Happy to see the reception @Tsihanouskaya received in Portugal. Her fight & that of the Belarusian people is the same fight the Portuguese had almost 47years ago. She was born in 1982 when 🇵🇹further consolidated its democracy. Time to see in Minsk what Lisbon saw in 1974.

A Ukrainian victory in the war of aggression Russia launched should not be a new year’s wish. It should be the #EU , #US & #G7 strategic goal for 2024. Strategic thinking should replace wishful thinking. Our goal: ‘to defeat Russia’, should be clear. Ways & means must follow now!

For all authoritarians, freedom is scary. This is how it looks like. The possibility to be who you are, love whom you want, vote as you like, say what you think, gather as you want, criticise, praise, or be indifferent. Freedom is the most precious gift that we have. Fight for it

One may disagree with Europe’s think-tanker-in-chief or dislike his style or approach, but at least @EmmanuelMacron has thought, even doctrine, on European affairs. It is always a great intellectual pleasure to read him. I just hope the think tanker has impact on the president.

From a geopolitical to a ‘geo-damaged’ Commission

Indeed When I came out to my parents (very late), my 70yr-old dad said: ‘I would prefer you not to be...’ ‘Well, me too,’ I thought at the time. Today, no way. It’s what I am, but not what defines me. Character, ethics & respect towards others is what defines us. Don’t hate!

Being gay is not an ideology, it’s who you are. Just like being black or white or a woman or a man. In Europe, nobody should be attacked or excluded for who they are. LGBTI-free zones are a manifestation of an ideology that brought Europe only misery and violence. Say NO to hate!

The argument that #EU disunity is a gift to Mr Putin is correct, but it is even a bigger gift to Mr Putin to tell Ukraine 'you do not belong in EU' - this will be the message that the Kremlin's propaganda machine will drive full speed if Kyiv is not granted candidate status.
