The Europeanization of Humiliation
It’s not only EU policies—from trade to defense—that are becoming more Gaullist. European voters’ feelings toward the EU are also becoming more French.

This “summer of humiliation” gave rise to a sentiment that we Europeans are indeed weak. Like all things that are emerging, Europe is first a space that is experienced before being a space that is defined. Trump has added to that experience. 👉Column @ipq.bsky.social

Und zuletzt: 68% der EuropäerInnen sieht vor allem negative Folgen für Europa, dass das Abkommen auch eine Verpflichtung beinhaltet mehr militärische Güter aus den USA zu kaufen.

Es gibt also zu diesem Thema eine transnationale europäische öffentliche Meinung, die relativ eindeutig ist.

EU integration has historically been a top-down project. That may be changing. On defense, in particular, voters seem to be willing to go further in advancing EU sovereignty than its economic and political elites. 👉 With @alanderminna.bsky.social for @politico.eu

Very true, this: voters in Europe are ahead of most governing elites on European integration.

The same goes for another once ‘sensitive’ dossier: support for Gaza/Palestine

This is very uplifting - and I sincerely hope policymakers seize the momentum and drop their fear of right-wing forces, which are often louder than the general public.

This week’s dose of Europtimism with @josephdeweck.bsky.social:

Perhaps for the first time in the history of European integration, elites are lagging behind popular demand for more Europe. When will political leaders start capitalising on it ?

Ich mag auch nicht Aufrüstung. Aber es geht darum, ob wir überhaupt künftig noch selber bestimmen, wie unsere Klima- und Sozialpolitik aussieht. Oder ob künftig Putin und Trump Politik für uns machen. Zudem: Im Draghi-Bericht, den Simon teilte, spielt die Klimatransition eine zentrale Rolle.
