"Det var formands-Mette snarere end statsminister-Mette, der i dag talte i Europa-Parlamentet.”

@lykkefriis.bsky.social: "Freedom cannot be taken for granted. Or to quote: freedom is not a gift given once. It is a task for generation. So we better get down to work, and we have very intense program ahead of us."

@lykkefriis.bsky.social: "How can we find our way to the limbo between the two World orders? To what extent will the EU be able to speak the language of power and to respond towards China and Russia."

@lykkefriis.bsky.social: "Days can seem packed with years of events: Operation Spider Web in Russia, conflicts in the Middle East and US-EU trade tensions. These are just a few examples, underlining that the old order is dying, all this turmoil puts pressure on Europe to act".

Nedtælling til Nato-topmødet! Blandt europæerne er danskerne dem, der frygter mest, at regeringen ikke bruger nok på forsvaret. I Italien er det helt modsat. Her er bekymringen, at Italien bruger for mange penge #eudk #dkpol @thinkeuropa
Regeringen har netop præsenteret programmet for EU-formandskabet. På Insta og FB vil jeg flere gange i løbet ugen invitere til virtuel #europakaffe ☕️om formandskab men naturligvis også Europa generelt #eudk

Sammenhængskraften i EU er afgørende. For Biosolutions betyder det at man ikke bare skal snakke om klima, men også sikkerhed og konkurrenceevne, som er vigtigt blandt skeptikere.
