BUBBLEFRESH – Lady Ursula’s Roman holidays – von der Leyen’s campaign tour continues: today at 5pm she will be in Rome for a closed-door speech at the LUISS University. But it seems that no one wants her: she will not meet Meloni or any other Brothers of Italy representative. Ostracised in her own party, she will be running mainly against herself, and although she has declared that she wants to adapt to the new ‘realpolitik’ of the continent, the political choices she has made so far weigh heavily on her

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

“IF THESE REFORMS ARE NOT CARRIED OUT, EUROPE IS FINISHED” – MARIO DRAGHI PRESENTS HIS REPORT ON COMPETITIVENESS TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND SOUNDS THE ALARM TO THE GROUP LEADERS: “GREAT CO-RESPONSIBILITY AND GREAT COOPERATION ARE NEEDED” – THE MEPS APPLAUDED IN THE FACE OF THE HORROR SCENARIO OUTLINED BY “MARIOPIO”, WHO MAKES NO CONCESSIONS TO THE SOVEREIGNISTS SUCH AS MELONI, SALVINI AND COMPANY- THE REPORT WAS DRAFTED ON BEHALF OF THE EU COMMISSION, AND WILL SERVE AS AN ‘AGENDA’ FOR URSULA BIS

Keep calm and carry on. That seems to be Brussels’ motto after another far-right election victory in Europe, this time in Austria. Herbert Kickl and his anti-migrant, Russia-friendly Freedom Party (FPÖ) came out on top in Sunday’s vote but are likely to be kept out of government. EU diplomats and o ci als have in turn downplayed the direct impact of Austria’s election result on Europe

Bubblereport #19 – The Green Deal bullshit. At the Strasbourg plenary, Lady Ursula finally wakes up to the fact that ‘energy costs continue to affect our competitiveness’. But then she lies: ‘We expect gas prices to fall.’ From a low of 25 euros per megawatt hour, they have already risen to 32 euros per megawatt hour just in the last few days…

Now it’s official – Ursula von der Leyen will run for the leadership of the Commission: a candidacy that will be enshrined at the EPP congress in Bucharest. In spite of the advance of the far-right throughout Europe, the EPP, instead of trying to curb the phenomenon by nominating an innovative figure, opts for the usual safe. And the poor girl will be a candidate against herself, since she will have to dismantle all the waffle provided by her old warhorse: the Green Deal. She will then push the idea of having a new commissioner in charge of defense. But until the treaties are reformed, we risk having another unemployed person as head of a foreign policy that does not really exist

It seems like our favorite French president’s inner circle is getting quite the shuffle. Breton is out, and Séjourné, the most Macroniste of them all, is in. Because nothing says transparency and political progress like a good old-fashioned game of musical chairs at the European Commission. It’s not like Europe has bigger issues to tackle, right? But hey, at least Paris got what it wanted.

Proportional representation often leads to variable majorities in parliament. Something that S&D and Renew are unable to understand. So it seems that the stalemate that the EU institutions had reached in the process of forming the Commission has been overcome with a somewhat questionable formula: the three parties of the “Ursula” majority (EPP, S&D and Renew) will draw up some kind of political document that will serve as proof that this kind of majority is good, while the other majorities are bad. The EPP had cleverly divided the right into a pro-Western and constructive right (ECR) and a pro-Putin and defeatist right (Patriots and ESN). An operation carried out in the interest of the survival of Europe itself. Which of course the idiocy of the socialists and liberals would not accept because they are still intimidated by the electoral defeats they suffered in Europe
