This is what we call good news for European independence: first ever European Critical Material in Estonia. The facility could satisfy up to 15% of the EU’s demand and is completely independent from China. News from @eurcorrespond.bsky.social via europeancorrespondent.com/en/2025-10-02

Happy to share that I am writing a new book! The call for an independent European stance is growing louder. But what does this look like? The book will tell the story of an emerging superpower—how a continent is becoming increasingly self-reliant. @tenhave.bsky.social @oscarvangelderen.bsky.social

🇪🇺 The EU will act in its own interests and will not automatically impose 100% tariffs on India and China at the request of Washington, — Ursula von der Leyen said to Soir.

"The EU will make its own decisions, we are preparing to sign a free trade agreement with India by the end of 2025."

Trump had already established his ideological undertone during his 2017 Warsaw speech, which warned of a West “under siege”. Now Trump’s plan to transform Europe in his image is well underway, writes @cwherrmann.bsky.social

Trump’s quest to transform the West
The Trump administration is drawing on Roman Empire imagery, and Trump’s own version of Christianity, to reinforce its perception of Western values and impose conditional bilateral partnerships.

A year on from Draghi’s call for radical change: Has the EU delivered? www.euronews.com/my-europe/20... @euronews.com summarised: not yet, the EU needs to bring its own policy towards Washington and it postponing the radical changes as proposed by Draghi. 🇩🇪/ 🇫🇷 need to take leadership again in 🇪🇺
A year on from Draghi’s call for radical change: Has the EU delivered?
One year after Mario Draghi’s landmark competitiveness report, which called for “radical change” not to lag behind the US and China, has the EU acted — or just reacted? #EuropeNews

Thomas Mann is 150 jaar geleden geboren. Zijn furieus, literair briljant verzet tegen de Nazi's trekt aandacht, mede dankzij de eerste Nederlandse vertaling van zijn hoogst actuele bundel 'Achtung Europa!' uit 1938. #BetrouwbareBronnen mét de eerste druk daarvan! vriendvandeshow.nl/bb/episodes/...

🎺🇪🇺🐘Oproep in de @telegraaf.nl van #EUolifant collectief voor #EUdebat.🎺

De grote vragen van onze tijd zijn grensoverschrijdend: veiligheid, energie, migratie, digitale soevereiniteit.
En dus zijn ze Europees 🇪🇺

Toch blijven ze opvallend afwezig in de Nederlandse campagne 🇳🇱🗳️.

This week’s Europe Dispatch with @phillipspobrien.bsky.social:

Europe has enough money, technological know-how, and an industrial base to meet the challenge of strategic autonomy. But it will not happen overnight, and Trump has opened a window of vulnerability. What Europe therefore needs is time.
Buying Time: Europe’s Trump Dilemma
Europe finds itself squeezed between Putin and Trump. In this week’s Europe Dispatch, Minna Ålander explains how Europe is trying to deal with Trump.

Beste IJsbrand, dank voor je bericht! Ik ben bang dat de vertaling alleen fysiek te verkrijgen is (niet als e-book). Hopelijk kan je ‘m weer verkrijgen als je terug bent in NL

🗳️ Populism is a warning sign.

English local elections show it again: People feel abandoned & look scapegoats.

Drawing on own research & others, I argue 👇🏽

💡 To counter populism: We need to reinvest in citizens, e.g. housing, health & dignity.

Short 🧵

To Counter Populism and Bolster Security, Europe Must Reinvest In Its Citizens
Facing security threats and rising populism, Europe needs state investment in citizens, not austerity that fuelled discontent.
