Good to see in the priorities:
– Treaty Change & Enlargement
– Own resources & Defence Union 
– Support to Ukraine, Rule of Law & fight against climate crisis

Glad to see a step to a pro-European coalition and an agenda for integration, building autonomy and necessary EU reforms.

I’m all for European countries strengthening their militaries, but any talk about a European defence union (or similar) confuses me to no end.

Especially after Finland and Sweden joining, for practical purposes everyone is already in NATO. What purpose does an overlapping system serve?

Stronger European militaries –> stronger European arm of NATO, sounds like a good thing for sure.

At least spell it correctly, not the American way. “Defence” instead of “defense”.
