Si même le RN le dit... Reste LFI à nier l'évidence
🔴 COMMUNIQUÉ DE MARINE LE PEN ET JORDAN BARDELLA SUR LA DÉTÉRIORATION DE LA SITUATION SÉCURITAIRE EN EUROPE ET LES ACTIONS HYBRIDES RUSSES « Nous ne tolérerons jamais qu’une puissance étrangère, en l’occurrence la Russie, puisse espérer dicter directement ou indirectement la politique de notre pays par l’intimidation, la menace, la déstabilisation ou la pression psychologique. Aucune provocation, aucune opération clandestine et aucune action de déstabilisation ne sauraient conduire la France à faciliter l’obtention par la Russie de ses buts de guerre en Ukraine. La France ne saurait laisser impunie toute action hostile entreprise sur son territoire, contre ses infrastructures, ses intérêts stratégiques ou son peuple. Toute opération de cette nature doit faire l’objet d’une réponse proportionnée, dans le respect de notre droit, de nos intérêts nationaux et de nos engagements internationaux. De même, nous réaffirmons notre plus vive solidarité à l’égard des pays européens alliés qui ont fait l’objet d’actes hostiles ou de campagnes de déstabilisation. » Version intégrale ⤵️ rassemblementnational.fr/com…

I have never been a fan of Merz. But this is really good. To stand up to the far right head-on, rather than pandering to their narratives. Probably the only way forward.
MERZ: For four and a half years, Ukraine has been fighting for its survival, and no one — yes, no one — has threatened Russia... [AfD shouting and interrupting Merz] Let me say this again now, quite calmly. We support Ukraine, and we will continue to support Ukraine. Because they are also defending our freedom, even here in the middle of our European continent. And your [AfD] reactions only show that you clearly intend to continue this downright grotesque reversal of perpetrator and victim. No one has threatened Russia. Not NATO, not European Union, not Germany. And your [AfD] reactions show exactly how you think. Ladies and gentlemen, the only thing that truly threatens Russia and Putin is the radiance of democracy. Ukraine was on its way into European democratic family, and that is precisely the real danger to Putin’s regime in Russia. And you in AfD know that, yet you remain unchanged on Russia’s side when it comes to defending our freedom here as well.

Repeated just now, the scene at Ceuta I describe in Homelands... Can Europe find a response that is effective – but also humane and legal...?
Entrada masiva y descontrolada de personas en Ceuta a través de la frontera de Marruecos. Eso nunca ocurre sin el visto bueno de las autoridades marroquíes. Es un método usado por Rabat para mostrar su descontento a España. Ceuta es frontera europea.

Together with @magyarpeterMP, we visited the plaque at the Reichstag commemorating Hungary’s role in opening the border in 1989. This decision helped pave the way for German reunification and a free Europe. Its message remains powerful today: “For the friendship of the Hungarian and German people, for a united Germany, for an independent Hungary, for a democratic Europe.” This is the foundation on which 🇭🇺–🇩🇪 dialogue should stand today as well.
