Welcome to Bubble Report! “A revolution will never be possible in Brussels, because we all know each other”

In grey Brussels, some bubbles also sparkle. Bureaucracy and champagne flutes produce a unique music that sounds like the chatter in the corridors, the whispering in the right ears. Brussels is a bubble and the people working in the European institutions, from the accredited parliamentary assistants to the Commissioner, they all live inside a collective dream whose rules and principles are often unknown to the general public. This is exactly why Bubble Report was created: to narrate this bubble from the inside, to record the whispering which is, at the end of the day, all that matters.

Our platform is as simple as it looks. A search bar at the top allows to search politicians or events across time and space. You can also filter the results by EU countries and themes. The weekly most viewed gives a panoramic of what other readers found most interesting. Then just the articles in chronological order.

Follow us on social media (Instagram, Telegram and X). We will be launching in the next few days: soon the bubble will no longer be a mystery.

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

The tragicomedy of Europeans and the American speed – The hearings of the European Commissioners turn into a madhouse. But it is understandable because the possibility of events beyond the actual will of the protagonists is becoming concrete. Yesterday, the President of the Commission rushed to the Parliament. She spoke with the leaders of the S&D and Renew groups, who have plunged into the darkness of “political ebetism”

Bubblereport #19 – The Green Deal bullshit. At the Strasbourg plenary, Lady Ursula finally wakes up to the fact that ‘energy costs continue to affect our competitiveness’. But then she lies: ‘We expect gas prices to fall.’ From a low of 25 euros per megawatt hour, they have already risen to 32 euros per megawatt hour just in the last few days…

Metsola, here we go again – The woman from Malta has been re-elected president of the European Parliament with an absolute majority of 532 votes. An overwhelming one, yet somehow expected. But the most important vote is still ahead: next Thursday it will be Lady Ursula’s time. Today she has spoken with ECR representatives in order to secure their support. But betrayal is still behind the corner, especially from within her ranks. Next 48 hours will be crucial…

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)

Deutschland über alles – 50.000 to leave Germany immediately! – The Cabinet approves new law making it easier to deport illegal migrants. Scholz is worried about right-wing parties and their national appeal, but at the same time German NGOs help thousands to cross the Mediterranean: incoherence reigns…

Ouch! Politico got it wrong, again – Rumours had it that von der Leyen and Michel would have separate meetings with Biden. Instead, on 21 October, all leaders sat around the same table. No couch for Ursula this time
