The announcement by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio that @ThierryBreton and four other European citizens are “not welcome” in the United States is more than a diplomatic incident. It is a political signal – and a worrying one. Europe’s digital rules, including the Digital Services Act, were approved by over 90% of the European Parliament in the last legislature and unanimously by all 27 Member States. They are democratic law. Defending them means defending European sovereignty. As our Secretary General @sandrogozi put it: “Denying a visa to Thierry Breton for defending laws democratically adopted by the EU is a very serious and unacceptable act. It attacks our sovereignty. It is a drift with the flavour of McCarthyism. Europe will not be intimidated.” Those who claim to defend free speech only when it suits them, and attack it when it becomes inconvenient, reveal a simple truth. There is only one answer: one Europe. Strong, sovereign, autonomous – including in the digital world.
