The US would not be stronger if they had 50 defence markets & industries on the level of each state.
In Europe, fragmentation into 27 defence markets & industries also does not bring strength to us.
We must be ambitious for our defence: on defragmentation, on scale, on speed.
Why don't we stand united in front of the USA? Romania might be forced to accept the use of the american military base for this war and then if we get attacked by Iranians, who will protect us? Americans might change their mind later if we deny any request from them...
Europeโs energy transition is well underway but it is far from uniform.
In 25 European countries, non-fossil fuel sources now generate the majority of electricity, a clear sign of how deeply clean power has penetrated the system.
George Simion will always lose. We know him, we know how fake he is, so of course he didn't win the elections in Romania. I hope Polish people will be smarter next time and not vote for these conservatives again.
๐ค๐ Romaniaโs pro-Russian far-right leader George Simion may have lost the presidency at home, but his slick online campaign machine boosted Karol Nawrocki in Poland โ and is now fueling Law and Justiceโs populist comeback bid.
WE WON!

No one forced you to choose Orban. Ask him for food since you knew he is against the EU and you elected him anyway.
I cannot read it in Romanian. Please translate in all EU languages or provide us with the option to switch the language on mobile devices too. I wouldn't mind if the page would default to English when there is no translation available, just make it accessible for everyone.
๐ท๐ด๐ช๐บ I was pleased to welcome Romanian Prime-Minister Ilie Bolojan today at the Berlaymont.
We discussed about EU funding opportunities, specifically on the European Social Fund Plus.
You should also ensure that every hospital that has the capacity to perform abortions, actually offers this service. Now in Romania, for example, there are doctors who refuse to perform abortions in public hospitals for religious reasons, but the same doctors perform them in private clinics.
Very well! You should also invest more in research for safe contraception so that women can have babies only when they are ready and really want them.
We want them back in the EU and maybe they want to rejoin, too. A referendum to rejoin EU would be a great idea if they could do it.
Dragoศ Pรฎslaru, Ilie Bolojan and Nicuศor Dan are ๐ , honest and doing their best. Still, we would appreciate if we had more support, like some EU institution to help with the implementation and make sure that the money are spent correctly, with our best interest at heart. We need help with the ๐
Good meeting with ๐ท๐ด Prime Minister Bolojan.
We're grateful to Romania for keeping the Black Sea region safe.
And your solidarity with Moldova and Ukraine is remarkable.
That's why we'll ramp up our support to you and our other Eastern communities.
Thank Trump for that.
The European Union has now officially designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of the Iranian regime as a terrorist organisation.

A large number of foreign correspondents working for @washingtonpost.com, including those covering the war in #Ukraine, have been laid off. We stand in solidarity with the affected employees & join @newsguild.org in condemning Jeff Bezos' leadership & vision as incompatible with The Post's mission.
This is outrageous! We cannot accept to have our biometric data shared without our consent with institutions who kidnap people, with a country who is ruled by a pedophile.
We never agreed to have our data shared with foreign governments. And then you wonder why there are people refusing the new IDs in Romania... That is why: how can we trust that our biometric data is not used against us by foreign nations? Is GDPR a lame joke now?
