🇪🇺⭐🇪🇺⭐🇪🇺 May 9th 🇪🇺⭐🇪🇺⭐🇪🇺
Happy #EuropeDay my fellow #Europeans !
This year marks 75 Years since the Schuman Declaration.

Our union is not perfect. It never will be. Neither are you, neither am I.
Let's stand next to one another, work together and make it better every day.
The results will be better than what we can imagine.
💪🏻🇪🇺

Happy #EuropeDay 🥳 🥂

#European citizens
Some of us may not like #Europe. The rules " #Brussels " imposes on us.
Maybe you glorify "the good old days". Yet a United Europe is our best shot.
We will face competition from the US, China &...
Either we compete or will be subjected to their rule.

May 9th = Europe Day! 🥳🇪🇺
2025 marks 75 years since the Schuman Declaration of 1950.
Let's celebrate our democracy in solidarity and unity! 🥂🇪🇺🎉
Share your Postcards from Europe.

Not for conquest, nor for show,🪖
But from our leanest, strongest grow💪🏻
A shield of steel🛡️, a thunder's might🌩️,
Forged in the fires ⚔️ of pure right.⚖️

The spared coin, the future's hold,
To arm the brave, the fiercely bold.
If malice rises, let shadows creep,
They'll find a harvest they can't keep.
