Alexander Milinkevich heeft jarenlang gestreden voor vrijheid en democratie in Belarus en heeft zijn leven daaraan gewijd. Vandaag hebben de democratische krachten in Belarus een van hun meest waardige vertegenwoordigers verloren.

Our latest sanctions package against Russia steps up the pressure on Russia's war economy. This year alone, in seven rounds of sanctions, we have designated up to 500 individuals and entities. This means around 2.5 listings, every day. Read in full: link.europa.eu/NHQGCw

As well as crypto firms and oil trading platforms. Freezing the oil price cap adjustment for a year, so that the Russian war machine does not benefit from market shocks. For the first time, we’re targeting vessels assisting Russia’s shadow fleet.

On Nelson Mandela International Day, we remember a leader whose words still inspire.   His message centres on human dignity, democracy and freedom of thought: values that guide the European Parliament.   Watch clips from his June 1990 speech: youtu.be/4GkwO6w7WOQ
Nelson Mandela speaking with his hand raised, alongside a quote reading: “We take it as a challenge, above all, to have the courage to fight for justice and peace, whatever the obstacles.” His name, title as President of South Africa (1994–1999), and the European Parliament logo appear below.

47 years ago today, history was made.   Simone Veil became the first President of the directly elected European Parliament and the first woman to lead an EU institution. To this day, her legacy inspires generations to follow.

A quote reads: "My demand as a woman is that my difference be taken into account, that I not be forced to adapt to the male model."
