President von der Leyen is trying to sell yesterday’s surrender as the “biggest trade deal ever”.
But this is not a free trade deal. It is a package of concessions that were extorted from Europe by Trump’s threats.

Asociația ARK Oradea a anunțat miercuri că va „acționa în judecată” Primăria Oradea, după ce instituția, prin semnătura primarului Florin Birta, a decis să interzică încă o dată organizarea Marșului Oradea Pride 2025. Reprezentanții comunității LGBT+ anunță că nu renunță și că vor ține marșul și fără aprobare, pe o rută alternativă, „sub forma unui protest paşnic”.
