"The flames of bonfires lit up the night in the Baltic states. A thousand fireworks coloured the sea around Malta and Cyprus, and the lakes of Slovenia. And the Ode to Joy resonated in the cities of Central and Eastern Europe. It wasn’t just the birth of a larger Union, it was the birth of a new era." — Speech by President @vonderleyen at the #EPlenary marking #20YearsTogether
@EU_Commission Such a beautiful celebration of unity and hope!
@EU_Commission From bonfires in the Baltic states to fireworks in Malta and Cyprus, and the sounds of the Ode to Joy echoing across Central and Eastern Europe, the birth of a larger Union marked the dawn of a new era.
@EU_Commission Ode to Joy, Hitlers favourite.
@EU_Commission Celebrating the ruination of European countries by US policy to cut industry and agriculture and force dependence and poverty onto EU citizens.
@EU_Commission There is only one big bonfire we want to see now. The EU, its institutions and Treaties. As for "ode to joy", wasn't that the theme to a Clockwork Orange?, a film about psycopaths pursuing unspeakable gratuitous violence. A song to mask the evil. How apt it is the EU's anthem
