Trump zaagt aan de stoelpoten van Europa.

De EU en migratie zouden tot ‘beschavingsuitwissing’ leiden en daarom zal de VS nationalistische partijen in Europa steunen.

Kabinet, veroordeel deze inmenging en maak Europa onafhankelijk. Kamervragen ingediend.

We should unite Europe, not divide it. We must protect our democracy and strengthen EU unity. Volt’s 9-point plan from March 2025 shows how we can make this happen. Read more and take action to defend a strong, united Europe: volteuropa.org/news/eu-resp...

The pattern has been visible for years, but now it’s explicit. The USA aims to interfere in our democracy, support nationalistic parties, and undermine the EU’s unity from within.

Why?
 
A united Europe is the only way Europe is strong enough to resist what Trump wants.

🤯 The National Security Strategy of the USA was just published. It’s an explicit plan to weaken the EU: they want Europe to operate as a group of sovereign nations.

Their strategy even prioritizes: “Cultivating resistance to Europe’s current trajectory within European nations.”

Seven new BA.3.2.2 from Germany today spotted by @JosetteSchoenma. They are genetically dispersed and are therefore clearly not a cluster. As @snpoehlm says, this is ~5% of all sequences and ~15% in North Rhine-Westphalia. Collection dates Nov 6-18.

One has a very interesting RBD mutation... 1/2

It’s become clear that Georgian police used chemical weapons against their own citizens. Protesting is a core democratic right, this is unacceptable.
 
We should sanction Georgian Dream’s leadership, fund independent media, and support the democratic voices.

The ruling party Georgian Dream is turning Georgia into a Russian nightmare.

For months, citizens have protested in the cold and rain to demand a European future. Their determination clearly scares PM Kobakhidze, who now pushes harsher fines and longer prison sentences for peaceful protesters.

New reporting shows foreign trolls tried to influence the Dutch elections, boosting FvD figures.

This is just one example. I’m increasingly convinced we’re only seeing a fraction of the foreign interference damaging our democracies.

We need stronger oversight & stricter rules on foreign influence!

45 dagen! Zo lang duurt het om defensiemateriaal van Rotterdam langs alle grenzen naar het front in Oekraïne te loodsen.

Deze werkgroep is een mooi begin, maar de enige oplossing voor een sterk Europa is een Europees leger. Dit hoort aan de formatietafel thuis.

Exporting problems isn’t leadership. Humanity is. We should:
 👉 Fix our asylum procedures in Europe
👉 Speed up fair and voluntary returns within Europe
👉 Create safe, legal pathways so people don’t risk their lives

Europe took decades to unite after the WWII - a democratic achievement still in progress.
 
There is only one way to avoid Ukraine’s defeat and a split Europe: Russia must be stopped in Ukraine, peace must be fair, and Europe must finally speak with one voice.

But the fight isn’t over until every EU country legalises same-sex marriage and every LGBTQ+ person feels safe and respected. Let’s keep pushing for equality. 💜
