Happy Europe Day to all who celebrate it. I hope I’ll be back in a member state in my lifetime. A 70 year peace, reconciliation and collaboration project, proving it is still needed in Europe today, quite apart from the economic benefits. #FBPE #EuropeDay2022 https://t.co/NgSbVNnU3A

On #EuropeDay, we celebrate peace and unity in Europe. Now, more than ever, we must uphold these fundamental values.
