Where is the EU? Probably on the train you are riding, while reading this post. 🚉 Our #CohesionPolicy has been the bonding agent to help reduce the social and economic disparities in our Union – making it stronger and fairer for every citizen. Among others, it has supported building transport infrastructure in urban areas, home to over two-thirds of the EU's population. For example, it helped build the: 🇮🇹 metro line 1 and 6 in Naples 🇬🇷 expansion of Athens Metro Line 3 to Piraeus 🇷🇴 extension of Bucharest metro 🇵🇱 metro line 2 in Warsaw Discover more projects supported in your country by using our interactive map ➡️ https://europa.eu/!F3MDfV 📷 AdobeStock 1 Toledo metro station interior in Naples by Savvapanf Photo © 2 Piraeus Metro Station Platform Greece by markobe 3 Otopeni, airport train station by Agata Kadar 4 Warsaw, Rondo Daszynskiego metro subway station by wierzchu92 EU Funds #EuropeanUnion #EUfunded

  • Interior view of Piraeus Metro Station Platform. There is a high, arched glass roof, an orange train on the left platform, and empty benches on the central platform under bright lighting.
  • view of the airport train station in Bucharest. It is composed with a large, arched glass and metal canopy, surrounded by green plants and clear blue skies visible through the structure.
  • view of the platform of the Rondo Daszynskiego metro subway station. An artistic mural reproduces the name of the station on a red background.

Ha contribuito con soldi nostri precedentemente versati... Così come per tutti i finanziamenti U€. O no...? Solo che, invece di decidere noi come stato, dobbiamo sottostare aile Vostre condizioni per poterli riavere... Un gioco perverso a nostro discapito che non ci permette di pianificare il nostro sviluppo. Questo il Vs. concetto di Unione, comandate Voi con i nostri soldi...

Yes, this is true that the #EU has contributed A LOT to the development of #transportation, notably in #Poland. Not only in #Warsaw though.... Also in my tiny little hometown in the south of Poland. By train, I can reach #Cracow in 45 minutes, and Katowice - the second nearby city - in just under half an hour! Vive l'UE!

Y en mi país, ¿ cuándo vais a eliminar la pobreza? Soy española, de galicia. Y también, me pregunto, cuándo vais a eliminar la delincuencia en galicia. De qué, sirve tanta inversión centralizada y convertir los pueblos en suburbios abandonados. Las poblaciones de 10.000 habitantes, no somos europeos de primera clase y si embargo pagamos impuestos, igual que los ciudadanos de primera clase de las ciudades. Va, siendo hora de aplicar políticas justas en la comunidad europea. A mi país, nadie le salvo del dictador Franco, aquí nadie vino a salvarnos.

Just a reminder, since 2008 the BG citizens have benefited from the EU funding of the multiple lines of the Sofia Metro. As of 2024, the Sofia Metro consists of four interconnected lines, serving 47 stations, with a total route length of 52.0 kilometres (32.3 mi) and among the top 20 of the most extensive European metro systems, ranking 14th as of 2023. https://www.railwaypro.com/wp/sofia-metro-l3-to-receive-eib-funding/

Today, Russia again attacked Kyiv, my hometown. It attacked the sick children of the largest Ukrainian children's hospital, the women in labor at the maternity hospital, and the doctors who were standing in the operating room at that moment and saving the lives of the little ones. Targeted, in front of the whole world, in the sun light. On the eve of the NATO summit in Washington to demonstrate their impunity and weakness of the world. I appeal to my foreign friends, to Ukrainian diaspora. Pls, appeal to your government officials to give us more weapons and lift any restrictions on their use! Spread the information to everyone you know! Do not get tired of helping the Ukrainian Armed Forces! Do what you can, but do not be silent and do not get used to the fact that we are being killed. An entire nation is being killed. War is hell. We are in it. Our defenders are bravely holding the frontline at the cost of their lives. Please help us!

The rules require to give sufficient visibility to these investments as being EU-funded, however you should better enforce these requirements. A small hidden placard that a certain infrastructure is EU-funded is insufficient and it does not inform enough the citizens which are using the infrastructure locally.
