#NewPaper: "Europe’s overt submission to #Trump is emblematic of a broader malaise", write our Acting Co-Director @onethuthree.bsky.social and Senior Policy Fellow @jannikjansen.bsky.social in their latest Policy Position, first published in @theguardian.com. 👉 www.delorscentre.eu/en/publicati...

If Europe keeps placating its own far right, how can it possibly stand up to Trump?

European leaders have been pulled to the right on migration, the climate crisis and Israel. Their weakness is undermining the democratic principles on which the EU was built.

This week, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by @ftm.eu on malign foreign influencing strategies and EU’s response to it.

EU has the power to fight foreign meddling – but isn’t using it, democracy expert says

Foreign actors are intensfying their efforts to influence Europe’s democracies, and the EU is scrambling to respond. Its lawmakers are set to vote this week on creating national transparency registers...

Our deputy director @onethuthree.bsky.social and policy fellow @jannikjansen.bsky.social published a strong OpEd in @theguardian.com, calling on #EU leaders to take a stance against the far right to defend European values internationally - a worthwhile read! 👉 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Great new big-picture OpEd by my colleagues @onethuthree.bsky.social and @jannikjansen.bsky.social on the “European way”, and how the EU can maintain its political agency.

Jannik Jansen @jannikjansen.bsky.social · 14d

Europe cannot afford to treat its values as expendable. Each concession to the far right corrodes democracy at home and erodes its credibility abroad. By reducing principles to luxuries, Europe risks losing not just its dignity but political agency.

Great to see @onethuthree.bsky.social and @jannikjansen.bsky.social in the Guardian making the important point that Europe giving in to the far right on immigration, climate and Gaza weakens its position in the world.

Driven by fear of the far right, the EU is losing its compass, whether on migration, climate or Gaza. By undermining its own principles, Europe weakens its global position and risks losing not just dignity but political agency.

Yesterday, the EU postponed a major antitrust fine against Google in its adtech case - reportedly after Šefčovič lobbied to avoid clashing with the fragile US trade deal and the promised cut in car tariffs.

Carmakers are putting the EU auto industry at risk by lobbying against the EV transition.

A report from @delorsberlin.bsky.social shows that not only will the pushback against the 2035 target not save the industry, but these efforts are putting Europe at a global disadvantage.

🧵 In the trade world, this week was a rather hectic one. The Turnberry outcome underline the fact that negotiations with Trump are not one-off events but an ongoing process. A fact that undermines the idea that this week has brought stability.
