundeskanzler and @GiorgiaMeloni. Together we stand firm in our commitment to uphold the sovereignty of Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark. We will always protect our strategic economic and security interests. We will face these challenges to our European solidarity with steadiness and resolve.

The EPP is in favour of the EU–U.S. trade deal, but given Donald Trump’s threats regarding Greenland, approval is not possible at this stage. The 0% tariffs on U.S. products must be put on hold. #EuropeanUnity

The minister for affordable housing and hobnobbing secured a super affordable penthouse from the same developers that were then handed millions in taxpayer money. It stinks to high heaven of corruption. The authorities should do their job and investigate.

Ci ha lasciati “Mamma Erasmus”, colei che più di tutti ha creduto in un grande progetto di integrazione, europeo e mondiale. Sofia Corradi ha ispirato la vita di milioni di ragazzi che hanno viaggiato, studiato e abbracciato culture diverse. A lei si deve la nascita della Generazione Europa. Condoglianze alla sua famiglia. Riposi in pace.

Imagine the humiliation: embassies lay tributes to Daphne, and a taxpayer-funded government employee trashes them. Eight years on, this government has learnt absolutely nothing. Disgraceful. timesofmalta.com/article/watch-…

In the midst of a corruption-fuelled rule of law crisis in #Malta, @MediaFreedomEU reports that the constitutional right to public interest information is still being hindered, not least with publicly funded legal battles to deter journalists. mfrr.eu/freedom-of-inf…

We can now safely predict that the governing party of the Republic of Moldova has secured an absolute majority of seats in today’s Parliamentary election. Moldova remains firmly anchored on the pro-European path. Good news for the people of Moldova! Good news for Europe! #Moldova #Moldovanelections

The pro-European @EPP party PAS 🇲🇩 of @sandumaiamd, leads #Moldova’s parliamentary elections with 45% after 86% of votes counted. The pro-Russian party trails at 28%. A win, not only for Moldova, but also for Europe 🇪🇺 and Ukraine 🇺🇦.

Dear Viktor, I understand that there is an election campaign in your country, and that this time you are truly being challenged for power. But we do not interfere in your election campaign, nor do we want to become part of it. Sweden and the Swedish people have always been friends of Hungary and the Hungarian people, as you know. We were friends of Hungary before your government, during your government, and we will remain so after your government. We remember when Hitler’s genocide of Jews struck Hungary, and how Sweden in 1944 sent diplomat Raoul Wallenberg on a special mission to Budapest, to save as many Hungarian lives as possible. Tens of thousands of Hungarian Jews survived because we provided them with provisional protective passports and citizenship here in Sweden. When the Soviet Union later invaded Hungary, Raoul Wallenberg was forcibly taken to Moscow and disappeared. The Swedish diplomat died, but tens of thousands of Hungarian lives were saved. We would do it again. We also remember when the Soviet Union brutally crushed your Hungarian struggle for democracy and freedom in 1956, and when Prime Minister Imre Nagy was later executed for his efforts to democratize the country. When Russian tanks crushed the Hungarian freedom struggle, the Hungarian people pleaded with the UN and all Western powers for help. Almost no one listened. But one country that showed deep solidarity with you was Sweden. We opened our arms to your freedom fighters and dissidents. We allowed you to build exile opposition against Soviet communism here, despite our non-alignment. It was not without risk for us. But we did it anyway—because it was the right thing to do. Today, over 40,000 people of Hungarian descent live in Sweden, many of whom are descendants of the Hungarian refugees who came here in connection with the 1956 uprising. They are a well-integrated immigrant group in our Swedish society. Democratic states help each other, then and now. And they stand up against countries that try to oppress others. That is why, just as in 1944 and 1956, we support democratic countries that Russian tanks try to overrun. Back then, it was about Hungary; today, it is about Ukraine. And if we do not act, it could be about another country tomorrow. This is also why we often express concern about the developments in Hungary in recent years. Hungary ultimately regained its freedom, but freedom must also be defended. That is why we question when you go to have coffee with the leader of the same country that crushed your compatriots’ freedom struggle in 1956 and that today attacks your neighbour, Ukraine. Hungary and the West are not strengthened by closing the door to their European friends or by attacking each other and the very things that distinguish us from barbarism — democracy and the rule of law. Let me conclude with some wise words from yourself in 2007: “As kind of a new generation of the West, our message to those younger than we is to stick to a Western type Hungary, not to let Hungary be derailed from its Western path, and to love that Hungary is a Western type country, which means that we believe in the free will of people and in the mutual responsibility towards each other that we take upon us, which are inseparable parts of Western culture. The oil might come from the east, but freedom always comes from the west. And democracy cannot be directed from above, it can only grow from the hearts of people and in this way create a viable, Hungarian life.” Finally, I wish to convey Sweden’s respect for the Hungarian people, and to wish your country a free, peaceful, and successful election.
