Wolfgang #Schäuble is a great European, a visionary, devoted to his country and to the European project, who has worked tirelessly to bring the 🇪🇺 closer to its citizens and to protect their future. #EPPZagreb 2/2

I am extremely honoured to present my friend Wolfgang #Schäuble with the 2019 @EPP Merit Award to recognise his outstanding contribution to promoting the values that our political family stands for. #EPPZagreb 1/2

It is a great pleasure to be here with my @EPP_CoR friends, PM @AndrejPlenkovic & President @MSchneiderEPP to discuss a crucial topic; European investment in our towns and cities & our role in creating the best conditions for SMEs to foster.

It is with a heavy heart that I stand before you, surrounded by my @EPPGroup friends, @ManfredWeber & PM @AndrejPlenkovic as I conclude my 20 years of European adventure. We have always fought together to defend our Christian Democratic values & bring 🇪🇺 closer to the people

RT @EPP: Preparations are almost complete. We are excited to kick off our #EPPZagreb Congress tomorrow. #WeAreFamily

I am delighted to have arrived in #Zagreb & welcome, together with 🇭🇷PM @AndrejPlenkovic, so many of our member parties at the #PoliticalAssembly. The preparations with the EPP Presidency for #EPPZagreb Congress & current political developments in Europe top our agenda.

.@EPP is strongly disappointed with the results of the elections in #Belarus. None of @oscepa recommendations were taken into account. The threats posed by the Belarusian authorities towards the opposition are unacceptable. We will continue to follow the situation very closely.

Toutes mes pensées sont avec la famille de l’adolescente décédée lors de l’effondrement du pont à #MirepoixSurTarn. C’est un drame effroyable. Je souhaite aussi un prompt rétablissement aux blessés et exprime tout mon soutien aux services de secours.

Pensées émues pour les victimes des attaques du #13Novembre à #Paris. La France est restée soudée contre la haine et la violence. Cette unité s’est exprimée à travers la fraternité des Français, le courage des forces de sécurité & le dévouement des services de santé.

The backbone of @sandumaiamd's programme was installing an independent justice system with an independent Prosecutor General who would help rid #Moldova of corruption & defend #RuleOfLaw. Unfortunately this was not a goal of #PSRM or President #Dodon.

Congratulations to 🇷🇴President @KlausIohannis on his resounding win in the 1st round of presidential elections. Romanians’ choice for a transparent justice, #RuleOfLaw society & pro-European course is clear. We wish another electoral victory to the President in the 2nd round.

I wish a strong electoral result to @populares & @pablocasado_ in this Sunday's parliamentary elections. Only a strong government of the centre-right can break the current political impasse & deliver stability & prosperity to #Spain: #VotaPP #10N🔽

I wish the best of luck to the candidates of @EPP member parties in #Romania. Only the centre-right can restore the #RuleOfLaw, protect the judiciary & deliver prosperity to all Romanian citizens while giving the country a strong voice in Europe.

I would also like to thank @SMuresan for his determination and commitment to #Romania and the #EU. @EPP is proud to count such a young and competent politician among its ranks and I am convinced his excellent work will continue to bear fruit for all EU citizens.

I would like to congratulate @AdinaValean on her nomination as 🇷🇴 #Romania's 🇪🇺 Commissioner-candidate. As a dedicated European, I can say with certainty that she will work with the interests of EU citizens at heart.

On behalf of the @EPP, I would like to congratulate Prime Minister #LudovicOrban and wish him well as he leads government of the centre-right in #Romania 🔽

.@EPP calls on European and other international institutions to closely monitor the situation and prevent any developments that could undermine democracy in #Armenia.

.@EPP is concerned by intimidation & a criminal case against Constitutional Court Chair #Tovmasyan. The constitutional order & #RuleOfLaw in #Armenia must be guaranteed. The current 🇦🇲gov must stick to its Constitution, guarantee proper checks & balances & separation of power.

Congratulations to #Bulgaria on @EU_Commission's recommendations to lift #CVM. PM @BoykoBorissov hard work paid off & brought progress to 🇧🇬. Saddened by #Romanian socialist government’s failure to conduct reforms & comply with #RuleOfLaw, failing their citizens and country.
