#GuyVerhofstadt speaking at #EuropeanMovement in #Scotland annual dinner:

“We are at a turning point in Europe’s story. The European Union is one of the greatest political achievements of history. It brought 80 years of peace, stability, growing prosperity and liberal democracy to the continent. All the evidence is that the people of Scotland and of the UK wish they were still in the EU."

1/2…

‘Het is vrijdagavond’ geeft vaak een pavlov-effect.
- bij velen volgt ‘hoera, weekend!’
- bij sommigen en mezelf: ‘een verse #alleenelvis!’
🤤

To be honest, I don't really care. For the first time I can say perhaps I have some empathy for Trump supporters. Guy was The Man to stand up to #Brexit bullshit. He could and can run rings around #nigelfartage bullshit. He still supports UK rejoining EU. I give him a LOT of slack.

Here in continental Europe we have to be thankful that Britain did the stupidest, stupidest thing and left the EU.

Thank you so, so much for demonstrating to each and every citizen in every other member state the value of being in the EU and the cost of leaving it.

UK is welcome back to our club any time. Just need to adopt a few simple rules:

No government corruption
€ currency
No rebate
No tax havens
SI units

Russia may not have invaded Ukraine had Britain remained in the EU, a leading MEP in the Brexit negotiations has claimed.

Guy Verhofstadt, prime minister of Belgium from 1999 to 2008 and an MEP since 2009, suggested President Putin was emboldened because Europe was less united.
