WW2 truly ended in Eastern Europe in 1989.

My favourite thing about being in the EU. There's a lot to love about being in the EU:

✓ Freedom to move and work

✓ Forming a trading powerhouse

✓ Ensuring consumer rights and safe products

✓ Backing up human rights and rule of law

✓ Maintaining the peace

✓ Creating a Europe-wide solidarity corps

✓ Allowing scientists share research and resources

✓ Eliminating roaming

✓ Erasmus

✓ Health insurance that works anywhere

✓ The right to visit any EU embassy and get help

✓ Education certificates recognised anywhere in EU

✓ Pooling resources to spend more cleverly and work together

But my absolute favourite thing about the EU is the optimism of an incredibly unlikely project. It is easier to divide people than to bring them together. It is easier to tear things down than it is to build them. It is easier to whimper and panic in the face of a challenge than to face it. But that is not what the European Union is about. The EU brings together instead of dividing. The EU builds things when others would tear them down. And more than anything else, the EU faces its challenges with the ambition and determination that the European people deserve.

Happy Europe Day my friends 🇪🇺
