I'm learning with great concern of new arrests of opposition mayors in Türkiye, including Mersin Mayor and TBB acting President Vahap Seçer. Mr Seçer has been a key counterpart for the CoR and is due to host our next Working Group meeting in Ankara on 6 November.

The next EU budget for migration management needs to better match local needs.

🔥 This summer brought already extreme heatwaves. Climate adaptation objectives must not be weakened and need adequate funding.
The opinion on "Mainstreaming climate, energy and environmental priorities across the MFF" by @trzaskowski_ was adopted at the #CoRPlenary.

🔥Europe is suffering under yet another heatwave.
Heat is a silent killer - and its impacts are managed directly by regions and cities. That's why local authorities need to be full partners in global negotiations.

Our thoughts are with the people of Kyiv and all Ukrainian cities again targeted by Russia's brutal attacks. We stand in solidarity with Mayor @Vitaliy_Klychko and every community affected. Ukraine's strength lies in its people. Their courage, resilience and hope remain unbroken.

Europe can achieve its ambitious climate goals, but only if we radically strengthen implementation. The direction is European, yet action happens in our cities and regions—where clean technologies are deployed, investments are made and public support is built. @mmarkkula
Achieving 🇪🇺's 2030 climate & energy targets requires massive investment in electricity grids at regional & local level. EU funding must help modernise these networks, reduce the cost of the energy transition & deliver more affordable energy for citizens. @HannaZdanowska
Every solar panel installed on a school roof and every heat pump manufactured in Europe strengthens our energy security while creating jobs, driving innovation and supporting sustainable economic growth. @vlasta_krmelj
The future of EU fisheries depends on clear political choices: generational renewal, a strong dedicated budget, and recognition of fishermen’s commitment to sustainability.
Protecting our oceans & keeping Europe’s fishing sector competitive must go hand in hand. @LopezMirasF
In Cantabria, fisheries are not just an industry — they are identity, culture and community.
A 67% cut to EU fisheries funding is unacceptable. Europe must preserve a dedicated fisheries fund with at least the current budget to protect this strategic sector. @misabelurrutia
If we want #CAP reform to succeed, we must build it together with farmers in every European village. Without them, reform will only create more bureaucracy, holding back investment, innovation, and the future of European agriculture. @PiotrCalbecki
Europe cannot afford delay.
Ahead of UN CBD #COP17 and UNFCCC #COP31, we call for a faster break from fossil fuels, stronger climate resilience and investment in nature.
Regions and cities must be at the table — because they deliver Europe’s green commitments. @KBakoyannis
Europe must seize this moment to modernise its budget so it can truly deliver on security & resilience. But let us be clear: we cannot do more with less. A credible & ambitious MFF requires new, sustainable sources of funding and a strengthened system of own resources @sarirautio

450 billion euros for EU cohesion 2028–2034. At least 218 billion for less developed regions. Harghita County qualifies. But only regions that prepare NOW will receive it. Attended the @ @EPP_CoR conference in Trnava today. The clock is ticking.
