If the next pope is European, he might be from Southern Europe. Or Italian, or Portuguese, or Spanish. The wind of providence will inevitably blow in the direction of the Mediterranean dimension of Europe. Lest we begin to call it EurAfrica

Parliament rebels against its exclusion from the European Commission’s emergency procedure to approve RearmEU. The European Parliament’s Legal Affairs Committee (JURI) rejects the idea, arguing that the requirements for urgency are not met

The Old Continent is divided between reluctant rearmers and confused pacifists. We have technology and soldiers, but without unified planning we remain geopolitical dwarfs. Europe lacks many ingredients to be strong, such as a unified command, a comprehensive and effective information system at all levels, a missile defense system like Israel’s Iron Dome, and an industrial chain that combines competition and convergence. But most importantly, it lacks the will to change the treaties to a fixed common debt and to increase democratic representation with a European constitution that allows for the direct election of the Commission President and more powers for the Parliament, including the right of initiative and the motions of confidence and censure. Of course, Europe and America will always be two sides of the same coin

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

A ridiculous European radical chic left: they cry out against Trump’s fascism and come up with new arguments that don’t hold water. They have invented a new difference: on the one hand Atlanticism and on the other hand the West, as if the EU wasn’t the fruit of the Atlantic relationship. They don’t understand that the number one problem of the USA has only one name: China. And therefore, from their point of view, it makes sense to try to separate Russia from China. So the EU has an opportunity to finally become a real political entity with the Brits in it

BUBBLEFLASH – The mystery of the MEGA hats delivered to all MEPs in Brussels: who could have sent the funny gadget? And for what reason? The name refers to the movement conceived by Elon Musk to expand MAGA to Europe. Perhaps this is a sign that anticipates some move that could come soon

Finally, someone is trying to feed the soul of Europe. Thanks to the initiative of ECR MEP Carlo Ciccioli, an exhibition on Frederick II has been opened in the European Parliament.

Yesterday we published an article explaining that one of the causes of the halving of Europe’s influence on the stock markets is the lack of a unified European defense. A message that has now been clarified and reiterated by, among others, the President of the European Council, António Costa, the Vice-President of the European Commission, Stéphane Séjourné, and the MEP and Chair of the Delegation for relations with the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, Salvatore De Meo. This nicely sums up a hypothesis that is beginning to circulate among the palaces in Brussels in order to avoid a trade war with the U.S. and to calm their anger over Germany’s and China’s structural current account surpluses at the expense of the U.S. economy. That is, common European debt for common defense

BUBBLEFLASH – The Council of European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) has just elected former Polish Prime Minister and PiS leader Mateusz Morawiecki as its president, succeeding Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. The head of the FDI delegation in the European Parliament, Carlo Fidanza, is one of the three vice-presidents of the ECR, the others being Marion Marechal of France and George Simion of Romania

Where do you go if you don’t have the technology? Here’s why it will be hard for Europe to do without SpaceX. In 2024, SpaceX had more than 130 orbital launches, China 68, and Europe stopped at 3. The European Galileo system was launched with Space X rockets because the European launchers were not there. Instead of transforming the EU into a serious and democratic political entity, time was lost behind the green follies of the European caviar left.

In 25 years, Europe’s weight in the stock market has more than halved. One of the reasons: in the absence of a common foreign policy and a common defense, there has been no innovation driven by military spending.

Ursula and Merz: make us laugh! The two Germans are convinced that they can play Trump cleverly. The first imitates the moves of Junker, who proposed buying more soybeans from the US to distract Trump, and suggests that the EU buy more US LNG to avoid tariffs. The latter lives in a parallel universe and even fantasizes about a trade agreement with the US. Poor Europe is now a continent victimized by itself. And to think that the damage caused by the tariffs could be largely covered by issuing common debt for at least 40 percent of European GDP is unbelievable.
