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

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?

Bubblereport # 9 – Two little men with a little party (Frei Demokraten is at risk of going below 5%) are holding not only Germany but an entire Continent in check. RENEW’s Christian Lindner and Wolfgang Kubicki turn into ID’s best allies with their dogmas on fiscal rules screwing up the European integration process. With a world increasingly in disarray, they look at fiscal constraints instead of how to provide the EU with a real defense. Great job!

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

A sad meeting indeed – Salvini flops big time in Florence, his sovereign demonstration is diserted by the European allies of Identity and Democracy: Le Pen and Wilders participate only remotely. A big show of weakness reflected by his poor 8% in Italian political polls

All against Wilders – The unexpected victory of the PVV in the Netherlands is set to shake up the political scene. Former Prime Minister Rutte is rumoured to be working on forming a coalition, bringing together all parties: his career goal remains to join NATO and he needs a friendly government to achieve this. The Liberals have to decide which way to go and are likely to take their time: two years ago, the consultations took around ten months

Bubblereport #6 – En Marche towards failure! – Emmanuel Macron’s Renaissance party is worried about the outcome of the European elections: nine percentage points behind Bardella’s Rassemblement National, which can also count on Zemmour’s Reconquete. The issue of immigration is weighing on the president’s failures, and he is now seeking to regenerate his team. But it may not be enough to weather the storm

“Gaza must stay under Palestinian control” – Josep Borrell plays the role of mediator and sheds light on the non-existent European foreign policy. It is a pity that Lady Ursula has already come out strongly in favour of Israel: it is not clear where we stand, is Netanyahu right to respond or not? What will follow Borrell’s words? Nothing, as usual!

Spanish-style stability – Pedro Sánchez wins the vote of confidence in parliament, but Spain is torn apart. The amnesty to Catalan nationalists led to a wave of protests. Meanwhile former prime minister José Maria Aznar: “We are in the hands of political forces that hate our constitution”

Bubblereport #4 – In love with the Balkans – Meloni is working on a plan to further integrate her Adriatic neighbours. At the same time, a document signed by the Franco-German axis is circulating with the same diplomatic goal. But the Balkans are a powder keg and getting our hands on them could be a double-edged sword

Not so attractive after all – the pro-EU candidate loses the election for mayor of Chisinau to Ion Ceban (also theoretically pro-European, but in practice very close to Moscow). Since 24 February 2022 Moldova has been living in limbo and it is very difficult to say who is on whose side (many, even those close to Brussels, are actually paid by the Kremlin)

09 November 2023

“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

07 November 2023

Another one bites the dust – António Costa becomes the latest socialist victim: swept up in a massive scandal over green funds involving his infrastructure minister, João Galamba. All eyes are now on Chega (“Enough”): the Portoguese far-right party which, with 15% of the vote in the polls, could be the biggest beneficiary of the scandal
