A Trump presidency could unite Europe - in obedience
The article explores the potential impact of a second Trump presidency on Europe, suggesting it could lead to increased influence of far-right movements across the continent. It highlights the connections between Trump and European far-right leaders, such as Marine Le Pen and Viktor Orban, and discusses the possibility of Europe uniting under far-right leadership rather than developing strategic autonomy. The article also reflects on past European inaction in response to Trump's first term and questions whether a second term would lead to significant changes in European sovereignty or further alignment with far-right ideologies.
The EU Parliament's right-wing 'Venezuela coalition'
Ahead of the European Parliament election, the center-right European Peoples Party (EPP) under Manfred Weber veered right, aligning with far-right groups like Giorgia Meloni's ECR and Marine Le Pen's ID. Despite initial polls, the far-right underperformed, leading to a centrist coalition re-electing Ursula von der Leyen. However, Meloni's influence grew, with von der Leyen supporting her migrant scheme and awarding the ECR a vice-presidency. The 'Venezuela Coalition' emerged when right-wing groups united to award the Sakharov Prize to Venezuelan opposition, defeating center-left and Green nominations. This coalition signals a trend of right-wing alliances, challenging traditional centrist partnerships and potentially reshaping EU politics.
How would the EU react to a second US coup attempt?
The article discusses the potential reactions of the European Union to a possible second coup attempt by Donald Trump in the upcoming US presidential election. It highlights the EU's dependency on the US for security and the challenges it faces in responding to a potential coup. The text criticizes European leaders for their lack of preparedness and questions the continent's reliance on an unstable US. It also explores the political dynamics within the EU, particularly the influence of leaders like Viktor Orban and Giorgia Meloni, and the implications of a Trump victory for EU-US relations.
Will Belgium become Europe's next hard-right government?
The New Flemish Alliance (N-VA), a party advocating for an independent Flanders, has been the largest in the Belgian parliament for years. Despite its electoral success, it has often been excluded from national coalitions due to its separatist stance. The N-VA has shifted towards a confederalist position, seeking self-taxation for Flanders, arguing that the wealthy region subsidizes the poorer Wallonia. The party envisions a Belgium that is a country in name only, effectively divided into three states: Flanders, Wallonia, and Brussels. The article explores the complexities of Belgium's federal system and the N-VA's political goals.
EU set to embrace migrant offshoring hubs at today's summit
The EU summit in Brussels is focusing on migration, with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposing offshoring hubs for deporting asylum-seekers without valid claims. This marks a shift from previous EU stances, aligning with Italy's recent agreement with Albania. The proposal faces criticism from some EU leaders, like Spain's Pedro Sanchez, who argue it violates international law. The summit's outcome could significantly influence EU migration policy, amid rising far-right sentiments across Europe.
Has the EU president grown a spine?
The article discusses the leadership dynamics within the European Union, focusing on Ursula von der Leyen's reappointment as President of the European Commission. It argues that the EU needs a strong leader to overcome inertia and become economically and militarily secure, independent of the US and China. The article critiques the current selection process for the Commission President, which favors candidates who do not threaten national leaders' power. Thierry Breton is mentioned as a potential strong leader, but his ambitions are dismissed due to political dynamics, particularly with Emmanuel Macron.
Biden faces climate dilemma over LNG exports to Europe
The Biden administration faces a complex challenge in balancing its climate goals with the economic potential of LNG exports to Europe. While the US has become a significant LNG exporter, there is a debate over the role of gas in the energy transition, with climate campaigners opposing new gas infrastructure. The administration may focus on reducing the climate impact of gas and exploring new forms like hydrogen. The future of EU-US LNG trade will depend on policy decisions regarding gas as a transition fuel, with concerns about stranded assets and methane emissions influencing the discussion.
Climate catastrophe? EU braces for possibility of a second Trump term
As the U.S. election approaches, European climate activists and politicians are concerned about the potential impact of a second Trump term on international climate efforts. The EU, which previously held global climate efforts together during Trump's first term, may face challenges if Trump withdraws from the Paris Agreement again. European leaders emphasize the need for assertive action and leadership in climate negotiations, especially with changing political dynamics in Europe. The article highlights the potential for a Kamala Harris presidency to continue Biden's climate policies, while businesses and investors remain focused on the broader election outcomes, including congressional races, which could influence future climate legislation.
Is Starmer wasting the EU's time?
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is visiting Brussels to discuss the EU-UK post-Brexit relationship with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Despite his desire for improved relations, Starmer's firm stance on key issues like customs union and single market alignment, similar to his predecessor Boris Johnson, limits potential amendments to the Trade and Cooperation Agreement.
Austria's far right win is both new and old news
Austria's recent election results have placed the far-right Freedom Party (FPÖ) in the lead, marking a significant political shift. This development is part of a broader trend of far-right parties gaining traction across Europe, often with anti-migration and eurosceptic messages. The FPÖ's potential coalition with the center-right Peoples Party (ÖVP) or the center-left Social Democrats could shape Austria's political landscape. The article highlights concerns about the influence of far-right movements in Europe, particularly in relation to historical ties to fascism and the potential impact of a Trump presidency in the US. Despite these gains, Europe's far-right remains divided, limiting their overall influence at the European level.
