Policy directions: Potential European choices 2024-2029

“In a world of adversity and uncertainty, Europe must choose to stick together and dare to think and act big. To live up to the legacy of our past, to deliver for the present, and to prepare a stronger Union for the future.” (p5, Political Guidelines)

This message is a key part of the introduction to "Europe’s Choice”, an important document delivered by President Ursula von der Leyen on 18 July 2024 at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, when she was still a candidate for a second term to her mandate. Her candidature was, of course, successful.
