New year, new EU?
In 1754, Benjamin Franklin designed the famous "Join or Die" poster later used to argue for independence and against loose confederation. It could now be applied to Europe

EU's foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas is accused of "coming out too aggressively against Russia" and "of challenging U.S. President Donald Trump". Well, it is a welcome change after so much wishy washy EU diplomacy www.politico.eu/article/kaja... @kajakallas.bsky.social @hadjalahbib.bsky.social
Kaja Kallas is ‘acting like a prime minister,’ critics of EU’s top diplomat say
The EU’s foreign policy chief has faced a barrage of criticism in her first months, from coming out too aggressively against Russia to challenging U.S. President Donald Trump.

Manufacturing can ensure that the EU remains an indispensable partner to a more transactional U.S. administration. But Europe’s trump card is being jeopardized by both neglect and hesitancy, Sander Tordoir writes.

La reducción de la jornada laboral repartirá mejor los frutos del crecimiento.

I cannot say much about the technical discussions on nuclear deterrents.
But from a European integration perspective, it puts a laser focus on decision-making problems.
A nuclear deterrent can only work if there is a single decision-maker who can decide quickly and without committee or veto.

There clearly is a need for a European nuclear umbrella independent of the US given panicked discussions in the U.K., Poland, Germany, France. The choice is as always: a national approach risking proliferation. Or working together. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Pour financer le réarmement français et européen il y a d'autres solutions que de tailler dans les dépenses sociales et les services publics. Et cela d'autant plus qu’une telle politique pousserait nos concitoyens dans les bras des amis de Trump et de Poutine.
