“Bardella has always been attached to the international credibility of the National Rally,” said the aide, who was granted anonymity to share details of Bardella’s plans. “He will give great attention to the international press during the campaign.” Since shooting up the National Rally’s ranks in his twenties, Bardella has brought a polished professionalism to a party that long struggled to run a tight ship.

Uncertainty over fishing quotas may have made many Icelandic voters reluctant to embark on an EU membership pathway. The country voted no on 29 August on resuming negotiations with Brussels by 52.8%, with the talks between the two on hold since 2013. The campaign was fierce and, as with many crucial public votes in recent years, was also marked by inaccurate claims circulating online and among media channels. One of them involved the referendum’s main sticking point: fisheries. A few media outlets reported on talks between Iceland’s foreign affairs minister Þorgerður Katrín Gunnarsdóttir and Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten about…

By Euronews Persian Published on 02/09/2026 – 14:37 GMT+2•Updated 14:42 The US dollar broke above 2.1 million Iranian rials on Tehran’s free market on Wednesday, setting a new record as the rial lost around 60% of its value against the dollar since the start of the Iranian calendar year in March — when the dollar traded at approximately 1.35 million rials. The rial’s slide has accelerated since the US reimposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports in July, following the collapse of a short-lived ceasefire. The euro hit an unprecedented 2.55 million rials, and the UK pound reached 2,976,000 rials. The…
Kurz vor der Landtagswahl in Sachsen-Anhalt analysieren Pauline von Pezold und Frederik Schindler, wie es AfD-Spitzenkandidat Ulrich Siegmund gelungen ist, einen regelrechten Gute-Laune-Wahlkampf zu inszenieren und dabei auch viele Nichtwähler zu mobilisieren. Trotz Umfragewerten um die 40 Prozent bleibt fraglich, ob es für seine einzige Option, eine absolute Mehrheit, tatsächlich reicht. Außerdem sprechen die beiden darüber, wie gleich vier Mitarbeiter der AfD-Landtagsfraktion um Siegmund früher in der inzwischen verbotenen Neonazi-Organisation „Heimattreue Deutsche Jugend“ aktiv waren, darunter auch Fraktionsgeschäftsführer Patrick Harr und Fraktionsjustiziar Laurens Nothdurft. Eine Distanzierung von dieser Vergangenheit gibt es weder von den Betroffenen noch von Siegmund selbst. Zum…
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Wednesday that incidents such as last month’s Russian drone sabotage in Germany had become the “new normal”, marking a further escalation of Russian activity on European Union soil. “Leipzig marks a new escalation on European Union soil directly attributed to Russia, but it is part of a broader pattern of increasingly dangerous incidents,” she said, alongside NATO’s Secretary-General Mark Rutte at a press conference in Brussels. If the attack had succeeded, “this would have resulted in enormous damage, and possibly even loss of life.” “Europeans are faced with a hard truth,…
Published on 02/09/2026 – 5:52 GMT+2•Updated 6:43 Prominent Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong pleaded guilty on Wednesday to conspiracy to collude with foreign forces to endanger national security under a Beijing-imposed law that has effectively stifled the city’s once-thriving pro-democracy movement. It was the second prosecution of Wong – a former student leader in the pro-democracy movement and one of its most recognisable faces – under the national security law introduced in 2020 to quell massive anti-government protests that rocked the city a year prior. Wong, 29, who wore a blue shirt, appeared thinner as he entered his plea.…
