Congratulations President @LulaOficial! You show Brasil is unique, with self respect and does not take orders from noone. Respect for a lifetime fighting for the working class! 🇧🇷🇪🇺
Congratulations @StudentskaList for your win tonight! Serbia deserves a European life, with rule of law, prosperity and friendship! Your fight will write European history! 🇷🇸🇪🇺💚

All data points to a turnout of over 70% (without diaspora votes) - effectively meaning 90% of eligible voters in Serbia voted, as the Voters Register is hugely inflated.
This means the numbers are close to the level of 2000, when Serbia overthrew Milošević!

Good luck to President @LulaOficial in Brasil’s presidential elections. Bolsonaro Jr, raised w a silver spoon, called him a ‘nine finger’. Lula lost a finger working as a youth. Spoiled brats of corrupt billionaires do not deserve power. Good luck Brasil 🇧🇷
I would like to extend my respect and support for the people of Hungary, who commemorate 70 years from an act of European bravery, standing up to Russian tanks in the 1956 Revolution. Today, we need Hungary back in the core of Europe. A hősök sohasem halnak meg! 🇭🇺🇪🇺💚@GreensEFA
With my election of @GreensEFA Co-Chair, I finish today my mandate as EP Vice President. I would like to thank Roberta Metsola, a great and inclusive @EP_President and all members of the bureau.
We have been calling for a digital tax. Techbros need to be paying their fare share and EU citizens need their privacy and digital rights respected. @GreensEFA welcome the proposal to have an own resource from digital taxation!
The Irish presidency's MFF Nego Box is a disgrace. Massive budget cuts will weaken the EU at the worst possible moment.
35k+ deaths this summer show we need more funding, not less civil protection.
Standing with the leaders of S&D, Renew, & EPP, we will not endorse this MFF.
It is an honour to have been elected Co Chair of the @GreensEFA together with Co Chair @TerryReintke. These are serious times. We will fight hard for Europe, its people and the planet!

We know from intelligence and some people around Putin that at the beginning of September Putin said, “No rules now.” The Russians couldn’t occupy us. So now they are doing massive attacks and massive killings. And of course they want to go after our bridges and, from what we understand, after our data centers, internet, cell network, hospitals, kindergartens, schools, universities – everything. They want people to run away from their cities, and we need to do everything to save our people and cities.
F-16s destroy 50 to 60% of jet drones now. This is one way, and we work a lot on getting weapons for F-16s. The second way is fast interceptors. Now we have five interceptors being tested. One day they are 70% effective, the other day – 30%. So, answering the question “When can we scale up the production?” – we don’t have billions to produce a million interceptors which will not work. Engines are key. We import a lot and produce some, but these numbers are not enough.
So out of these 5 samples, some were used five times, some ten, and some only once. But you had one, and destroyed one Russian drone. This is the problem. I don’t know the exact date, but in October, we will have 400 of these interceptors. And it is normal when you use 400 interceptors over several days of attacks, and you say, “Look, guys, sorry, but it destroys only 10%. It doesn’t work.” Or, for example, if it is 30% or more, “Great, guys, you have to work a little bit on it, and when the percentage is 60–70% – huge success.”

În noaptea de 26 septembrie, sistemul de supraveghere radar al Ministerului Apărării Naționale a detectat o țintă aeriană ce evolua în zona localității Chilia Veche, în proximitatea frontierei fluviale.
Centrul Național Militar de Comandă a notificat Inspectoratul General pentru Situații de Urgență cu privire la instituirea măsurilor de alertare a populației din nordul județului Tulcea, iar la ora 23.32 a fost transmis un mesaj RO-Alert.
Două aeronave F-18 ale Forțelor Aeriene și Spațiale Spaniole, aflate în serviciul de luptă Poliție Aeriană Întărită și un elicopter IAR-330 SOCAT al Forțelor Aeriene Române, au decolat pentru monitorizarea situației.
Potrivit semnalelor radar, ținta aeriană a pătruns în spațiul aerian național în apropiere de Chilia Veche, urmând pentru câteva minute un traseu aproape paralel cu brațul Chilia. Semnalul radar cu ținta a fost pierdut în zona Pardina.
Alerta aeriană a încetat la ora 00.48.
The basic direction in which our history goes, left to itself, is morbid.
Ecological collapse. Uncontrolled reign of AI. World wars.
We need to raise the emergency brake.

Canada and the EU closer together! Canada’s associate member status gives hope to the world of values and rules. People with the same values need to stick together. I would have liked to hear more on renewables, but was touched by @MarkJCarney speech today in the Parliament.
All European must show solidarity to Europe’s Eastern flank. Same goes for the East being in solidarity with the Nordics, or the Southerners. We live together or die separately.
We will not defeat the far right by pointing fingers. We need to fight them, beat them at their own game and especially win the people. There is no other way than winning back hearts and minds. Stop fearing, start fighting!
Maybe we can start talking clearly and without fear or wellwishing of the effective and present security threat Russia is to Europe.
Mark Rutte @SecGenNATO przekazał mi właśnie swoją ocenę sytuacji w regionie i na froncie ukraińsko-rosyjskim. Tak jak ostrzegałem, eskalacja ze strony Rosji postępuje. Ukraina potrzebuje większego wsparcia w powietrzu, co ma także znaczenie dla naszego bezpieczeństwa. To zadanie dla całej Europy. Najbliższe pół roku będzie rozstrzygające i musimy być przygotowani jako Polska i NATO na różne scenariusze. Nie możemy wykluczyć prowokacji ze strony Rosji wobec któregoś z członków NATO.
We are near the people of Nepal, the EU will deliver much needed help. Climate change affects us all.
WHO is on the ground in #Nepal, responding to the devastating flash floods delivering emergency care, and supplies where they are needed most.

A recent spike in traffic on Russia’s southern border with Georgia comes amid increasingly aggressing recruitment measures and worries of another military call-up.
