When our political future is distorted by Zuckerberg’s META (boycotting Lula) and Musk’s STARLINK (boycotting Ukrainians’ resistance) to please TRUMP, our collective dependencies on the US have now become a democratic and security risk! www.reuters.com/world/americ...

The story is not about Europe going to the right (that’s largely happened), but whether EU integration process can survive as a result. Here’s my latest: albertoalemanno.substack.com/p/can-the-eu...

For too long the EU Commission has tolerated border checks being reintroduced illegally by its a member states. This is not set to change as the commission systematically fails to ensure the effective implementation of EU law across the Union in a climate of impunity. @magnusbrunner.bsky.social

I see some hard battles ahead. ”The EU was designed to constrain national governments through common rules and protect fundamental rights against majoritarian abuse. It was not designed to withstand a political majority weakening those constraints from within.”

Italy and Spain removed the border checks reintroduced after Ceuta. That’s what our complaint vs @magnusbrunner.bsky.social asked for, but they were never justified. They set a negative precedent for the integrity of the rule of law, by unveiling how compromised EU Commission is vis a vis its MS

Europe’s aversion to regulation is now rivalled only by that of Silicon Valley’s tech billionaires. No coincidence. The latter stand to be among the biggest beneficiaries of the EU’s deregulation wave. Europe calls it competitiveness. Big Tech calls it a win.

Yet another EU government reintroducing border controls by invoking Ceuta as “threat” justifying its checks. The threat is manifestly inexistent as no secondary movements exist. After Italy, Spain and Austria got a free pass from @magnusbrunner more governments contribute to dismantle Schengen.

A little-used EU oversight mechanism has gone mainstream, but risks being misused. ECRA MEPs want a 19 Oct plenary vote asking the EU parties Authorities to check whether the European Left Alliance respects Art. 2 TEU, after French PM's office alleged LFI organised school protest

French government’s accusations against La France Insoumise have put a little-used EU mechanism back in play. Regardless of their merits, its invocation shows that the EU’s values regime is acquiring a new role. Read my latest albertoalemanno.substack.com/p/can-france...

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.

"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".

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
