President Metsola opened the 10-13 February 2025 session with a minute’s silence for the victims of shooting in Örebro - the worst in Sweden’s history. Calling on MEPs to observe a minute’s silence for the victims of the mass shooting at Risbergska school in Örebro on Tuesday 4 February 2025, President Metsola called the tragedy “a senseless act of violence that claimed innocent lives, shattering families, and scarring communities. Europe mourns those who have been lost, and our thoughts are with their loved ones, with all those who have been injured, and with the people of Sweden in this moment of profound sorrow.” She added that “hatred and violence have no place in Europe. T

he values that unite us - peace, democracy, and the dignity of human life - will always prevail.”

EU Sweden

For many years, Sweden had chosen to remain outside the European construction. It was in the 1990s that the idea of membership was born, being in the interest of the country to participate in the decisions that affect Sweden due to its geographical and economic situation.&nbsp;The official application for membership happened in July 1991. Extensive negotiations were undertaken and after a referendum that gave a majority in favour of the accession, Sweden joined the EU in 1995. Sweden has 20 seats in the European Parliament and 10 votes in the EU Council.

&lt;p>I Europeiska unionen kan demokratin kännas som en självklarhet för oss i dag. Men så har det inte alltid varit. För inte så länge sedan levde miljontals européer under förhållanden då de inte kunde rösta eller ens tala fritt. Deras liv kunde vara i fara bara för att de var annorlunda, hade andra övertygelser eller ville ha ett annat liv. Demokratin är en värdefull gåva som vi fått ta över från tidigare generationer. De hoppades på den och stred för den. Nu är det upp till oss att bevara den, att göra den starkare och föra den vidare till kommande generationer. Det effektivaste sättet att göra det är att rösta – för ju fler som röstar, desto starkare blir demokratin. 6–9 juni 2024: Använd din röst, annars bestämmer andra åt dig.&lt;/p>&lt;p>© ANDCO A/S, 2024.
