A stronger, united and independent Europe is possible… and the plans the European Commission just published about EU-enlargement are a good start! They contain a ton of proposals to make sure the EU can decide faster. #enlargement #eu

“Op het moment dat een sterke Amerikaanse reactie bij een aanval op Europees grondgebied twijfelachtig is, wordt de kans groter dat Poetin toeslaat. Als Trump besluit ons niet te hulp te schieten en Europa zich op dat moment niet zelfstandig kan verdedigen, dan zijn we weerloos.

Volt en PRO trekken samen op in begrotingsgesprekken. Met Volt en PRO is er een stabiele meerderheid in beide Kamers, waardoor Nederland weer vooruit kan. Voor Volt is belangrijk: AI die weer voor ons werkt. Een Nederland dat beter bestand is tegen hitte en droogte. Werken moet weer gaan lonen.

A win-win-win deal? 🇬🇱-🇩🇰-🇺🇸+🇪🇺? The relevance and solidity of this new deal between Greenland, Danmark, and the USA needs to be seen in the coming years, but I’m for sure relieved that a reasonable outcome seems to have been found! @volteuropa.org #greenland

🇨🇦+🇪🇺 = ‘geassocieerd EU lidmaatschap’, maar niemand weet wat deze liefdesverklaring precies betekent… De vorm bestaat niet en moet nog worden ingevuld. Ik pleit er in het Het Financieele Dagblad voor om deze unieke kans volledig te benutten.

Our take on the good, the bad, and the ugly on defense in the state of the union speech of the President of the European Commission! The first steps towards a true European Defence Union are finally getting off the ground, but we have a race to run to the finishline!

We moeten bouwen aan het Europa dat ons beloofd is, maar nooit is afgemaakt. De Europese Veiligheidsraad is keihard nodig, en het is goed om te horen dat nu ook de Commissie hier achter staat.

While Europe debates, Russia attacks. Two days ago, I was on a train full of European politicians returning from Ukraine. As we crossed into Poland a Russian Drone hit a train on the spot where we were just moments before.

Over de drone aanval gisterenavond op de trein tussen Polen en Oekraïne, niet lang nadat wij waren gepasseerd. Putin gaat niet stoppen met zijn aanvallen op onschuldige mensen. De EU moet Oekraïne meer steun bieden. Genoeg om te winnen. Daar ligt mijn prioriteit in het Europees Parlement.

Reinier Van Lanschot @reiniervanlanschot.volteuropa.org · 13/09/2026

This was not the train I was on this morning, but the one behind it. Russian bombed this at the Ukrainian-Polish border. Thankfully the alarm system works well, people where evacuated in time, and no one got hurt. Russia escalates. Again and again. We should give Ukraine the means to win!

Talking about increased spending and planned budgets will not keep us safe. While the NATO summit is going to be dominated by endless discussions about the exact percentages of spending required- the truth is we need to act and create European capabilities.

UPDATE Trump just U-turned on the Polish troop deployment, pledging an additional 5,000 troops. Knowing Trump, this will be followed by another U-turn next week. Regardless: we shouldn’t depend on Trump or any American president for our security- so let's take decisions into our own hands
