I signed up to the formal complaint filed by @alemanno.bsky.social about the failure of the Commission to uphold the Schengen rules and our right to free movement. We cannot stand by idly as the EU is being slowly dismantled (Note: my earlier re-post included the wrong handle for Alberto Alemanno)

Unease and protest are spreading across Europe, in different forms. France: students in the streets. Spain: tenants organising, while the right turns hawkish against them. These movements may shape the 2027 elections.

This is a great and important move. Thanks to everyone involved. Freedom of movement is one of the key liberties of the European Union. Scared politicians need to stop infringing our rights. #schengen

Today we filed a formal complaint against the European Commission for failing to protect our right to free movement. What’s a stake isn’t only Schengen but the rule of law in EU, what has led former Commissioner Josep Borrell, Nicolas Schmit, Laszlo Andor to join thegoodlobby.eu/the-commissi...

Because neither the European Union nor Canada can disentangle itself from the American economy, both need the capacity to act when a US president becomes coercive. My latest @projectsyndicate.bsky.social prosyn.org/n2LnHuF

Europe's offer of associate membership to Canada could serve EU integration more than the federalist dream, by renewing our understanding of interdependence in a post-Trump world. My latest for @projectsyndicate.bsky.social www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/e...

"The idea that von der Leyen’s offer lacks substance is mistaken. Current treaties already provide the scope to build something new. Europe need not become a federal state to advance its interests. It can start to restore its power much sooner through concrete, bespoke alliances".

The charge that @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu overture to Mark J. Carney lacks substance is hardly damning. After all, it was improvisation that brought the European Union into being in the first place, writes @alemanno.bsky.social. bit.ly/3VeYNuc

17 EU governments have launched an alliance to stop themselves from adding national rules on top of common EU rules (gold-plating) This reveals the problem is national over-implementation, not EU rules themselves - as the Draghi boys like to repeat. Source @henryjfoy.ft.com @financialtimes.com

As the EU seeks to project global power: 1. its “frugal” members want to cut its budget 2. Over 10 countries want to pause new EU legislation for a year of simplification Yet you cannot demand a stronger Europe while cutting its resources & capacity to act. That is deeply contradictory

Has EU full membership lost attraction or has the EU simply found alternative and equally attractive ways to integrate? Of course, it’s the latter and that’s the lesson from Iceland albertoalemanno.substack.com/p/a-lesson-f...

The negative vote is not a rejection of Europe, but it shows that EU membership is not the only path to European integration.
