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

Here is the best answer to Trump’s tariffs: in the general silence of everyone, no one noticed that last week in Strasbourg the FRUGAL front collapsed and was approved by 303 votes in favor, 289 against and 62 abstentions, an amendment (n. 101) to the text on the EU defense strategy (rapporteur Nicolás PASCUAL DE LA PARTE), which calls on the Commission to increase the EU’s common debt to ensure that the Union has the necessary budgetary capacity to borrow in exceptional and crisis situations

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

The EPP is waiting for the vote in Germany and the subsequent formation of a government to see how to proceed. The Stockholm Declaration only talks about security and other agreeable issues, without any reference to green policies or immigration. Not to mention economic policy. Yesterday, during the vote in Strasbourg on the annual report on the ECB, an issue came to the fore that is common to almost all political parties (S&D, Renew, EPP, ECR, etc.), namely the differences between frugal and pro-European states on EU economic policy. In fact, even in the EPP, some MEPs abstained on amendments proposed by the Left, which rightly pointed out the dysfunctionality of a system that has a common monetary policy without a common fiscal and industrial policy, and also criticized the ECB for its too rigid interest rate policy.

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

The European caviar left is now tearing its hair out over the danger Musk poses to democracy. In contrast, when he was funding Democratic campaigns, he was something of a myth. Of course, not a word about Soros or the CEO of JP Morgan. The latter in particular wants to open the world’s largest digital bank in Europe by gobbling up European savings and acquiring sensitive data. But since the banks have always been generous with the Left all over the world, for heaven’s sake, no one says anything. The usual double standards

380 million Christians persecuted – Dramatic data on faith denied today. Africa is the epicenter of the violence. What are the EU and the Pope doing about it?

China has also caught up with Europe in pharmaceuticals, where we used to boast primacy, and is ready to kick our asses: of the 90 new molecules launched in the year of China’s overtaking, 28 are “made in the US,” 25 come from China, and only 12 from Europe. Today, between 80 and 90 percent of the active ingredients in antibiotics used in Europe come from China. Whereas 25 years ago half of all new treatments were “made in the EU”, today it is only one in five. That is why the Sino-EU dialogue is resuming on cars, but late as usual, it is finally intensifying on pharmaceuticals.
