According to information provided by the Bulgarian authorities, also cited in court, Angelov and a third suspect, Kiril Milushev, 28, traveled to Germany shortly after the Paris operation. The French prosecutor noted that the Munich grave of Stepan Bandera, a nationalist Ukrainian politician active in the 1930s and 1940s, had been tagged around the same time. Citing intelligence shared by a foreign country, he asked whether the Paris raid suspects had been involved. Milushev dismissed the theory as “absurd.” Dressed in a white shirt and sporting a light beard, he admitted to having visited Germany with Angelov but said they…
By euronews Published on 29/10/2025 – 22:37 GMT+1 •Updated 22:46 Centrist liberal party D66, led by Rob Jetten, has taken a surprise lead in the Dutch election, according to an Ipsos I&O exit poll. The survey suggests D66 won 27 seats, two more than Geert Wilders’ Party for Freedom, which led the previous government. The result marks a dramatic turnaround for D66, which ranked sixth two years ago. If confirmed, it would be the party’s biggest victory in its 59-year history and could shift Dutch politics back toward the center. Here are pictures from the election day and a night of…
The trial of 10 people accused of cyber-harassment against French President Emmanuel Macron’s wife Brigitte Macron ended on Tuesday night in Paris after two days of heated exchanges and an emotional testimony from Brigitte Macron’s youngest daughter. The defendants — eight men and two women, aged 41 to 60 — are accused of sexist and transphobic harassment over a series of posts and videos claiming that Brigitte Macron was born “a man” and is actually her brother Jean-Michel Trogneux. The rumour, which emerged in 2017, has since circulated widely across far-right and conspiracy theory networks in France and abroad. During…
Frans Timmermans, former European Commission climate chief and leader of the Dutch GreenLeft-Labor ticket, announced he would resign as leader of the alliance after disappointing results in Wednesday’s Dutch election. Exit polls projected the alliance would win 20 seats, five less than in the 2023 election and well short of pre-eclection predictions. “It’s clear that I, for whatever reason, couldn’t convince people to vote for us,” Timmermans said. “It’s time that I take a step back and transfer the lead of our movement to the next generation.” This story is being updated.
The centre-left D66 in the lead in Wednesday’s tight-run parliamentary elections in the Netherlands, according to an initial exit poll conducted by Ipsos I&O. Close behind is the far-right PVV led by Geert Wilders, indicating that either party could still end up as the biggest party. Ipsos has indicated that D66 is set to receive 27 seats in the 150-seat House of Representatives, with 25 going to PVV. In the Dutch system, where no party gets an absolute majority, a combination of parties would need 76 seats to be able to form a government. It’s a significant shift from the…

Exit poll projections are historically a good indicator of Dutch election final results. This story is being updated.

One is an Algerian man who had booked a one-way ticket back to his home country. He was arrested at the Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport on Saturday.
