The von der Leyen EU seems to believe that Europe’s way to prosperity is taxation and regulation, but not production and innovation, writes Ralph Schoellhammer. #SOTEU2023 brusselssignal.eu/2023/09/europe…

Coup d'État permanent de U. Von Der Leyen. Son discours de ce matin au parlement européen est une série de mensonges et d'incohérences. Urgent de nous de libérer de l'Union européenne.

VDL makes the key point: 'In a 🌎 where size and weight matter, completing Europe is our goal. The next enlargement should be a catalyst for progress. We must think big and write our own destiny.' 2024-2029 will be framed by the double cause of 🇪🇺 enlargement <> reform #SOTEU2023

At #SOTEU speech Ursula von der Leyen will outline her policy priorities to EU lawmakers. Animal legislation MUST be among the priorities
#SOTEU 2023

❌Not only #AnimalWelfare revision, but also Sustainable #FoodSystems law were forgotten in #SOTEU speech.

Ursula von der Leyen prove your “deep personal commitment to the #EUGreenDeal ' and include both proposals in the 2024 EC work programme!

#SOTEU 2023

''If it matters to Europeans, it matters to Europe'' said Ursula von der Leyen.

What about the millions of 🇪🇺 citizens who asked to #EndTheCageAge ?

Not to implement the new #animalwelfare legislation will be a democratic failure!

Internet was born to #connect people. But it gave rise to serious challenges. To lack of trust. To breaches of fundamental #rights .

U. Von Der Leyen annonce un ajout de 50 milliards € pour entretenir la guerre en Ukraine et souhaite faire entrer des nouveaux pays dans l'UE qui seront bénéficiaires nets de l'argent des Français. Les Français ne décident plus de leur politique. Assez ! #SOTEU #SOTEU 2023

Migration in the #SOTEU2023 :
➡️ EU needs qualified migration, also b/c of demographic challenge
➡️ let's get the New Pact done now
➡️ Tunisia MoU is a template, more to come
➡️ Int'l Conference on Smuggling announced
➡️ Commission to propose TPD extension for 1 more year

‼️No pone en peligro la unidad de un país aquel gobierno que impulsa el progreso social.

Quienes rompen su unidad son los que plantean una rebelión ciudadana contra los resultados democráticos que emanan de las urnas.
