Tusk to Putin:
"Whoever claims that liberal democracy is obsolete, also claims that freedoms are obsolete, that rule of law is obsolete & human rights are obsolete...
What I find really obsolete are: authoritarianism, personality cults, the rule of oligarchs."

Solidarity is a core value of the EU and the UK will always be a friend and an ally.
The UK requested help to the EU to produce maps following flooding in Northern England and wildfires affecting New South Wales. The EU, activated Copernicus right away.
Since
#Brexit

-ended roaming charges
-prohibited additional costs when paying with cards online
-enhanced data protection
-created Solidarity Corps
-launched Wifi4EU
-improved Erasmus
-funded thousands of researchers
-agreed Work-Life balance rules
Zelensky doing what -in my dreams- should be the role of the President of Council and Commission.
There was one who used to do it in private.
The days of member states hiding their sovereign decisions and blaming Brussels may be coming to an end.
The definitive thread of the best videos ever made by EU Institutions.
Some funny. Some provocative. Some weird.

Italy is solidarity.
Italy is art & culture.
Italy is food & joy.
Italy is beautiful coast, alpine lakes & mountain ranges.
Italy is the Bel Paese.
Italy is EU founding member.
Italy is living history.
Italy is its people.
Italy is not Salvini.

A thread with some funny Q&A exchanges during the daily press briefings.

Liverpool:
-The University alone successfully bid for £7.5m in EU funding for research on nuclear science, cardiovascular health...
-£2.85m for advice to SME manufacturers + £2.6m for 'eco-Innovatory' to develop low-carbon goods and services to help SMEs to grow sustainably

My fav bits: the special place for the 'Spanish party' and the "you are not in Hollywood here, you are in the HQ of the Commission of the European Communities"
Europeans were asked to estimate the share of inmigrants in their country. Here, you can see 'estimation vs reality' (by EU country).
In 19 EU countries, estimated proportion at least twice the size of the actual proportion. In some, ratio is much higher.

A ver, Juanma, te explico:
El Consejo de la UE son ministros de cada país. Debate y adopta legislación.
El Consejo Europeo son los Presis. Cumbres (trimestrales, normalmente) Define y decide prioridades. 1a y última palabra.
El Consejo de Europa no es una institución de la UE.
Posiblemente, la mejor noticia de los últimos días.
Gracias al programa LIFE de la UE, el oso pardo vuelve a la sierra gallega de O Courel tras 150 años de exilio.

It is not that 'Charles Michel should have offered his chair to vdl'. Come on. It's not about stale chivalry. It is politics and image. And diplomacy. Stay there standing up until another chair is in the room. Make THEM feel uncomfortable in front of the cameras. And stay strong.

"Descubrimos una red coordinada en Twitter-mezcla de bots y cuentas falsas-con el objetivo de impulsar hashtags anti-islam y amplificar apoyo al partido populista de derechas VOX"
Ramón Tremosa se quejó una vez a la Comisión Europea porque Mauricio Colmenero -personaje de Aída- hizo una broma que no le gustó.
Y envió pregunta parlamentaria y todo. Unas risas.
