We wrap up two very fruitful days in The Hague with our International Secretaries, more united, more determined and ready for the challenges of 2027.
One conviction unites us: our values are not just our heritage. They are our strength for the future.
The EPP helped build the Europe we know today. And we stand ready to shape the Europe of tomorrow.
#ISRTheHague
We defeated totalitarianism, overcame communism, and we will prevail over populism because we have something stronger than any threat:
Our values.
The trust of citizens.
And the confidence that we can deliver freedom, order and prosperity.
On the second day of #ISRTheHague, we analyse the 2027 electoral landscape, a decisive year for Europe’s future.
They thrive on fear. We build on trust.
Europe must be built on hope.
But hope needs political ambition.
Our values have defined Europe’s identity. And today, those values must be matched by the power to act, the speed to deliver and the ambition to grow.
At #ISRTheHague, we reflected on how to continue shaping Europe’s future, guided by our Christian Democratic values.
A Europe that gives the next generation reasons to believe in it.
Principles, values and long-term vision: the foundations to serve people and build a better future.
“Political leadership means not following the opinion polls, but staying on course. Being honest about what is necessary, and hopeful about what is possible”, said @HenriBontenbal today in #ISRTheHague
🇪🇺 Our EPP International Secretaries gather in The Hague for two days of reflection, debate and a shared ambition: shaping Europe’s future.
Preserving our identity, strengthening our democracies and engaging with Europeans abroad in an increasingly challenging geopolitical landscape will be at the heart of our discussions.
Rooted in our values.
United in our purpose.

Seguo con profonda preoccupazione le notizie del tragico scontro tra due treni avvenuto a Toledo, in Spagna, che ha provocato vittime e feriti.
Il nostro Consolato Generale a Madrid è al lavoro per verificare l’eventuale coinvolgimento di cittadini italiani e fornire tutta l’assistenza necessaria.
Il mio pensiero va alle famiglie delle vittime, ai feriti, al Re Felipe VI, al Governo e a tutto il popolo spagnolo, cui esprimo la mia vicinanza in questo terribile momento di dolore.

Honoured to attend the commemorations of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution in Budapest.
70 years ago, Hungarians rose up against oppression.
They fought for freedom, democracy and justice.
The very values at the heart of Europe today.
Their courage lives on.
EPP retweeted
The martyrs of 1956 gave their lives for freedom.
Their memory reminds us that the triumph of democracy is not inevitable.
Every generation must fight to renew our freedoms and reenergise our democracy ↓ nitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1yxBePgvX…
The right to peaceful protest must be fully respected.
Any allegations of excessive, unlawful and disproportionate use of force must be promptly, thoroughly and independently investigated, with law enforcement acting at all times in a proportionate manner.
Albania’s future lies in a democratic, prosperous, and European path, with an accountable government, the rule of law, fight of corruption and a future of opportunity at home.
Any unlawful violence and attacks from all sides, especially against property and personal integrity, have no place in a democracy as the current tensions have to be addressed through dialogue, de-escalation and democratic engagement.
The voice of young people must be heard and their right to peacefully protests protected.
