EPP

A strong Cyprus within a strong European Union. I greatly appreciate the consistent solidarity of @EPP with Cyprus. Today’s EPP statement: “We reiterate EU’s steady support to Cyprus, whose security is inseparable from EU security. We commend the deployment of assets by 5 member states to enhance security in the Eastern Mediterranean region.”

Developments in the Middle East underline the need for national and 🇪🇺 EU action to mitigate rising energy costs, stabilise markets, and prevent further inflation — while addressing the structural challenges holding back businesses, growth, and competitiveness. #EUCO

Our role is to protect the European citizens and businesses from soaring energy prices mainly due to the crisis in Iran. Europe’s strength must lie in its ability to stay resilient, and stand on its own, said EPP President @ManfredWeber in the margins of the party summit.

Geopolitical instability is no longer a distant threat, it’s a direct test of Europe’s security. We must strengthen Europe's defence by 2030 and turn EU solidarity in defence into real, concrete action—we need European drone and missile shields to safeguard our 🇪🇺 Member States.

Europe’s security is Ukraine’s security. 🇪🇺🇺🇦 We must provide sustained financial support to Kyiv and ensure strong, credible security guarantees. In these volatile times, Europe must remain united, resilient, and steadfast in defending peace and our shared values.

Today in Brussels, EPP leaders gathered for an enlarged summit to address Russia’s war against Ukraine and the situation in the Middle East. The escalation in Iran is already driving up energy prices and threatening our economic stability. We need to prevent another energy shock.

👏Happy 50th Anniversary, European People’s Party! One family. One future. For all.

We are the People’s Party—people first! At 50, we bring experience and the drive to build a better Europe for all. The European dream lives when people feel it’s theirs. We believe in a democratic Europe shaped by its people.

50 years of the European People’s Party. 50 years in service to the people. 50 years of Christian Democracy—our foundation: freedom, human dignity, solidarity, responsibility. Today we are Europe’s largest political family. We build on trust. We listen. We deliver.

50 years of leadership. A legacy that continues.  Our political family gathers to celebrate the EPP’s 50th anniversary. Building on the work of the leaders who shaped our movement, we continue working for a stronger Europe. Happy birthday EPP! 🇪🇺

Call a Commissioner a European minister, call a regulation a law and say out loud that European decisions are taken not by bureaucrats but by elected politicians.” Our President, @ManfredWeber! 🇪🇺

“Our European dream will only sustain if people really feel that Europe is their Europe. That is why we should open the black box that is Brussels.

From past to present, this is a political conversation that spans generations. The EPP has played a leading role in European politics, contributing to stability and continuity while adapting its vision and leadership to address evolving social, economic, and security challenges.

“We know that freedom is possible, that democracy must be defended, and that dignity is never negotiable. We are the answer to Wilfried Martens’ legacy: Europe is the European People's Party”, inspiring address from EPP Secretary General @DolorsMM at the party's 50th anniversary.
