One country blocks the whole EU. Doing Expansion prior to fixing quorum doesn’t add strength. It adds vetoes. Fix the quorum first. #EUReform #FederalEurope

Also true: ERC success rates just hit a record low of 8.8%, as applications surged and funding didn’t keep pace. Attracting talent and funding it at scale are two different problems. #EUCompetitiveness #Draghi

An act of war doesn’t call for statements, or condemnation. It calls for action. What’s missing isn’t more talk from any side. It’s a real European Defense, built now. #EUDefence

Ex-boyfriend sentenced to life in prison in Italian femicide case

Women in the EU are killed by a partner or family member at nearly double the male rate, flat for a decade per Parliament’s own data. A warning stops most repeat offenders, not all. Known risk needs custody, not a warning. #GenderBasedViolence #EU #Femminicidio #CodiceRosso

The brutal death of 22-year-old Giulia Cecchettin gripped Italy and fuelled demands to end violence against women. #EuropeNews

Russia believes a key US will not intervene. NATO’s own concern level is rated very high. Time for Europe to face reality: allocate the necessary budget to defense, and build a real European Defense. #EUDefence #NATO

Respect to Canada here. Matching a bully dollar-for-dollar, in public, immediately, takes real courage, and it’s exactly the right response. Carney just did what the EU has only “considered” for years. EU leaders should be taking notes.

Reciprocity is simple: whatever hits us, hits them back, exactly as hard, every time. No threats, no waiting, no exceptions. The more pressure they apply, the more they pay themselves. That’s not escalation. That’s arithmetic. #Canada #TradeWar Link: www.npr.org/2026/08/22/n...

As Canada readies retaliatory tariffs, Mark Carney says his nation is 'at war' with U.S.

The U.S. has now imposed 50% tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian products. Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada will match those tariffs "dollar for dollar" starting Sept. 8.

A reform that could end this fight: tie asylum liability to a rescue boat’s flag. States that want to rescue keep doing it, and own what follows. No more transfers demanded from countries that never chose to bring anyone in. #Migration #Dublin

Four decades, $100bn+ invested, a fifth of rural China mobilized. The reward: this land-use shift drives 44% of the country’s carbon sink, plus measurably less dust, sand, and soil erosion. Effort, matched by reward. #Reforestation #Climate #China

A rocky planet in a habitable zone has, for the first time, been confirmed to hold an atmosphere, 3 billion years old. Not life. The precondition for it. Only catch: 48 light-years out. Our fastest craft would take 800,000+ years to arrive. #LHS1140b

50% of young Italian women either don’t want children (21%) or are only mildly interested (29%). Individualism (self-fulfillment over social duty), and a state that hasn’t made childcare affordable enough to compete with it. Fix the one we control. www.repubblica.it/cronaca/2026...

No major party contested this. His most credible opponent wore a bin on his head. He called it a jury delivering “the verdict”; but a trial nobody prosecuted isn’t a verdict. It’s a sham. The mandate was never actually tested.

One year ago, the Draghi Report called on Europe to shift gears in the global race for competitiveness. We heard that call. Loud and clear. And we responded, fast and forcefully. This Tuesday, with Mario Draghi, let’s take stock of how far we’ve come together.

Ski instructors have an EU-wide automatic recognition test. Mountain guides get a European Professional Card. Engineers and teachers don't. They face case-by-case national assessment. One profession at a time is not a strategy. Recognition should be the default. #EuropeLeads #FederalEurope

Recognition of professional qualifications in practice

The recognition of professional qualifications laid down in Directive 2005/36/EC enables the free movement of professionals such as doctors or architects within the EU.

Correct, that’s the price any country (even the bigger ones) should accept to endure by being part of the EU. Fragmentation leads to immobility…

Valid point for candidate countries if identified as such for a defined probation period. I was suggesting a balanced sequence: 1/ fix the vote first 2/ admit new members under the new voting rule..

We shouldn’t create second-class countries with no vote. Replace unanimity with qualified majority voting. Layers, if built, should form around countries choosing deeper integration, not a tier imposed on those not ready.

We should not leave anyone out and we shouldn’t create second-class countries with no vote. Keep everyone equal — replace unanimity with qualified majority voting. That solves the Orbán problem without creating a hierarchy.

2026 EPI: Climate Bright Spots but Slow Progress Globally

Estonia topped the world’s environmental ranking almost entirely on one move: phasing out oil shale, once half a region’s economy. The index’s own director: “You can only do that trick once.” A real win. Not yet a system. #EuropeLeads #Estonia

Europe continues to dominate in the rankings but is likely to hit a wall without more ambitious strategies and agricultural reform.
