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

Bubblereport #5 – Always hanging on the mental flexibility of a hamster on a wheel – Mr. Linder as well as at the time Mr. Schäuble have in mind only one watchword: austerity! This time, however, it is not only the citizens of southern Europe who will suffer, but also the Germans. Indeed, to avoid their own masochistic rules many public expenses were done avoiding the rules. Now the German constitutional court had to recognize it, and Government will be in trouble. Who knows if the hamster will get off the wheel giving finally a chance to Europe not to be destroyed?

Bubblereport #3 – The double standards that leftist lobsters apply on immigration policies: at EU level they criticize Meloni’s Albanian model on migration, but at home they do the same. Nobody’s looking at the real issue: in Africa EU disappeared…

“Europe must act in unity or it won’t survive” – Mario Draghi’s prophecy shakes Europe’s sleepy palaces of power and points out the obvious. The problem is that it would take a miracle (or at least a little more democracy) to get Europeans to act united

The elephant in the room: an ECB survey finds that many companies plan to leave the EU to secure their supply chains. The point is: If one wanted to reorder value chains for strategic security reasons, one would need an expansive (low rates) credit environment, not a restrictive (high rates) one, for the simple reason that this would require a massive amount of investment. Why did the ECB do the opposite?

Although De Lange fills her mouth with Christian values and Marques rails against pro-cyclical effects, the watchword remains only one: austerity! Indeed, in their proposal, there is no trace of the decoupling of investments in defense and ecological transition from the calculation of member states’ public debts. It is as if chaos inside and outside Europe’s borders is nonexistent. So much for the pro-Europeans

Oops, I missed Mohammed – Parliament, after a long hibernation, returns to focus on the repatriation of irregular migrants. They haven’t even started and already it’s war over how to detect the danger of escape/risk of absconding. With the rapporteur, Tineke Strik, accused by EPP of being ready to put a spoke in the wheel. Good luck!

The old guard has been summoned! – Surrounded by socio-economic crises, the EU fears losing what has held it together: the internal free market. Draghi and Letta have been called to duty, but their role is still unclear and it may not be enough to keep the continent “competitive” in a world that’s rapidly moving in another direction

Knock, knock! What do the EU’s highest authorities think of this? – Another Qatargate this time involving Hamas and its leaders: according to an op-ed by the Emir Al-Thani, published by the WSJ, the US asked Doha to establish relations with the terrorist group in 2012. Was Brussels aware of this?

A thunderstorm is approaching – Eu Parliament is about to disrupt the organization of its Committees. Too many (20) and often of low-impact, hopefully many will be merged or eliminated. A good improvement of the legislative process, and yet some don’t like the idea, for some reason…

A failure of a currency – Lagarde keeps interest rates at 4,5% and threatens future hikes: “The euro area economy remains weak”. After years of QE, inflation is now the natural enemy, and it’s here to stay. Disparities between European countries are growing, while the leading economies have been infected as well

Long live the European Disunion – 800 EU officials sign against “Lady Ursula” Israel «uncontrolled» support: even on the Palestinian issue, the Union shows division. Yet another lack of a common vision that leads to a lack of basic credibility
