🇬🇧 🇪🇺 Today's #EuropeDay is a symbol of unity, peace and freedom in Europe. But these values are only worth as much as we are prepared to fight for them. And that's what we #Pirates have been doing for you in the EU Parliament for almost 10 years! #ChatControl#EHDS#BMS
9th May marks the date of the Schuman Declaration signing in 1950, laying the foundations for the EU we know today, in which we built the #EUSpace Programme.
In 2024, we celebrate this date a month ahead of the EU Elections, don't forget to #UseYourVote!
Today, on 9 May, we celebrate our unity and solidarity.
A month ahead of the #EUelections2024 (6-9 June), it is the perfect day to share your wishes for Europe and reflect on which EU you want in the future.
Tomorrow, we will celebrate the anniversary of the Schuman Declaration –, a milestone in our history that set the foundation for the European Union as we know it today.
👴🏻 : “Europe will not be made all at once, or according to a single plan. It will be built through concrete achievements which first create a de facto solidarity.”
Let’s continue to work to build a brighter, more united future for all of us.
The European Union’s anthem turns 2⃣0⃣0⃣ today and it is time to celebrate Ludwig van Beethoven’s masterpiece!
Composed in 1824, the excerpt from the prelude to Beethoven's Ninth Symphony was adopted as the anthem of the EU in 1985 and is one of the most known symbols of our unity. It speaks volumes through its melody, embodying the shared European ideals of freedom, peace, and solidarity.
One anthem, a whole Union. Happy birthday, Ode to joy!
Many ideas were submitted to the Council of Europe in the 1950s, but the 🇪🇺 EU flag was unanimously adopted on 8 December 1955.
Seven decades on, the flag embodies the values of unity, solidarity, diversity and harmony and is the most recognisable symbol of our European identity.
Shades of blue and yellow adorned most emblematic landmarks of the world in celebration of #EuropeDay.
Thank you for this heartwarming gesture of unity.
