‼️The Conference of Presidents has rejected the ECR’s proposal to debate and honour the memory of #HenryNowak in Strasbourg next week. It is a striking display of double standards: exactly 6 years ago, in June 2020, the European Parliament rushed to embrace the #BLM movement with immediate resolutions. Now, when it comes to Henry Nowak’s murder, they are suddenly refusing to debate it.📢 Are some tragedies more equal than others?#charlieweimers

In recent years, cognitive warfare has become a growing problem in Europe. In Latvia, we are talking about how to make our defence stronger against this new threat. Has your country been struggling with this? @RihardsKols

Maintaining the 2035 ban on internal combustion engine cars is a serious mistake! 🚗 What do you think? 👇 #StopTheGreenDelusion

Europe’s historical success was built by the daring spirit of its merchants and inventors, not by bureaucrats! That’s why, our priority is making sure we cut red tape and keep business simpler and more efficient for entrepreneurs across Europe. It’s time to let businesses grow.

The side that can move first usually wins. European armies have modern equipment. Moving it across the continent still takes weeks of permits, paperwork and incompatible standards. Military mobility is deterrence. 📸 Our last panel in Riga 🇱🇻, moderated by @RobertsZile. @AlexandrVondra @r_czarnecki

Modern war is no longer only fought at the frontline. It's fought in our minds, social media feeds and in public debate. Cognitive warfare is already here. Recognising it is the first line of defence. That's the focus of our second panel in Riga 🇱🇻, moderated by @RihardsKols with security experts on Europe's response.

Drone technology has erased the frontline. Civilians deep within Europe are more within reach than ever. The resilience of our societies isn't simply nice to have. It's a strategic necessity. Our member @Poznaks moderated our first talks with civic security experts in Riga 🇱🇻

Today the ECR joined the @Europarl_EN ceremony honouring the millions of victims of the June 1941 Soviet deportations. With @EP_President and our MEPs @AurelijusVeryga @arekmularczyk and @KosmaZlotowski, we read the victims' names. Their stories must never be forgotten.

More bureaucracy for Europe's most sustainable forests with zero impact on actual deforestation. It needs to be said: That’s not the right approach. Instead, action should be targeted, proportionate, and focused on the real problem. 📹 @BeatriceTimgren

The biggest thing to happen in EU migration policy in decades. The Return Regulation means faster procedures and true accountability for those countries of origin that refuse to take back their people. 📹 @NProcaccini

"When we speak about life and the need for justice, there is no room for double standards." ⚖️ The ECR Group has requested that a debate with a resolution on the case of Henry Nowak be added to next week’s plenary agenda. No criminal offence should ever be treated with double standards. 📹 @GPiperea

Europe must strengthen its technological sovereignty and reduce critical dependencies. But strategies alone are not enough. We need investment, innovation, and the right conditions for growth. 📈 📹 @diesofer
