Off to a new start @dgap.org 🥳✌️

What joy to read the pertinent explainer on Czech 🇨🇿 coalition agreement by my new colleague #MilanNic @politico.eu first in the morning. Milan's bottom-line: Future PM Babiš will become a “problem very soon” as he will need to show that he is “fighting Brussels.”

Europe may not hold the cards.

But Europe holds the eggs
So the US went from wanting Greenland to wanting eggs

I really do hope (and expect) that different to the 100 bn Sondervermögen the new 🇩🇪 defence bazooka will be spend in a European and coordinated manner. And that this coordination will be taken seriously

What Canada has to teach 🇪🇺
Dear Europe: You are next on the hit list. Good arguments, preemptive concessions, appeals to friendship, and flattery will not protect you. Discard those fantasies and prepare to hit back hard.

Eine Klausurtagung. Was man in jeder guten Organisation macht, kann dem #EuropäischenRat sicher nicht schaden ;)
Europe needs to assume greater responsibility for its own defence. We have a common interest in doing more and better at European level.

That’s why I have invited leaders to discuss European defence on 3 February at the Château de Limont. #LimontRetreat

In our text with Ronja Kepin, we drew attention to anti-democratic tendencies in #France and #Italy. It seems that serious risks in this area are also materialising in Germany.

It is a privilege to be in Kyiv alongside @eucopresident.bsky.social Costa and Commissioner Kos.

In my first visit since taking up office, my message is clear: the European Union wants Ukraine to win this war.

We will do whatever it takes for that.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is ready for Denmark to support both common debt and more state aid to increase investment in European defence and to increase European competitiveness, she said in an interview with the Danish news agency 1/

"Wir haben nicht halluziniert, es war schon mal anders" @beimwort.bsky.social
Es bleibt unverändert bemerkenswert und dürfte zu einem großen Teil ihre Beliebtheit erklären: Merkel hat (öffentlich) einfach gar nichts Schneidendes, nicht Scharfes, nicht Vernichtendes, nichts Verurteilendes, nichts Patziges. Das gibt es schon nicht oft.

I'm not really surprised, but still a bit disappointed at how little the European media (except those specialising in EU politics) are covering the commissioner hearings and the current crisis within the EP "grand coalition".

This is important stuff that will have a real impact on EU policy-making.
