De brede parlementaire fracties bepalen wie de plak zwaait in het Europees Parlement. Met de vorming van Renew Europe in 2019 hebben alle liberale en hervormingsgezinde partijen de handen in elkaar geslagen. De groep neemt daardoor een cruciale plaats in: voor het eerst hebben de christen-democraten en socialisten geen meerderheid meer. In het machtige en onafhankelijke Parlement, maken zij het verschil.

Met verenigde krachten

98 Europese volksvertegenwoordigers die samen 100% voor Europa gaan.

A simple question to Von der Leyen: will you again reward Orbán for his blackmail over Ukraine?

Guard the treaties. Use them creatively to bypass Orbán… and secure full support to Ukraine.

Grateful to be elected president of the @europeanmovement_international… and ready to rumble !

Why? Because politics is a question of momentum more than anything. It needs organisations and people to drive the momentum forward.

For much of its illustrious past, the European Movement has been that organisation. It was there befóre the Council of Europe and the organisations that are now the European Union — from ’48 on. Which tells you an important lesson that today we often forget: ideas come before actions, and European unification is possible if —and only if— there is broad mobilisation of popular and public opinion before politics and institutions.

That has always has been the case, and today more than ever.

One of the very important take-aways from the Conference on the Future of Europe is that citizens are ahead of politicians in their thinking about Europe… and more impatient when it comes to results.

European values are under threat, the European spirit is actively being undermined, European policies are faltering or failing… and at the heart of all that is European politics itself falling short.

Time to push back !

The European Movement has a chance to energise people around the European ideal, especially in countries like the UK or Hungary where being ‘European’ is a tangible political and societal choice, or in the Balkans where the geopolitical need for Europe is clearest, and around issues like EU reform where the fate of European integration is really in the balance.

It’s an honour to get this mandate. It has been fifty years since a Belgian was last president of the European Movement —Jean Rey— and the second and probably best known president was no less than Paul- Henri Spaak. He said in ’48: ‘It is my solid conviction that Europe, if it does not organise itself, if it remains splintered along national lines, will fall into decay. I try to organise Europe, to make Europe, that is the ideal to which I strive with all my powers.’

Three quarters of a century on, I couldn’t have said it better: Time to get Europe moving again ! ...
