‼️Népszabadság is returning on 8 October, exactly ten years after Orbán’s government shut it down. I was the paper’s Brussels correspondent when it was closed. For those of us who witnessed the destruction of Hungary’s independent press from the inside, this is a deeply personal moment. 2/1

Utiliser l'argument des neo maurassiens "tu aimes les etrangers ? Accueille les chez toi" n'est pas la pensée de gauche que vous imaginez. S'il faut mourir pour l'Ukraine afin d'en parler, alors il faudrait mourir sous les bombes israéliennes pour parler de la Palestine. On en est vraiment là ?

Se réfugier derrière un faux pacifisme qui renvoie dos-à-dos l'agressé et l'agresseur est indécent. A fortiori quand la Russie escalade en Europe, en multipliant les attaques contre nos sociétés, avec ses drones, ses cyberattaques et ses ingérences. Défendre l’Ukraine, c’est défendre l’Europe.

La Russie est la seule à bloquer sur une posture inacceptable (reddition sans condition du Donbass et neutralité forcée de l'Ukraine qui n’est rien d’autre qu’une capitulation). • La guerre s'arrête demain si la Russie rentre chez elle.

La Russie, elle, frappe des centres commerciaux en pleine journée (entre autres) avec l’intention manifeste et assumée de tuer des civils. • Le dialogue ne se décrète pas. La Russie ne souhaite pas dialoguer malgré les efforts des Ukrainiens, des Européens et même des Américains.

Stop asking the Ukrainian president stupid, loaded, victim-blaming questions. There is nothing Ukraine can do for peace besides defeating Russia. Russia rejects peace and compromise and it offers only full occupation or complete domination.

So it's official. EU sanctions on Russia are no longer only for the benefit of Ukraine's existential fight against Moscow's invasion - they are now currency for EU capitals to trade for prisoners. Welcome to the Brussels bazaar.

Erinnerung: 'Die Idee, man könne die radikale Rechte „entzaubern“, indem man sie in die Verantwortung hebt, findet in den Daten keinerlei Bestätigung.'

Demokratie: Wenn die Rechte mitregiert, wird sie nicht geschwächt – im Gegenteil
Eine Untersuchung von 57 Ländern zeigt: Wenn die Rechte in Verantwortung kommt, gewinnt sie dazu. Daraus lässt sich für Deutschland lernen.

Le Pen confirms that, if elected, she will withdraw France financial support to Ukraine. A reminder that Marine Le Pen has a history of ties with Russia, including receiving a €9 million loan from a Russian bank for her 2017 presidential campaign and previously defending Russia's actions in Crimea.

Could @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu's social media limitations bring the centre back together? It might be a collateral, but it looks like one of the very few topics where EPP and far right don't agree and the centre and centre left do.
