FYI, for the General Court of the European Union, it is impossible for this arms entrepreneur to be named "Obelix."

Quentin Ariès @quentinaries.eurosky.social · 08/05/2026

Next week in Luxembourg (General Court)... We will know if it is ok for a Polish arms entrepreneur to use the name "Obelix". French publisher of the French cartoon Asterix is strongly against.

French government resumes diplomatic relations with Algeria and is sending its deputy defence minister in the country. Rufo will attend a ceremony on the Setif Massacre, where French colonial killed hundred of protesters on May 8, 1945. Yes, it was the same day of the WW2 Armistice.

Former deputy Brexit negotiator @sabineweyand.bsky.social is leaving her job as EU top trade civil servant for a slower working rhythm in Firenze. Weyand was at odds with Von der Leyen since last summer, when she argued the EU-US trade deal with Trump 'was not a negotiation.' 1/2

Plot twist normalisation du RN: Alors que certain(e)s élus font des happenings coordonnés pour enlever les drapeaux européens de leurs mairies, la nièce de la putative candidate à la présidentielle de ce même parti est pas contente. CQFD: l’extrême-droite est aussi divisée que les autres sur l’UE.

So far the Trump speech at Davos is just an audio version of the US national security strategy -- very hard on Europe, hitting at great replacement theory. Strong on anti-climate.

Full Berlin statement on Ukraine: - Europe willing to put boost on the ground - US support could be limited at 'monitoring ceasefire and verification mechanism' i.e. could be still Russia's main interlocutor? - No binding commitments on EU/NATO memberships but EU membership is in sight, not NATO.

So the new US foreign policy is: - Backing and helping far-right parties in Europe - Expanding NATO outside of the EU (Gulfe? Israel?) - Making sure that Europe remains reliant on the US, and it is ok to blackmail to achieve this aim Full doc is here. www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

Big delegations -- including it seems Meloni's party -- did not vote. So yes, not a victory for Von der Leyen ...

Quentin Ariès @quentinaries.eurosky.social · 10/07/2025

Von der Leyen survives the motion of confidence. But only 553 European lawmakers actually voted. And for the 167 missing, I believe there is a lot of French left-leaning MEPs + overall The Left. Maybe this explains why so few abstained? They were not bothered to vote?

Exhibit B - The same media outlet is still posting promotional content to its running EU-funded projects. So the Editor-in-Chief can yell whatever he wants. On the money side, management is still keen to secure funding and keep good relationships with its former partners.
