Europe's future must be built on actions, not slogans. €115m adopted for defence innovation. Progress on EU Inc to help startups scale across borders. These are concrete steps, but delivery remains the real test. Europeans must shape Europe's future. 🇪🇺

Why do we call US citizens “Americans” as if they own an entire geographical identity? Canadians, Mexicans, Brazilians, Argentinians, and Peruvians are Americans too. The United States is a Federation of states in North America. It is not the Americas. “US citizens” is far more precise.

In 1956, Soviet tanks crushed Hungary's fight for freedom. 70 years later, Ukraine is fighting the same Russian imperialism. Honouring the heroes of 1956 means standing with Ukraine today. Freedom cannot be celebrated while aggression is excused.
