馃嚘馃嚥馃嚜馃嚭 Kicking off our visit to Yerevan in the EU Delegation. Armenia has steadily strengthened its engagement with Europe to become a strategic partner in the region and open a new chapter in its geopolitical positioning. After the last parliamentary elections, it鈥檚 an opportunity for EPP to start assessing this development first-hand.

Democracy is based on strong institutions and good checks and balances. We finish our mission in Yerevan with insightful meetings with constitutional experts, media representatives and academia discussing the role of the Church, security and democratic reforms. There is only one way to move closer to the EU and build a future together: freedom, justice and the rule of law and we are ready to work on this path together.

At the National Assembly of Armenia, a good conversation with President Rubinyan and representatives of EPP applicant party Civil Contract about Armenia鈥檚 pro-European path and closer ties with the EU. Their internal party election reflects a clear commitment to building a strong democracy. Strengthening the rule of law and advancing judicial reform will be equally important to moving forward on this path and delivering tangible improvements for the people of Armenia.

The EPP is deeply concerned about the politically motivated arrest of yet another UNM leader Giorgi Baramidze, who has been a strong advocate of Georgia's European aspirations for many years.

Hoy he visitado Ceuta junto a los presidentes @NunezFeijoo y @ManfredWeber, y hemos visto con nuestros propios ojos el fracaso absoluto de S谩nchez dos meses despu茅s de la invasi贸n. Playas ocupadas. 13.000 irregulares deambulando sin control. Un pueblo que siente miedo y abandono de quienes deben defenderlo. Ceuta es una ciudad herida, pero valiente, y no la vamos a dejar sola. Donde no est茅 S谩nchez, all铆 estar谩 Europa.

Competitiveness means jobs and more opportunities for the European citizens. EPP Finance Ministers met in Dublin ahead of the ECOFIN to discuss competitiveness in the European banking sector, innovation in global capital and financial markets, and the impact of AI.

Ceuta is Spain. Ceuta is Europe. 馃嚜馃嚭馃嚜馃嚫 Today, the European Parliament stands with Ceuta. Protect our borders. Stop illegal migration. Speed up returns to Morocco. Defend Spain鈥檚 sovereignty. Europe stands together. Europe acts.
El Parlamento Europeo ha dicho claro que Ceuta no se vende. Se defiende. Aprobamos una Resoluci贸n que exige a S谩nchez aplicar inmediatamente el Pacto Europeo de Migraci贸n y Asilo, garantizar la seguridad y acelerar el retorno de adultos y menores. Con un mensaje n铆tido a Marruecos: la soberan铆a y la integridad territorial de Espa帽a no se negocian. Se respetan. Incondicionalmente. Rabat debe asumir su responsabilidad y readmitir a todos los irregulares. Europa logra en 3 d铆as lo que S谩nchez no ha hecho en 50: escucha, ayuda y soluciones. Ceuta no est谩 sola. Toda Europa est谩 con ella.

The answer to today鈥檚 shocks is a way of doing politics: not lecturing, but working with people; not waiting, acting! We must tackle climate change with people, not against them: We stopped the ban on combustion engine as promised and we will fight for a reasonable ETS reform.

The best answer to today鈥檚 threats is unity and a European pillar of defence. Mitterrand and Kohl made European unity irreversible through the euro. We need the same approach for defence with joint command structures, a single market for armaments, European drones and satellites.

Bringing back GROWTH in Europe is bringing back HOPE. Prosperity, jobs, social belonging鈥攖hey must go hand in hand or none will hold. There is huge growth potential in our Union: Capital Markets Union, a stronger Single Market, a European AI fund and the new Competitiveness Fund.

We need 馃嚜馃嚭 friends. Prime Minister @MarkJCarney, Canada is one of them. Since CETA was applied, EU-Canada trade has grown by 80%, with 700,000 European jobs depending on 馃嚚馃嚘 exports. Trade is more than markets. It builds a world where Europe is not alone, based on mutual respect.
