In an interview with POLITICO in January, French Socialists and Democrats (S&D) member of the European Parliament Aurore Lalucq, who chairs the Parliament’s economic and monetary affairs committee, said MEPs were left out of the loop about what was coming from the Commission. She said it is “not the best way to work” and that the Commission should “work together” with other institutions rather than keeping them in the dark. On Jan. 21, von der Leyen met with the chairs of EPP, S&D, Renew, and Greens to talk about competitiveness in the wake of Trump, especially about the upcoming omnibus…

The new group aims to be a private-sector equivalent to the Nuclear Alliance, within which a dozen EU member countries, led by Paris, regularly meet during gatherings of energy ministers in Brussels. There is an “economic logic” to reviving nuclear power in Europe, Séjourné said, calling it a competitive asset.

Even though the conflicts took place generations ago, they remain potent symbols of sacrifice and suffering in Polish historical memory. “Our children died for…
