Europe’s highest court struck down Malta’s controversial “golden passport” program, which effectively allows people to buy citizenship, in a landmark ruling today.
Malta’s ‘golden passport’ scheme is illegal, EU top court rules

Emmanuel Macron’s long-standing insistence that Europe wean itself off US military support has not always been well received.
But now, as Donald Trump turns away from the continent, the French president is having his I-told-you-so moment.

The thing is, freedom to marry is a right protected by the European Convention on Human Rights. The European Court of Human Rights has been clear: any national law that restricts this right in a way that undermines its core essence is considered unlawful.
