We don't agree here. Just as the EU🇪🇺 has financially supported Spain🇪🇸 in its difficult times, Spain should do the same with the Union now regarding our joint defence. Solidarity is not only one-way. It should extend across all policy areas, nations, and generations.
Lo dice hasta Goldman Sachs: “La economía española crece tres veces más que la zona euro.” “Y una razón clave para ello es la decisión del Gobierno de no priorizar el aumento del gasto en defensa. Esta política ha preservado la credibilidad del país en los mercados financieros, siendo España el único de los cuatro grandes de la UE que reducirá la deuda sobre PIB en los próximos tres años.” Más crecimiento, más estabilidad fiscal y más Estado del bienestar. Nuestro modelo funciona. Ahora que vengan las derechas a hablarnos de las virtudes del 5%. goldmansachs.com/insights/ar…

Canada chooses European! 🇪🇺 The preferred fleet of Canada's fighter jet overhaul would be 30 F-35's and 60 Swedish Gripen's. According to recent news reports, this has been chosen because Canada wants to be less reliant on the United States.

Yes, this is fair, enough with the vague bullshit of "competitive salary"
Equal work deserves equal pay. Three years ago, the EU adopted the Pay Transparency Directive. Now, EU countries are bringing these new rules into national law: ✔️ Pay transparency for jobseekers ✔️ Right to information for employees ✔️ Gender pay gap reporting ✔️ Joint pay assessments Because equal pay starts with pay transparency.

If olives are fruit, is olive oil fruit juice? In May, Parliament approved changes to Article 36 of the 2015 International Agreement on Olive Oil and Table Olives. The agreement can be extended in 5-year periods, helping protect trade, quality standards and consumer rights.

40 years since the EU flag was raised in front of our headquarters in Brussels for the very first time. Twelve stars. A single market. Four decades of standing together for unity, solidarity, and diversity. The symbol that fosters Europeans’ sense of community. 🇪🇺

🧐 “EU is preparing a sweeping push to loosen its dependence on US technology by backing European alternatives in sectors from semiconductors and cloud computing to AI. A draft European tech sovereignty strategy seen by the FT says the bloc must “reclaim its place in the global race for geoeconomic power” at a “defining moment to assert its technological sovereignty”. The plan envisages incentives to accelerate the construction of European data centres and favour homegrown cloud and AItechnologies. #transatlanticrelations

The EU🇪🇺 is not so decadent, declining, stagnated etc etc as the MAGA and putinist disinformation presents. To the contrary, it is the most attractive region on the planet, with many many nations wishing to join it. Thank you Armenia 🇦🇲 ! civilnet.am/en/news/1012027
