September plenary session preparations; The Twitter Convoy exhibition

September plenary session preparations

Next week ECR MEPS will be busy preparing for the 8 - 11 September plenary session in Strasbourg. Key highlights of the session for the ECR Group include Commission President von der Leyen’s 2025 State of the Union speech, to be followed by a debate with MEPs. President of Moldova Maia Sandu will address the hemicycle on Tuesday morning. Additionally, MEPs will debate and vote on Ukraine’s EU accession preparations.

The Twitter Convoy exhibition

On Wednesday, ECR MEP and Security and Defence Committee coordinator Reinis Pozņaks will open an exhibition showcasing the work of the unique initiative known as the Twitter Convoy. Launched by MEP Pozņaks shortly after the war began with a single post on “X” (formerly Twitter), the initiative grew from its origins in Latvia into a Europe-wide movement supporting Ukraine. Since its launch, the Twitter Convoy has delivered over 3,100 vehicles — from ambulances to off-road cars — to Ukraine’s defenders on the front lines. All vehicles were donated and personally delivered by volunteers. This exhibition tells the powerful story of how a single tweet sparked a grassroots movement that continues to provide life-saving support to Ukraine. Link to the event website here.

When: Wednesday @ 13:00 - 13:30
