La complaisance avec les pires mouvements conservateurs au prétexte qu'ils sont "religieux", cela mène à ça : un article apologétique dans le NYT sur la New Apostolic Réformation, un réseau d'églises qui a porté Trump au pouvoir et qui rêve de l'instauration d'une théocratie chrétienne.
Les historiens et sociologues américains du "christian nationalism" et du mouvement évangélique s'arrachent les cheveux avec cet article de Molly Worthen paru dans le New York Times. Il y a de quoi, c'est une pièce d'apologétique, pas un article honnête et sérieux.

What can we make of the EU decision to issue a €90bn loan to Ukraine - without tapping into Russia's immobilised reserves? In my latest piece for @ecfr.eu I outline seven takeaways from the decision and why there is (much) more to it than meets the eye [Thread - 1/9]

A quick explanation of how this borrowing to assist Ukraine will work. "Enhanced cooperation" means EU law is being used, but some Member States opt out. The process has been applied a few times before, but never before re the EU budget. 1/
🚨 The latest conclusions say the EU will trigger Article 20 of enhanced cooperation to ensure that any mobilisation of EU resources to guarantee joint debt "will not have an impact on the financial obligations of the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia," as previously reported by Euronews.
🚨 Bombshell at #EUCO at almost 2 am: António Costa has proposed to use common borrowing to meet Ukraine's most immediate financial needs while technical work on the reparations loan continues in the coming months.

Messy mix-match solution. Leaders are still discussing.
