L’offensive de charme des ambassadeurs des Etats-Unis en Europe ne vise qu’à plaire à une seule personne : Donald Trump. Tous les autres, y compris les principaux alliés des Etats-Unis, peuvent s’attendre à peu de charme et à beaucoup d’offense. Les amis du président américain, promoteurs immobiliers et donateurs politiques qui ont obtenu un poste d’ambassadeur dans l’UE au cours de son second mandat font grincer des dents dans les capitales qui les accueillent. Leur style diplomatique plus grossier — la réponse des Etats-Unis aux loups guerriers chinois, qui aimaient aussi défier les conventions et critiquer leurs hôtes — n’est…
He has overseen a steady polling uptick for the left-wing outfit, as borne out in POLITICO’s Poll of Polls. “There’s a definite and obvious increase,” says YouGov’s Head of European Political and Social Research Anthony Wells. “He’s already far better known than [predecessors] Carla Denyer and Adrian Ramsay were.” “It’s not like the public are in love with him, but the public do … dislike him less than most of the party leaders,” Wells added. ‘We know how it feels to be looked down on’ Friday’s victory speech by Spencer, the party’s newest MP, shows how Polanski has also tried to foreground…

Die Berlinale 2026 ist längst vorbei, aber die Debatte beginnt erst richtig. Antisemitismus-Vorwürfe, antiisraelische Töne und die Sorge vor einer politischer Vereinnahmung überschatten das Festival und dessen Zukunft. Rixa Fürsen über die Frage: Wie lassen sich Kunstfreiheit und Meinungsfreiheit mit der klaren Ächtung von Antisemitismus vereinbaren? Im 200-Sekunden-Interview geht es dann mit Katrin Göring-Eckardt (Grüne) ebenfalls um die Kontroverse: Was tun gegen einen augenscheinlich tief sitzenden Antisemitismus in Teilen der Kulturszene? Welche politischen Konsequenzen braucht es? Die AfD verbucht einen juristischen Teilerfolg. Das Verwaltungsgericht Köln untersagt dem Verfassungsschutz vorerst, die gesamte AfD als rechtsextremistisch einzustufen. Was bedeutet das praktisch für…
By Méabh Mc Mahon & Alice Carnevali Published on 26/02/2026 – 9:00 GMT+1 There are moments in life that are hard to forget and remain etched in the collective memory of those who witnessed them: a natural disaster affecting our hometown, a terrorist attack in our country or the outbreak of a full-scale war. “You can ask every Ukrainian— no matter where they were, in Ukraine or abroad —and they will remember moment by moment where they were and what they were doing the moment Russia started its full-scale invasion,” Euronews’ correspondent Sasha Vakulina told Brussels, My Love?. Together with Marta Barandiy, founding…
Published on 27/02/2026 – 5:59 GMT+1 Pakistan launched strikes on major cities in Afghanistan on Friday, including the capital Kabul, as its defence minister said his country ran out of “patience” and considers that there is now an “open war”. It comes after Afghan forces attacked Pakistani border troops on Thursday night in retaliation for deadly Pakistani airstrikes on Afghan border areas Sunday. In a post on X Friday, Defence Minister Khawaja Mohammad Asif said Pakistan had hoped for peace in Afghanistan after the withdrawal of NATO forces and expected the Taliban to focus on the welfare of the Afghan…

On top of that, Rome may have overestimated the effect the measure will have on household bills, the former executive said. Renewable energy prices are largely determined outside the market through fixed, bilateral contracts — meaning bills are only marginally exposed to the ETS price. Renewable energy producers, on the other hand, base their long-term investment strategies on those higher, ETS-linked prices, and the new law could derail those plans, while favoring gas, the person added. The CEO of energy company Edison, for example, said last week that the government’s plans could slow down the green transition. Growing pressure on…
Europe enters a more contested decade than any since the end of the Cold War. Yet the frontline shaping its security is no longer limited to land, sea, air or even space. It runs directly through the digital backbone that powers modern life: the networks, data infrastructures and connectivity systems on which governments, economies and armed forces depend. But Europe will not be secure until it takes this digital backbone’s security seriously, and governs its openness through risk-based, verifiable sovereignty rather than isolationism or complacency. Europe will not be secure until it takes this digital backbone’s security seriously, and governs its openness through risk-based,…
The Commission proposed the new sanctions package, which broadens restrictions on Russian energy, banks, goods and services, on Feb. 6. The EU had hoped to get final approval on both measures — the sanctions package, which requires unanimity to pass, and the €90 billion loan — before this past Tuesday, the fourth anniversary of Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. With Kyiv set to run out of cash in April, the same month Hungarians head to the polls for a national election, EU leaders are scrambling for ways to get Budapest to drop its opposition while avoiding a legal blowup with Orbán that…
