BUBBLE FLASH – Charles Michel rejects the criticism. According to him, the rules of procedure of the European Council can be revised by a simple majority, as has already been done with those of the Parliament, in order to prevent Jean-Marie Le Pen from presiding over an inaugural session

Source: Confidential

The incumbent President of the European Council reminds everyone that the basis of democracy is elections. And that is why it is natural for him to run for office. Then, he opened to the ECR Group for the guidance of EU Institutions after the elections, as he had already done in Belgium with the Flemish Nationalists (Nva).

Lady Ursula’s plan for European rearmament is the usual German delaying tactic: each state will put up the money for itself, a little from the EIB, a little from some other fund with a fancy name, and then we’ll see who survives. Of course, even with the separation of military spending from that great idiocy called ‘Stability and Growth Pact’, the heavily indebted states won’t be able to do much more than they’ve been doing. Nobody is talking about serious matters: if we really want Europe to become a credible political subject, we have to start by changing the treaties in a framework that includes the United Kingdom

The Qatargate had dissolved in a soap bubble also due to the lack of credibility of the Prosecutor who originally dealt with the case. But there’s nothing to be done, the trawling starts again: accusations are once again being made against two Italian S&D MEPs. S&D is the group that most often uses moralism for political ends and that has been intransigent in the reform of the Parliament, limiting the freedom of mandate of European MEPs and turning them into a kind of automaton. The problem is the separation of legislative and judicial powers. In these times of chaos, it should be pointed out to the European left that in the race to be the purest, there is always someone purer who will purge you

You can’t make this stuff up – Charles Michel announces that he will not run in the next European elections, ending his mandate at the European Council: Mario Draghi’s candidacy has been burnt, while the chances of seeing Sànchez as his successor are increasing. Michel made the announcement on Facebook, but then decided to block comments. Indeed, there are many who have not understood the motives behind his moves: can one man consistently make strategic mistakes of this magnitude?

Ever further to the East – The European Council greenlights accession negotiations for Ukraine and Moldova (while Georgia is now officially a candidate). Viktor Orban finally lifted Hungary’s veto, but it is not yet clear why. His balancing act has given way and Kiev is beginning to hope, but several countries that have been waiting for years are already complaining about the blatant unequal treatment

Charles gets the ball rolling – There is widespread criticism and dissatisfaction with the move by the current president of the European Council to leave early before the end of his term in November. While it is true that the prospect of Viktor Orbán frightens the establishment, it is also possible that this move is an implicit request to Mario Draghi to make up his mind. And quickly

Bubblereport #6 – En Marche towards failure! – Emmanuel Macron’s Renaissance party is worried about the outcome of the European elections: nine percentage points behind Bardella’s Rassemblement National, which can also count on Zemmour’s Reconquete. The issue of immigration is weighing on the president’s failures, and he is now seeking to regenerate his team. But it may not be enough to weather the storm

Nobody wants Lady Ursula anymore! – The congress that nominated Von der Leyen as candidate for the Commission showed a clear split: many did not vote for her. The EPP will be the tiebreaker, even with all its divisions. Weber is champing at the bit to take the most coveted post, backed by a strong conservative support. But unexpected help for Lady Ursula could come from Giorgia Meloni, although the latter in turn risks splitting the ECR. The group’s vice-president, a Vox exponent, has already distanced himself: ‘We will not vote for her’.

A wave that will sweep across Europe – The latest polls confirm the rise of Identity and Democracy (ID), soon to be the third parliamentary force, ahead of Renew (RE) and the Conservatives (ECR). These figures do not take into account the “Marion Maréchal factor”, who is destined to take Eric Zemmour’s Reconquête and who could therefore swing the balance. Either way, a “balkanised” parliament is on the horizon, with ID likely to pay dearly for its pro-Russian past

Charles Michel’s house of cards – The President of the European Council plays at being a statist and attacks Lady Ursula for being too ‘geopolitical’. According to him, the limits imposed by the institution have been overstepped, for which ‘we are paying the price’. As if that were not enough, he also spoke of European defence, insisting that there is “a will to match means with ambitions”. A little spice more in the campaign of the most underestimated sptizenkandidaten in the continent’s history
