After Thursday’s European Council concluded in Brussels, Macron confirmed that he wants to deal with the 2035 target separately, and take more time to discuss 2040. | Christophe Petit Tesson/EFE via EPA Macron doesn’t think it’s worth rushing the discussion, however. “It’s great if we have [the 2040 target] for Belém, but that’s not what’s expected of us for Belém. It’s the 2035 [target], not the European targets for 2040. So let’s not overstretch ourselves,” he said. “So let’s stop shooting ourselves in the foot,” he added. “If we have it for Belém, super. If it’s going to take longer,…
Toutefois, Emmanuel Macron ne pense pas qu’il faille précipiter la discussion. “C’est formidable si on l’a pour Belém, mais ce n’est pas ça qui est attendu de nous pour Belém, la COP à venir. C’est les [objectifs pour] 2035. Ce n’est pas d’avoir des objectifs européens en 2040. Donc, ne nous surcontraignons pas.” “On va arrêter de se tirer une balle dans le pied. Ce n’est pas un objectif pour Belém. Si on l’a pour Belém, super. Si ça doit prendre plus de temps, prenons plus de temps pour bien le faire.” Débat animé Le président de la République a également…

Plenty of issues have now arrived where MPs can use that voice. Several cited the recent debate over assisted dying, where MPs had to make up their own mind rather than following the party whip, as a clarifying moment. Learning how parliamentary procedure works is also making MPs more confident, just as they finally settle on their friends, their pet issues — and perhaps in future, their factions. Formal groups of Labour MPs are centered around old “red wall” seats, growth, coastal areas, specific regions, rural seats, the socially conservative “Blue Labour” movement, trade unions, the Co-Op Party and a…
As migrant arrivals soar on Crete’s southern shores, Greece is sending naval forces to confront what officials fear could become a new mass migration wave. Smugglers are reportedly directing boats from Libya’s east to the Greek islands, exploiting a route that has seen a 174% rise in arrivals since last year. Over 7,300 migrants have landed on Crete and Gavdos this year alone. Emergency shelters are overwhelmed, and with no registration centres, the situation is growing critical. The mission, backed by European and Libyan coordination, will patrol south of Crete in hopes of stemming the tide.
The warning follows a decision by Hungarian police on June 19 to ban the annual LGBTQ+ march scheduled for Saturday. Authorities cited a law passed in March that asserts the protection of children must take precedence over the right to assembly. Following the new legislation, both the U.K. and Canada updated their travel advisories for Hungary ahead of the march, warning that participants could face criminal penalties or fines under new legislation that bans Pride parades and allows police to use facial recognition to identify attendees. On May 26, a coalition of at least 16 EU countries — including the…

Stocker said he viewed Austria as “a pioneer” in promoting stricter European policies on asylum claims. Germany has long pushed back on some of the tougher European migration proposals, but Merz’s arrival has shifted that paradigm. Under pressure from the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) opposition party, Merz’s conservative-led government has vowed to drastically cut the inflow of asylum seekers to the country. Just days after taking office this spring Merz’s interior minister increased checks on Germany’s borders — including with Austria — and said German police would turn away more undocumented immigrants, including asylum seekers. The border crackdown led…
