On this day, 69 years ago, six countries took a leap of faith and signed the Treaty of Rome. 🇧🇪 🇩🇪 🇫🇷 🇮🇹 🇱🇺 🇳🇱

They chose cooperation over division, laying the foundations for what would become today’s European Union.

From a shared market to shared ambitions, that vision has grown far beyond economics. It’s about connection, opportunity, and celebrating what makes each member country unique.

Different languages, cultures, and histories, one common journey.

United in diversity, then and now. 💙

I'm not sure "united in diversity" is the best caption to go with an image of a bunch of middle aged white men in identical business suits.

Unity between old white dudes, and slightly less old white dudes!

@gnate To be fair, half of them were at war with the other half a decade earlier, so it's not nothing. But as far as diverse goes, it was very much the beginning, not the end.
@faduda
Indeed, onwards and upwards!
