The defeat of the progressives, who in Europe have begun to tear their clothes off and scream the end of the world because of Trump’s victory, without realizing that this is an opportunity for the EU to become something serious. That is: to become a real state, capable of being a state. That is: to have at least a common defense, a parliament with the right of initiative, a central bank capable of acting as lender of last resort, a common debt and a common industrial policy capable of boosting internal demand, without wasting time behind the antics of Lindner, Ferber and other austerity-minded Germans, or the green stupidity of the Greens and Timmermans. Finally, do the most important thing: acknowledge your roots. All the most democratic and federalist constitutions in the world. From Switzerland’s to America’s, are not ashamed to guard the Word of God while allowing freedom of religion

The first four commissioners, Sefcovic, Micallef, Tzitzikostas and Hansen, pass the parliamentary test. All in a balancing game with words based on “but also”. Like Sefcovic, who on China looked like a juggler hanging by a thread. Also in these hearings, the formidable ECR-EPP axis jumps out at you.  If Fitto, for example, lacks the support of the Socialists, retaliation against Spain’s Teresa Ribera would be automatic. And in this case it would come not only from the conservatives, but from the EPP itself

The calm before the storm – Thousands of Georgians gathered in front of the national parliament in Tbilisi to demand the annulment of the election result, which saw the pro-Russian ‘Georgian Dream’ garner an absolute majority of votes. And what about reactions here? From Europe, solidarity, but no political action. So the Georgians who would like to be part of the EU will inevitably feel betrayed, and also inevitably end up in the arms of Moscow

The axis works – The European Parliament on Monday rejected, with 319 votes against, a request to debate the consequences of Friday’s Rome court ruling nixing the transfer of the first dozen migrants to a new processing centre in Albania. The request was presented by the Greens group and supported by Liberals and Socialists. But on the other side the Popular-Patriots-ECR axis proved to be stronger than expected

Down to the last vote – In an incredible coup de theatre, the pro-Europeans take the lead in Moldova, but the country is split down the middle. Premier Sandu, winner of the elections with 42% (but with a runoff to face), denounces three hundred thousand votes bought from Russia. Heavy accusations made when the vote seemed to be going ‘No’. Now, however, all is silent: the country and the region remain with bated breath waiting for a definitive outcome. Tbilisi also watches from a close distance

The return of austerity? – 2025 will be a decisive year for the Continent’s economy. The usual suspects will have to comply with the new rules: Italy is required to improve its structural primary balance by about 1.08 per cent of GDP per year to meet the new parameters. France and Spain will have to make an annual adjustment of 0.94 and 0.89 per cent of GDP, respectively. Blood and tears again, like ten years ago

Even the “European Donald” is obsessed with borders – Tusk plans to temporarily suspend the right to asylum to combat irregular immigration from Russia and Belarus: ‘We know very well how it is used by Lukashenko, Putin… by people smugglers, people traffickers’. For the Polish PM it is a win-win situation: he deals a blow to his eastern enemies and in the meantime exploits them to appease the internal conservative opposition. Truly machiavellian…

BUBBLEFLASH – Everyone take cover! – The special train returning to Brussels from Strasbourg caught fire. The entire European bubble evacuated and awaiting instructions from the authorities. Meanwhile, meetings cancelled and dinners postponed

What do we do with the Chinese, tax them on electric cars or not, who knows! Some yes, some no. As usual, there is a nice little theatre going on in the INTA committee of the European Parliament

While many sectors of German and Frugals’ politics are obsessed with green craziness (like stopping the production of endothermic engines from 2035) and insist on obstructing a common European debt, as opposed to what would be needed to revive a real European industrial policy and stimulate domestic demand, American politics is mapping out its own industrial future at the expense of Europe. Explain that to Lindner, Merz and Ferber that are causing an economic recession and in the end give votes to AfD. Teutonic flexibility is well known, as is the damage it has already repeatedly done to Europe and its unity. ….

Better late than never – Weber, unlike the CDU hawks, really believes in a united Europe and from Naples he argues that the end of the Baltic shrunkenness era is here: it’s time to put the Mediterranean back at the centre. Immigration without integration has woken everyone up from hibernation

Lady Ursula unchained – The new Commission, despite numerous appeals to give it a collegial character, will see a wild Lady Ursula, the real leader of the executive. During the last legislature the “German” traction ensured unity and coordination in action. This time, the impression is that the various commissioners are watertight comports whose only task is to follow the programme already drawn up by Mario Draghi…

The EPP invites Draghi to present the report on competitiveness in Parliament, pretending to support it. However, they become divided over the issue of common debt, with the hawk Ferber making it clear that it’s not up for discussion. Meanwhile, the Greens also voice their concerns about the backtracking on decarbonization efforts
