Finally, we are stepping up our work to lift barriers in our own single market. This crisis has made one thing clear: in times of uncertainty, the single market is our anchor of stability and resilience.

For millions of Europeans, Schengen made daily life dramatically easier: students studying abroad, cross-border workers, and tourists no longer needed to carry passports or wait at borders. It had an immediate and profound social impact.

We hear you and agree. So we are working on rules for single digital booking and ticketing and an initiative for multimodal digital mobility services. They’ll help rail operators and digital platforms make travel easier and more eco-friendly.

Trump never had a peace plan for Ukraine. He had a plan for Ukraine's surrender, with a colonial resource grab. As Zelenskyy rightly refused it, or to cooperate in Trump's TV spectacular, the US has now cut Ukraine off. That's what blackmail looks like. That's what the world is up against.

Last year, law enforcement intercepted about 19 kilograms of fentanyl at the US-Canada border. At the southern border, agents seized 9,600 kilograms. The idea that Canada is a major source of drugs is a lie, and this admin is hoping you’re stupid enough to believe it.

DANKE!! 🙏 Gemeinsam verteidigen wir die Brandmauer und das, was sie schützt: Menschlichkeit, Demokratie, Solidarität. Toll, dass ihr alle da wart!
Ein beeindruckendes Foto einer riesigen Demonstration bei Nacht: Tausende Menschen stehen dicht gedrängt auf einer Straße, viele halten ihre Handys mit eingeschalteten Taschenlampen in die Luft. Ein Schild mit der Aufschrift "Schäm dich, Merz!" ist sichtbar.

Darüber liegt eine auffällige Textbox mit der Botschaft:
"Einfach nur Wow: 700.000 Menschen waren dieses Wochenende in Deutschland auf der Straße, um die Brandmauer zu verteidigen!"

Im unteren Bereich ist das Logo von Campact – Bewegt Politik zu sehen. Foto: Chris Grodotzki von der Demo in Berlin.

A purple graphic with the European and the text "DIGITAL SERVICES ACT" in large white letters. Below that, it reads "Countering the spread of illegal  hate speech online." There are seven yellow stars arranged in a circle around the text. Each star has a symbol inside it: a bell, a padlock, a document with a magnifying glass, a checkmark, a crossed-out face, a no symbol, and an ad symbol.
