RT by @EPPGroup@respublicae.eu: I welcome the announced ceasefire in the Middle East, an important and much-needed step towards de-escalation.

This moment once again underlines the crucial importance of preventive diplomacy. Too often, it remains under-prioritised, yet it is precisely sustained engagement, dialogue, and early action that can help prevent tensions from escalating into conflict.

In this context, I also welcome the role of His Holiness the Pope @Pontifex , w...

Today, the European Parliament adopted its position on the new Return Regulation, marking a decisive step towards restoring control over migration in Europe and complete the final pillar of the Pact on Migration and Asylum.

The adopted mandate reflects the EPP Group's commitment to a fair but firm migration policy ensuring that those who do not have the right to stay in the EU are returned effectively.

The EPP Group welcomes today’s plenary approval of the EU-US Framework Agreement, stressing that Europe is bringing stability and certainty at a time of global tensions.

The agreement gives businesses and consumers what they need most right now: predictability. It protects millions of European jobs, avoids higher tariffs, and stabilises a €1.6 trillion transatlantic relationship.

Politics is about people before anything else. Every decision we make is guided by the same Christian Democratic values that have shaped Europe for generations. Security is one of those principles that remains more relevant than ever. It means more than feeling protected. It’s what gives us the confidence to live freely. And freedom can only flourish where people feel safe in their homes, in their communities, and secure in their future. What makes you feel safe in today's Europe?

Europe needs responsibility, not political games!

The EPP Group delivers on its promises and on migration.

Today, the European Parliament adopted a clear position for a credible and efficient return policy.

It is deeply regrettable that the Socialists could not support a balanced and pragmatic approach, especially when their own governments have already agreed to these measures. 

Without enforcing return decisions, there is no credible migration policy.
