Recherchen von Pauline von Pezold zeigen, wie eng die AfD inzwischen mit Trumps Republikanern vernetzt ist. Regelmäßige Reisen nach Washington, Einladungen an Trump-Berater und eine gezielte Kampagne gegen CDU und Bundesregierung: Pauline erklärt, wie die AfD in den USA Einfluss sucht, um sich als politisch verfolgte Bewegung zu inszenieren und Druck auf Berlin aufzubauen. Im 200-Sekunden-Interview spricht Beatrix von Storch, AfD-Vizefraktionschefin, über ihre Kontakte in die USA, den Umgang mit Trump und die Idee, Deutschland solle seine Interessen künftig allein statt über die EU vertreten.Danach geht es mit Rasmus Buchsteiner um den bevorstehenden Deutschlandtag der Jungen Union.

But for the U.S. pharmaceutical company — which shelved its planned facility meant to support early-stage life sciences businesses with lab space, mentorship and potential financial backing — the proposal alone is not enough. “I don’t think we have heard enough to say that we are willing to get the Lilly Gateway Lab started,” Patrik Jonsson, president of Lilly’s international business, which covers all markets outside the U.S., told POLITICO. “I think once we see the right signs from the U.K. government, we’re more than happy to restart those discussions, and we could move quite quickly,” Jonsson said. However, “we…
Merz’s comments reflect his latest push to move his conservatives sharply to the right on the AfD’s signature issue of migration. Until now, the broad strategy doesn’t appear to have worked, with the AfD only rising in popularity and coming in slightly ahead of Merz’s conservatives in many recent polls. Merz is seeking to undo the legacy of one of his conservative predecessors as chancellor, Angela Merkel, whose generous asylum policies — particularly during the refugee crisis of 2015 — made Germany the prime European destination for Syrians and other migrant groups fleeing war and poverty. During Merkel’s tenure and beyond,…
Grzegorz Kinelski, CEO of Enea and vice-president of PKEE, added: “We must stay on the fast track we are already on. Investments in renewables, storage and CCGT [combined cycle gas turbine] units will not only enhance energy security but also support economic growth and help keep energy prices affordable for Polish consumers.” The power sector must now be recognized as a strategic enabler of Europe’s industrial future — on par with semiconductors, critical raw materials and defense. As Dariusz Marzec puts it: “The energy transition is not a choice — it is a necessity. But its success will determine more…
The airspace above the airport subsequently reopened with flights taking off again, local media reported citing airport officials. The incident is the latest in a series of drone sightings across Europe that have sparked security concerns and disrupted air travel. On Friday, Berlin-Brandenburg Airport also diverted flights following a drone alert. While this is the first reported drone sighting over Brussels Airport, suspicious unmanned aircraft were spotted earlier this month over several Belgian military bases. Defense Minister Theo Francken said those drones were believed to be attempting to spy on fighter jets and ammunition depots. An investigation is underway into…
Geopolitics took centre stage at Euronews’ Enlargement Summit in Brussels on Tuesday, with leaders from candidate countries framing their ambition to join the European Union as a strategic decision to embrace prosperity and stability in a volatile world. The tone was set from the outset by António Costa, the president of the European Council, who made an impassioned plea for a larger, safer and stronger bloc and described accession as the “best investment” in a common future. “The European Union must also decide whether it can afford to lose more time, and if it is ready to evolve and adapt…

Des enquêtes parallèles Le fait de proposer un démantèlement volontaire de Google marque l’aboutissement d’une décennie d’application des règles antitrusts de l’UE sur les marchés numériques, au cours de laquelle les mesures “comportementales” n’ont guère porté leurs fruits, et un alignement unique, sur le calendrier comme sur le fond, entre les Etats-Unis et l’UE dans leurs enquêtes menées en parallèle sur la domination de Google en matière de technologie publicitaire. “Il aurait été impensable, il y a dix ans, qu’il y ait une affaire aux Etats-Unis et une affaire similaire en Europe dont l’issue potentielle serait un démantèlement”, retrace Cori…
European Council President António Costa warned EU candidate countries and member states to make crucial decisions on enlargement or risk remaining “trapped by painful historical legacies,” as Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned Hungary’s veto as “specific support” for Vladimir Putin. “Accession partners must decide if they have the determination to move forward with their European Union transformation or if they prefer to remain trapped by painful historical legacies,” Costa said. The European Council chief called on the bloc’s 27 members to decide on enlargement or risk losing time. “The European Union must also decide whether it can afford to lose…
