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.

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.

In Greenland, the plan is Biden’s. And Europe sleeps as usual, lost in ritual declarations about the inviolability of borders under the now blind leadership of France and Germany. No one seems to want to understand that Trump’s shock phrases are more an invitation to the allies to open their eyes. In fact, the activism of China and Russia in such a resource-rich and increasingly crucial region as the Arctic should have worried the EU the most. Which, as usual, has no idea how to defend the area because it has no common army. And so it does not even consider how to exploit the raw materials that are essential for the continent

Von der Leyen’s game with Erdogan, between the Kurdish unknown and the treatment of Syrian refugees. If only the EU had a real common foreign policy, Europeans would have much more influence in the region without being at the mercy of Erdogan’s hegemonic aims. Since 2011, the EU has given Turkey almost 10 billion euros.

After Musk’s remarks about the EU being ‘undemocratic’, in Brussels there is strong disapproval of the creator of SpaceX and Tesla and his views. This is not the first instance of tension in this relationship. Meanwhile, the billionaire’s influence, having spent the past few weeks with President-elect Donald Trump, is growing and will inevitably influence his policies and his attitude towards the old Continent

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.

God willing, they may begin to awaken from their long hibernation. Badger Europe may begin to realize what is taken for granted elsewhere. In some frugal countries, such as Denmark, the need for a common debt is beginning to sink in. And in Germany, the taboo on debt brake reform is beginning to fall. Who knows if Merz will slowly come around. There is no hope for Ferber, for whom austerity is a religion

BUBBLEFLASH – Parliament approves the Commission that will govern the old continent for the next five years. A team that will be the most conservative in a long time: almost half of the 27 commissioners, including von der Leyen, are from the centre-right, one is an ultraconservative and one is from the far right. There were 370 votes in favour, far fewer than last July. Not a particularly encouraging sign
