The DMA wants to make Europe’s digital markets fairer and more accessible by limiting the power of major online platforms, the so-called ‘gatekeepers”. On 28 April, the Commission concluded its first review of the DMA since its formal entry into force in 2022. Assessing the act’s implementation and enforcement, the Commission found that it “remains relevant and well-adapted to the evolving digital environment”. “I broadly agree with the European Commission’s assessment […] [but] digital markets evolve rapidly, and the framework should not be seen as static, in particular with regards to AI and cloud”, said Andreas Schwab, Member of the…
Today is World Portuguese Language Day, established in 2009 by the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP) and officially recognised by UNESCO on 25 November 2019. It is the only non-official UN language to have received this recognition. Portuguese is the official language of nine countries: Angola, Brazil, Cabo Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Equatorial Guinea, Mozambique, Portugal, São Tomé and Príncipe and Timor-Leste, and is also an official language in the Macao Special Administrative Region. According to United Nations estimates, it is a language spoken by more than 265 million people on five continents, with projections suggesting that by 2050 this number…
The international order cannot be rebuilt by Europe alone, Brazil’s EU Ambassador Pedro Miguel da Costa e Silva has told Europe Today, after Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney suggested Europe should lead efforts to restore the multilateral system. Instead, he argued all countries will have to participate in an increasingly multipolar world. “If we’re going to rebuild something, it has to be rebuilt by everybody. Europe will have an important place at the table, but you’ll need to have all other voices speaking,” Ambassador da Costa e Silva said. “Europe has a place, but I’m not convinced that (the world…
During his brief time in office, Bolojan attempted to tackle the challenges Romania faces with painful austerity plans he attempted to impose with headstrong determination. But last month the social democrats, who hold the most seats in parliament, pulled out of the prime minister’s coalition government in a show of protests against his leadership and the spending cuts that affected parts of the country they represent. The PSD’s decision to work with Simion to overthrow Bolojan may have a lasting impact on how the crisis unfolds. Simion won the most votes in the first round of last year’s presidential election…
The opinions expressed in this article are those of the author and do not represent in any way the editorial position of Euronews. Three years of working on the return of Ukraine’s stolen children has taught me to recognise a pattern so consistent it can only be called a system. Russia does not abduct children. Russia “rescues” them. It does not occupy territories. It “liberates” them. It does not erase Ukrainian identity. It “protects children from nationalist indoctrination”. The vocabulary is always the same, and always the inverse of reality. It is a deliberate cognitive operation – and it is…
“He’s a good-for-nothing who should have resigned from public service after the scandal over the inaccurate public budget forecasts,” Tanguy told POLITICO in a text message, arguing that Moulin should be held responsible for France’s budget troubles as he served at the finance ministry. The country’s far left also opposes Macron’s proposal. “Independence is one of the cornerstones of the Bank of France,” France Unbowed party member and chair of the National Assembly’s finance committee Eric Coquerel wrote in a statement, arguing that Moulin would not act independently, given his proximity to current and past governments. Under the constitution, the bank’s governor…
The EU’s 27 finance ministers have so far reacted cautiously to US President Donald Trump’s threat to impose 25% tariffs on EU cars. Meeting for an Economic and Financial Affairs Council in Brussels on Monday and Tuesday, the ministers said they would adhere to the framework agreed with the US in July 2025, which limits US tariffs on EU goods to 15%. The EU-US trade deal signed by Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is currently being negotiated by EU governments and MEPs ahead of its implementation, with the bloc committed to removing tariffs on US industrial…
Published on 05/05/2026 – 20:06 GMT+2 At least 18 people were killed in Russian strikes across Ukraine on Tuesday, Kyiv said, as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned Moscow’s “utter cynicism” for launching deadly attacks while also seeking a truce to stage its 9 May patriotic parade.

While Zelenskyy said at least five civilians were killed after Russia attacked the centre of the eastern city of Kramatorsk, the last hub under Kyiv’s control in the Donetsk region, and warned the death…
Guilfoyle, a former prosecutor and Fox News host who was once married to California Governor Gavin Newsom and was later engaged to Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., made the statement while speaking to journalists from Greece’s national public broadcaster (ERT) during a visit to its headquarters. In a recent interview with Breitbart — the self-proclaimed “platform of the alt right” —Greece’s Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said Trump should expect a very warm reception in Greece should he visit. “He’s going to have a good time,” he said. “Greeks very much take pride in our hospitality.” President Donald Trump praised Greece…
Published on 05/05/2026 – 19:25 GMT+2 The son of Myanmar’s ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi demanded France’s help in seeking independently verified proof of his mother’s life on Tuesday after she was transferred to house arrest, her lawyers said. The country’s junta chief-turned-president Min Aung Hlaing ordered the 80-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner to be moved on Thursday, five years after putting her into detention following a military coup in 2021. But her son, Kim Aris, says he has still not heard from his mother, who remains massively popular inside Myanmar. “I implore France to join my call so…
