A renowned historian specialising in tyranny and totalitarianism, Timothy Snyder writes and teaches with the hope that we might learn from history. In 2019, the ERSTE Foundation, which cites the preservation of a democratic Europe as one of its strategic goal, invited the Yale professor to deliver a speech to Europe.

Powerful. Moving. Visionary. There were speeches in the history of the European Union that have made Europe the way it is today. François Mitterrand was elected President of France in 1981 and re-elected in 1988. During his presidency, the Berlin Wall fell, Europe reunited, enlarged to 15 Member States and became the European Union. In the last months of his mandate, he shared his vision for Europe with the European Parliament, culminating in a moving plea for peace.

Here is an abstract from Louise Weiss' speech delivered in the European Parliament in 1979. Born in 1893, Louise Weiss was a peace activist, writer and film-maker, as well as a prominent journalist on European affairs and a champion of women’s rights. The year 1979 was pivotal for the European Parliament: it was no longer Member States, but citizens, who chose their representatives. On 17 July 1979, the first directly-elected European Parliament – as we know it today – held its inaugural session. It was chaired by its eldest member, Louise Weiss.

LUX Audience Award 2023: statement by Sabine VERHEYEN (EPP, DE), Chair of the EP Committee on Culture and Education

MEPs also suggest exemptions in EU state aid rules to allow member state support for video game developers. Statement by Laurence FARRENG (Renew, FR), rapporteur and extracts from the debate.

I get safer food and products. I get cleaner air and water. I get the ability to live and work wherever I want. I get to call home at domestic prices no matter where I am in the EU. I get to pay using one currency in 19 different countries. These are just some of the things I get from the EU.

What do I get from the EU?

What does the EU do for us? It makes sure our food and products are safe. It connects Europe with safe infrastructure that makes travel cheaper and easier. The single market gives job opportunities to millions of EU citizens.  And calling home from any EU country is now cheaper than ever.  Not bad, right?

What has the EU ever done for me?

The President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, would like to share a message with all the teachers and students who are part of the European Parliament Ambassador School (EPAS) programme.
