On this day, 35 years ago, the #VelvetRevolution began. Students gathered in Prague and demanded more democracy. A peaceful movement that changed the course of history — and still inspires Europe today.

Imagine working for free from today until the end of the year. 👩🏼‍💻 #EUEqualPayDay marks an unfair truth: the EU gender pay gap is still 12%. Our Roadmap for Women's Rights reinforces our commitment to gender equality with a long-term vision, including: 🔹 Equal pay & economic empowerment 🔹 Equal employment opportunities & adequate working conditions 🔹 Work/life balance 👩🏽‍⚖️ Equality isn’t just a goal, it’s a guarantee we owe to every woman in Europe. 🔗

We are building a Union of Equality, free from discrimination based on gender, race, religion, age, disability, or sexual orientation. 🏳️‍🌈✋🏾👩🏽‍🦯 And we’re doing it together with our citizens. From implementing a new Code of conduct on hate speech online to co-creating a rulebook to fight bullying in schools. Tolerance isn’t just a principle – it’s a practice that should go beyond the #DayForTolerance. Outcome from the EU Citizens’ Panel on Tackling Hatred 💬 https://link.europa.eu/bHVQrB

The climate crisis won’t wait. Neither will we. EU countries agreed on our new climate commitment under the Paris Agreement. At 🇧🇷 COP30, Europe stands united, committed to cutting net greenhouse gas emissions by 66.25–72.5% by 2035, compared to 1990 levels. Also, we agreed on a legally binding 2040 target of 90%, with a domestic reduction of 85% and up to 5% from international carbon credits. Ten years after Paris, we’re showing Europe delivers its climate promises, at home and globally.
