Resisting calls to step down from parliament, Ábalos has spent the past year sitting with the “Mixed Group” of lawmakers from smaller far-left and nationalist political parties, but has consistently voted in favor of draft laws submitted by the Socialists. His continued support has given Prime Minister Pedro Sa´nchez and his left-wing allies a crucial one-vote edge over the 171-seat opposition bloc made up of the center-right People’s Party, the far-right Vox group and the Navarrese conservatives. Although Ábalos’ imprisonment implies the automatic suspension of his rights as a lawmaker, he retains his seat until he has exhausted all possible…

At the center of the strategy is carbon, the fundamental building block of a wide range of manufactured products, not just energy. Almost all plastic, for example, is made from carbon, and currently most of that carbon comes from oil and natural gas. But fossil fuels have two major drawbacks: they pollute the atmosphere with planet-warming CO2, and they are mostly imported from outside the EU, compromising the bloc’s strategic autonomy. The bioeconomy strategy aims to address both drawbacks by using locally produced or recycled carbon-rich biomass rather than imported fossil fuels. It proposes doing this by setting targets in…
NASA astronaut Chris Williams flew aboard the Soyuz MS 28 spacecraft with Sergei Mikaev and Sergei Kud Sverchkov, joining the station’s long term crew for an eight month stay.

Teresa Ribera — qui, en tant que première vice-présidente exécutive de la Commission, est la numéro 2 de l’exécutif européen derrière la présidente Ursula von der Leyen — a souligné que la réglementation européenne du numérique ne devrait pas avoir de lien avec les négociations commerciales.

Washington considère le DMA comme discriminatoire, parce que les grandes plateformes technologiques qu’il réglemente — comme Microsoft, Google…
Lifted by crane early on 27 November, it stands beside the area where a Nativity scene from the Nocera region in Campania will be installed. The tree was harvested with care and donated by the municipalities of Lagundo and Ultimo, which are also providing smaller trees for Vatican offices ahead of Christmas 2025. This year’s Nativity draws on local sites such as the Baptistery of Nocera Superiore and the Helvius Fountain, with figures shaped around everyday life in the region. The spruce will remain on the square until 12 January 2026, continuing a tradition that began in 1982.
The war in Ukraine has shown the importance of space assets, both for intelligence gathering and secure communications. Europe is also looking to cut its reliance on U.S. companies, including Elon Musk’s SpaceX. In one example of the shift, the ESA’s new dual-use Earth observation project dubbed the European Resilience from Space, could have both civilian and military applications. Poland played a leading role in pushing for the ESA to be more involved in defense, the agency’s Director General Josef Aschbacher told reporters. Warsaw and the organization are currently discussing setting up a new ESA centre in Poland that would…

In Gießen will die AfD am Wochenende ihre neue Jugendorganisation gründen: „Generation Deutschland“. Die alte Junge Alternative gilt als verbrannt und doch rückt die neue Jugend inhaltlich kaum von den alten radikalen Positionen ab. Im Zentrum steht Jean-Pascal Hohm, bestens vernetzt in der rechtsextremen Szene, nun designierter Chef des neuen Verbands. Nach außen moderater, im Kern unverändert hart. Frederik Schindler und Pauline von Pezold analysieren, wie die AfD die Jugend enger unter Parteikontrolle bringen will, welche Machtkämpfe, besonders in Nordrhein-Westfalen, die Wahl überschatten und warum das Antragsbuch bewusst klein gehalten wurde, um inhaltliche Debatten zu verhindern. Das Berlin Playbook als…
