The 53-year-old pediatrician emerged as a figurehead in a wave of protests against the country’s political establishment, following the crash and a perceived cover-up by the authorities. She ultimately alienated many people, however, with comments that veered close to right-wing populism on topics such as abortion rights and relations with Turkey. “Her positions are very reminiscent of [Italy’s] 5Star Movement, but with a much stronger patriotic and nationalist slant and a focus on corruption,” Seriatos said. “While it started with moral capital and it seemed that many people would be receptive to what it had to say politically, she is…

By Hun Kim, Chief Partnerships Officer, of the AIIB (Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank), a multilateral development bank headquartered in Beijing Published on 26/05/2026 – 21:28 GMT+2 Digital infrastructure is the backbone of economic growth, but investment in this space has been uneven.

For Kyiv, “there are no alternatives for the fast, merit-based, but full membership in the European Union,” Taras Kachka, Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration, said in an exclusive interview with Euronews. Earlier this month, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz pitched the idea that Ukraine could become an “associate member” of the EU before becoming a fully-fledged member state. Kachka rejected the idea, calling it “unacceptable if it is an alternative to full membership.” He stated that Ukraine needs a “fast, comprehensive, normal accession process that will end with the signing of a treaty of accession under…
Salvini’s comments are likely to heighten tensions between the Italian government and the Agnelli-Elkann family, the largest single shareholder in Ferrari and the global carmaker Stellantis. The controversial Luce — the first Ferrari model to be fully electric and to have five seats — immediately sparked outrage among purists in Italy. It also didn’t immediately convince investors, with Ferrari’s stock dropping by more than eight percent on Tuesday. The four-door Ferrari, branded as “the most comfortable Ferrari ever” — hardly an on-brand endorsement for a carmaker synonymous with speed, style and passion — was co-designed by Jony Ive, the former…
Imposing restrictions on goods originating from Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories is only common sense, French Trade Minister Nicolas Forissier told Euronews. The country put forward a proposal alongside Sweden last month, calling on the European Union to increase trade tariffs and enforce stricter import controls on goods coming from Israeli settlements deemed illegal under international law. “With our Swedish friends, we wrote to the Commission and insisted on the necessity to have a common European position on this question, rapidly,” Forissier said on Euronews’ interview programme 12 Minutes With. “We cannot accept any import of products that…
Massive Angriffe auf Kyjiw, der Einsatz der russischen Oreschnik-Rakete und gleichzeitig neue diplomatische Gespräche in Berlin: Während Moskau militärisch eskaliert, versucht die Ukraine gemeinsam mit europäischen Partnern eine neue Verhandlungsbasis aufzubauen. Im Gespräch mit Sicherheitsexperte Nico Lange geht es darum, ob Russlands aktuelle Angriffswelle ein Zeichen der Stärke, oder Ausdruck wachsender Probleme ist. Lange argumentiert, dass die Ukraine an mehreren Frontabschnitten derzeit wieder Momentum aufgebaut habe: durch größere Reichweiten eigener Drohnen, erfolgreiche Angriffe tief im russischen Hinterland und zunehmenden Druck auf russische Logistikinfrastruktur. Parallel dazu besucht Rustem Umjerow, Chefunterhändler von Präsident Wolodymyr Selenskyj, Berlin. Im Fokus stehen neue europäisch-ukrainische Gesprächsformate…
Anti-corruption investigations in Ukraine show that the country’s institutions remain efficient despite Russia’s war, Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister Taras Kachka told Euronews. Kachka, who’s in charge of the country’s EU integration, described the process as “the healthiest thing” in the country of some 44 million, which continues to defend itself from Russia’s all-out invasion, now well into its fifth year. “Ukraine is now living through the war and the dramatic change of its political culture,” he said in an interview on Tuesday. “Something that was a problem for the accession of Ukraine in the past, so 10 years ago, 15…
