Macron invented everything to climb back up the slope from the political fragility into which he has plunged, coming up with more than the devil to get Meloni in trouble, such as when he proposed Draghi for the Council presidency to limit the Italian Government’s room for maneuver in the selection of top EU jobs. But now, the only one able to mediate with the Hungarian mean ogre (Orban) over the support of Ukraine is Meloni, who remains, therefore, central despite Macron’s willingness

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

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

Drunk and disorderly – China returns blow for blow and initiates anti-dumping proceedings against EU’s brandy after last September Brussel’s investigations against Chinese electric vehicles manufacturers. Eye for an eye and the trade goes blind

Eu will have to pay more to guarantee its own security with many hotbeds of instability around

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

Bubblereport #11 – The usual farce – The little theater of the Stability Pact ended with rules that no one will ever be able to comply with. New finance ministers, just like the old ones, still prioritise appearances over content. The more things change, the more they remain the same

Bubblereport #10 – The decisive day is 20 December – The rules of the Stability Pact, suspended in the wake of the epidemic, will be reinstated in 2024. EU finance ministers will hold an extraordinary meeting to try to reach a new agreement. Italy’s Giorgetti has already expressed his dissatisfaction and could join forces with his French counterpart to block the draft agreement: the bone of contention remains the 3% budget deficit to GDP ratio, a criticism that could leave Italy isolated

All in for the Spitzenkandidaten! – Who knows if this time the French sexy boy, having pulled Lady Ursula out of the hat last time by breaking the Spitzenkandidaten, will ignore the election results or not? Meanwhile, the Draghi boys are looking for apartments in Brussels. Hard to say if it’s just to help him prepare the EU competitiveness report or perhaps for something bigger?

The endless Qatargate scandal – New documents published in the last few hours do not add anything new, but they do shed new light on the activities of Pier Antonio Panzeri, who is accused of heading a veritable network of corruption in Brussels. The extent of the scandal remains a mystery: many of the accusations seem to have lost their relevance pending the trial, which will probably take place next spring

The green transition is just a memory now – 12 years since Fukushima have been enough to forget the dangers of nuclear power. On 2 December in Dubai, during Cop28, an international front emerged, led by the US, France and the UK, which aims to triple nuclear capabilities globally by 2050. Goodbye green hopes…

Bubblereport #8 – After destroying Italian banks by mistakenly considering private funds as state aid, RENEW’s Margrethe Vestager might not be able to go crocheting in the chair of the European Investment Bank presidency. Ultimately, Sánchez’s economy minister, Nadia Calviño, is most likely coming out on top

Bubblereport #7 – The ecological transition is a 19th century revolution – After having gutted countries like Argentina, Chile and Indonesia in search of the resources needed for its batteries (lithium and nickel), Europe is now realising that it cannot do without China and its supply chain. Dependence on Beijing is frightening, and not even the good news from Sweden’s Northvolt can be reassuring
