Esta mañana he podido observar el empleo de fondos europeos #NextGenEU en cosas tan tangibles y beneficiosas para el ciudadano como maquinaria puntera para diagnóstico y tratamiento de pacientes o en nuevos espacios para consultas en el Hospital Clinic de #Valencia.

🚄 Madrid to Lisbon in just 3 hours! 💨 This week, we adopted the plan to complete the high-speed rail link between the two capitals by 2034 — a major step towards seamless cross-border travel in Europe. High-speed rail is about more than just speed — it’s about connecting Europeans through cleaner, smarter, and more efficient mobility. 👉 transport.ec.europa.eu/news-… #ConnectingEurope #EUTransport 🇪🇺

One year after the devastating floods in Valencia, we remain with the people of Spain. We share your pain. And we will always remember the incredible solidarity of a community coming together to rebuild. Europe will continue to support you in this effort. With almost €3 billion for the people, businesses and communities affected. Porque Europa sigue con vosotros.

Affordable housing is a pressing issue affecting citizens across Europe. Tackling the housing crisis requires action at all levels: local, regional, and national. Good to engage with @EU_CoR and @EU_EESC on how the EU can best play its part. x.com/i/broadcasts/1dRKZaDkA…

EU Member States have approved our 19th package of sanctions against Russia. We’re keeping the pressure high on the aggressor. For the first time we are hitting Russia’s gas sector - the heart of its war economy. We will not relent until the people of Ukraine have a just and lasting peace.
FM @larsloekke: "Under 🇩🇰 Presidency, the EU has today agreed on 19th sanctions package. Decisive step towards stopping Russia’s biggest revenue source oil and gas + further shadow fleet measures. With new 🇺🇸 sanctions on top, this will have severe impact on Russian economy.”

On this day in 1956, as Soviet tanks took the streets of Budapest, the brave people of Hungary rose up in defiance of oppression and foreign domination. As Hungary remembers the heroes of the 1956 Revolution, let us also commemorate those who fight today for their freedom and their independence. 🇭🇺

It is a pleasure to have President @ZelenskyyUa 🇺🇦 join us at a #EUCO which will reaffirm our support to Ukraine—just as a new package of sanctions against Russia was agreed. Follow our joint doorstep. ↓ x.com/i/broadcasts/1gqxvrdzp…

We will introduce “made in Europe” criteria for public procurement in certain strategic sectors. Ensure that new foreign investments in our industry are truly in Europe’s interest. And step up support for strategic industries, like cars and batteries

Appreciated this evening’s call with @SecScottBessent and the Treasury decision to sanction major Russian oil companies in the face of Russia’s lack of commitment to the peace process. With the imminent adoption of the EU’s 19th package, this is a clear signal from both sides of the Atlantic that we will keep up collective pressure on the aggressor.

Russian energy has no place in the EU. A draft plan to fully ban imports of Russian gas and oil has been approved by the relevant Parliament committees. Russia has systematically used its energy supplies as a weapon against the EU. It's time to say goodbye.

Today I met with representatives of the Serbian civil society. The EU is ready to support Serbia in building a solid democracy. This is what the accession process is about. EU-related reforms should involve all parts of society and political spectrum. In this context, I welcome the recent progress made on the Unified Voter Register and the REM Council. Implementation is now key. Together, these reforms provide a solid foundation for the country’s EU path.

📍Touchdown in Kosovo. We remain committed to a future where all six Western Balkan partners are part of our Union. For this, it’s important that Kosovo keeps building strong institutions. De-escalates tensions in the country. Also, Kosovo should finalise the steps needed to benefit from the Growth Plan.

You have made it happen! Montenegro has joined Europe’s Single Payment Area. Since last week, transfers of money between 🇲🇪 🇲🇰 🇦🇱 and the EU are safer. And much, much cheaper. We're getting closer together ↓ x.com/i/broadcasts/1BRJjgjyW…

The evidence of Russia’s war crimes in Ukraine is plain to see. Unpunished crimes only encourage new atrocities. Today, we are providing the first €10 million for the Special Tribunal to ensure that those responsible for the crimes of aggression do not escape justice.

Ukrainians inspire the world with their courage. Their resilience calls for our full support. I am in Kyiv today for talks on financial and military support, the security of Ukraine’s energy sector, and holding Russia accountable for its war crimes.

The return of the Israeli hostages is a moment of pure joy for those families. And a moment of relief for the entire world. It means that a page can be turned. A new chapter can begin. Europe fully supports the peace plan brokered by the United States, Qatar, Egypt, and Türkiye. The finalisation of the agreement ending the war today in Sharm el-Sheikh will be a historical milestone. We stand ready to contribute to its success with all tools at our disposal. In particular, by providing support on governance and for the reform of the Palestinian Authority. We will be an active force within the Palestinian Donors Group. And we will provide EU funding for the reconstruction of Gaza.
