Etat de droit en Europe : Le dégel des fonds destinés à la Hongrie (10,2 milliards) pourrait être annulé par la CJUE.

Les réformes requises en Hongrie n'ayant pas eu lieu.

Si cet avis est suivi, ce serait un camouflet pour la Commission (& un progrès pour la défense efficace de l'Etat de droit).

The problem is: national leaders are calling for “European autonomy” without giving it autonomy. They try to sell the fiction of Europe becoming autonomous without powers and means shifting from the national to the European level.

From the start, the focus of the Trump administration's approach to Ukraine has been on US enrichment, friendly relations with Russia, and getting everyone else to treat Russia like a great power. The survival of Ukraine and European security are entirely irrelevant.

We preliminarily found TikTok in breach of the Digital Services Act for its addictive design.

Our investigation suggests that the platform did not properly consider how these addictive features could harm the physical and mental wellbeing of its users, including children and vulnerable adults.

Striking. I've never seen 'The West' outlined on a map like this.

It really drives home that it's not 'West' at all. It is the United States and its surrounding dependencies. A fortress surrounding America spanning 4 continents.

And it is collapsing before our eyes.

If Europe goes the Rutte route, in 5 years it will be spending more on defence but still entirely reliant on an uncertain 🇺🇸security umbrella and we only find out if it's real after Russia opens the box by invading.

But if it goes the Kubilius route, in 5 years Europe will know it can defend itself.
Rutte would keep Europe reliant on a Schrödinger's NATO
The NATO Secretary-General has scolded EU lawmakers for wanting to build independent European defence. But Rutte's strategy will leave Europe dependent on a protectorate that is both alive and dead.

Marine Le Pen is funded by Russia.

"meeting yesterday with the French right wingers, including Le Pen, her husband, about refinancing the National Front Party because apparently a good part of their money comes from Russia. Two thoughts here, these guy seemed like idiots, pure Ruritania"

Loyauté des Etats européens : Un cas (rarissime) de violation du principe de coopération loyale & d'unité.

La CJUE condamne la Hongrie pour manquement au droit de l'Union.

Car par son vote dans une instance onusienne, elle a violé la position commune définie au sein de l'Union.

Super idée vraiment...
Concrètement, en quoi cette mesure va-t-elle améliorer le service des policiers et gendarmes ?
Ils auront moins peur d'utiliser leurs armes ? ça va vraiment améliorer leurs interventions ? Les dysfonctionnements sont pourtant si nombreux !

I hate that I had to write this.
It’s a terrible idea for Europe’s security to consider using the US’ military bases in Europe as leverage. Unfortunately, we’re at a stage where all options are bad - so at the very least we need to put them all on the table to decide which to use when.

«Le Mage du Kremlin» (le film) est à peu près le meilleur cadeau que nous pouvions faire au Kremlin (le vrai).
Il est conforme trait pour trait à l’image mythifiée que Moscou voudrait qu’on ait de la Russie. Le Kremlin peut remercier les auteurs pour cette aide dans sa lutte informationnelle. 1/2

En France et en Europe, nous avons des lois qui encadrent les plateformes numériques et les réseaux sociaux. Si ces plateformes veulent bénéficier de notre marché et opérer chez nous, elles doivent s’y conformer.

C’est simple.

Pascal Praud sur CNews à l'instant :

« Les gens en face sont blancs […] ce n’est pas facile pour les policiers. Voilà, ils sont obligés de s’interposer en plus avec des gens de qui ils partagent parfois les convictions et les origines »

Ils n'essayent même plus de faire semblant.

Not the European federalists were naive, but those who believed (and still do) that governance designed for the world of seventy years ago is still suitable for the world of today. Clinging to the old method is not “realism” but nostalgia.
Yet another call for the EU to reclaim agency and leave its inferiority complex!

That’s exactly what I’ve been advocating over the past 20 years, despite being dismissed as naïf.

Things are moving fast, even as our European leaders dither.

We've still had no joint response to the threats from the EU - only one from a few selected leaders. And still no action on the French proposal from *a year ago* to send a pan-European force to 🇬🇱
