Wadephul said that he would meet with Energy Minister Mourad Adjal and that representatives of German companies looking for long-term contracts were travelling with him.…
The far right’s gains in the 2024 EU election disrupted the longstanding balance between the two political groups that drove lawmaking for decades. The EPP, of which the CDU is a member, has increasingly relied on right-wing majorities due to fraying cooperation with the S&D, to which the German Social Democrats belong. With polls signaling further populist gains across the bloc, Herbst and Repasi warned that unless the center repairs the relationship, more extreme voices will increasingly call the shots in Brussels. The Herbst-Repasi idea would also help reduce European Commission President von der Leyen’s political stress. Rivalry between the…

MCC Brussels, a right-wing, eurosceptic think tank and lobbying organisation founded by Viktor Orbán’s government, is shutting down after its Hungarian state-related funding dried up, director Frank Furedi told Euronews. Furedi stepped down as director on Monday in protest after the Mathias Corvinus Collegium, MCC Brussels’ parent institution in Hungary, failed to provide further funding. The Brussels-based think tank was established in 2022 with a pledge to “shake up European debate” and has maintained that it is independent, despite receiving funding from the Orbán government.
