@anthonyzach.beGood to see @rtbf.be morning news doing the whole show live from Strasbourg focusing on European issues, interviewing MEPs and previewing #soteu. Belgium is a special case of course but this level of European coverage is good for public knowledge and democracy.
@sophia-russack.bsky.social🇪🇺🎙️ It's #SOTEU day! Von der Leyen gives her 6th State of the Union today, the 2nd of her current term - a ritual with no basis in the EU Treaties, born from a 2010 EP-Commission pact. Meant to boost accountability, it's also become a presidential power show. Next: the 2027 Work Programme in October
@grimmse.bsky.socialSo spezifisch wie nötig, so vage wie möglich: heute hält @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu ihre sechste Rede zur Lage der Union. diepresse.com/41263737 #SOTEU
@torekeller.bsky.socialNår Ursula von der Leyen onsdag holder sin #SOTEU -tale i dag, vil hun både tale om børns brug af nettet, migration, geopolitik og økonomi.
Men flertallet bag hende vakler, og tiden rinder ud. Det er nu, hun skal levere sit politiske svendestykke.
@euroefe.bsky.socialVon der Leyen pronuncia este miércoles su discurso del Estado de la UE para dar el pistoletazo de salida al curso político comunitario y marcar sus próximas prioridades legislativas.

@alexhinojo.bsky.socialSince last #SOTEU @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu delivered several milestones. However, industrial ambitions stalled due to bureaucracy. Cutting red tape while adding red tape.
Bridging this gap between high-level policy design and actual delivery is the real challenge.
@davekeating.substack.comAs Russia comes closer and closer to direct attacks on NATO, officials in Brussels are growing increasingly nervous.
And there is anger here that France has chosen this moment to block renewal of Russian sanctions - the day before 🇪🇺President von der Leyen's #SOTEU speech.

@raphaelweyland.bsky.socialCenter-right politicians @eppgroup.bsky.social must be crazy when asking to double down on #deregulation of environment. As if there was no apocalyptic summer with forest fires (nearly-evacuation of Bordeaux) + droughts hitting businesses + farmers! #SOTEU #DontLookUp cc @maxgriera.bsky.social

@amnestyeu.bsky.socialAt this #SOTEU, @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu must finally propose an EU ban of trade with Israel's illegal settlements.
She cannot simply blame member states. She must actively engage with them - especially 🇮🇹 & 🇩🇪 - to pass her proposals, to comply with the EU's international obligations.
@amnestyeu.bsky.socialSince last year's #SOTEU, Israel has continued its genocide, killing 10,000 more Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
Emboldened by impunity, Israeli authorities are accelerating the annexation of the West Bank through an ethnic cleansing campaign.
@amnestyeu.bsky.socialAhead of @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu's #SOTEU speech,
@amnesty.org & @hrw.org call for urgent EU action on Israel.
She must make good on past promises to suspend the EU Israel Association Agreement & finally present a ban on trade with illegal Israeli settlements 👇 www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...
