Confirmation that Russia was behind the drone attack at Leipzig Airport is yet another clear indication that Moscow is waging a campaign of hybrid war across Europe. The EU must respond decisively: with stronger sanctions, increased vigilance and continued, unwavering support for Ukraine.

Shocking images of massive and uncontrolled arrivals of illegal migrants at the Spanish border today. Uncontrolled borders demand immediate action. The EU Migration Pact and the Return Regulation can’t wait.

Russia's military and security services are waging war not only in Ukraine, but also through hybrid attacks against Europe. Those who serve in these organisations should not enjoy free access to the EU.

2 YEARS. REAL RESULTS. When war returned to Europe, the EPP Group refused to look away. We fought for €90 billion to support Ukraine. We secured real military funding and a stronger defence budget, because your safety is not negotiable. #PeopleFirst

Rule of law restored = EU funds released. Hungarians should not pay the price for Viktor Orbán's years of democratic backsliding. Once all EU conditions are fulfilled, every euro owed to Hungary must reach the Hungarian people without delay.

The EU needs urgent measures to strengthen the competitiveness of the EU’s automotive sector. Factories are closing, quality jobs are disappearing, production is moving elsewhere. We call on all responsible political forces to join us in restoring Europe's automotive industry to global leadership.

Europe relies on satellites for defence, security and critical communications. Yet recent reports of foreign spacecraft operating near European geostationary satellites have highlighted growing vulnerabilities in space. How can Europe better protect its strategic assets in orbit?

Nearly 500,000 Russian citizens enjoyed European holidays last year. Meanwhile, Ukrainians were dying on the battlefield. It's time to end Schengen tourist visas for Russian tourists. Holidays in the EU are a privilege, not a right for citizens of a country waging war on our continent.

Online harassment ruins lives, and it must be treated as a criminal offence throughout the EU. Period. We at the EPP Group will not stop until we achieve stronger EU action against cyberbullying. But to protect children online, we need hard laws, not just soft recommendations.
