It has become received wisdom in Brussels and Washington that there is a new “euro-sclerosis”: that the EU economy is lagging the US

This view is wrong

A little primer on the measurement of productivity – and why reports of the economic death of Europe are greatly exaggerated🧵

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.
The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU
The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

De blokken in de Tweede Kamer 1986-2025.

In 2025:
Radicaal rechts + rechts = 73 zetels = geen meerderheid (in 2023 wel)
Rechts + centrum = 71 zetels = geen meerderheid
Centrum + links = 77 zetels = meerderheid

[En ja het is mij bekend dat je partijen ook anders in blokken kan indelen]

The far-right majority in the Dutch parliament (BBB-FvD-JA21-PVV-SGP-VVD) has just designated “Antifa” a terrorist organization.

This is a dark day for Dutch democracy and the final nail in the coffin of the VVD as a serious liberal democratic party.

Indeed, I was there when they changed their logo from a plain “VU” to the “Griffioen”, with quite a story (distinct from your Euro one) to back it up. They also have a seal that has been around for ages.
