A revision of the Frontex Regulation will be proposed after summer. I kicked off the discussion last week with the presentation of a study on how fundamental rights can be better protected. Frontex needs to guarantee protection, transparency and accountability. euperspectives.eu/2026/07/more...

Emma’s insights on how we place value on certain things and not others are eye-opening. Her perspective challenges us to rethink what matters. A must-listen for anyone who cares about building a more meaningful and sustainable future.

🗳️ First exit polls from the Netherlands: Wilders’ PVV appears to shrink from 37 to 25 seats. Make no mistake — the far right remains strong. Support hasn’t disappeared; it’s shifted across parties. The Dutch political landscape is more fragmented than ever — and the far right is no exception. 🇳🇱

Romanian Presidential candidate George Simion seems to be doing the Trump 2016 thing of claiming he has won even though exit polls suggest he probably/possibly hasn't. This tactic is however rather undermined by the fact that he used the flag of Chad instead of Romania.
