-🍿 End of year stream - EU influence ranking
-❓ FAQ politique européenne (envoyez vos questions sur ngl.link/mepassistants)
I discovered this OFFICIAL account of the French Foreign Affairs Ministry (on X) designed to counter in style hostile allegations on social media.

Fighting fire with fire if you will.

My realm (so basically Ixelles) for a EU equivalent. That'd be a nice change from our usual flaccid messaging.

It is trully uncanny the speed at which so-called "patriots" will get on their knees to deepthroat whatever foreign powers has decided to bully their own country to impose a foreign agenda.

Better hope they're not your neighbours if Europe ever gets invaded...

Can't even write the name of her former commissioner, most weaksauce statement ever, politically inaudible message, etc.

Yep, that's the "geopolitical Commission" alright. Washington is quaking in its shoes for sure.

Trump really was right when he said our leaders are weak.
Freedom of speech is the foundation of our strong and vibrant European democracy.

We are proud of it. We will protect it.

Because the @ec.europa.eu is the guardian of our values.
We strongly condemn the U.S. decision to impose travel restrictions on five European individuals, including former Commissioner Thierry Breton.

2nd warning shot from the US (after threatening to sanction a list of EU companies) to try to force the EU to exempt US companies from EU digital laws.

They underline that they "only" went after ex-officials, probably not to fully burn bridges and avoid retaliation.

All eyes on VDL now.

It may seem like overreaction for 3 Russian border guards, but the principle of hybrid war is to test the limits and reactions of the adversary when faced with increasingly agressive actions.

It starts with border guards, then it becomes little green men and finally a bataillon.

For the last stream of the year, my audience and I did our own EU power ranking for fun, using Politico 28 as a basis and then "fixing" it.

And here's the result !

Ukraine reparation loan, Mercosur agreement, MFF, new US threats, etc.

This week's summit will determine whether EU Member States have a survival instinct in the face of strategic threats and the will to act accordingly, or whether the EU is becoming the new League of Nations.

Regardless of results, it's interesting to see that the one mobilising to the rescue of a major EU plan is Merz. Is he the new "EU powerbroker" ?

A few years ago, it would have been Macron, and before that Merkel (although she wouldn't have lifted a finger against Russia).
The crisis meeting between the German chancellor and the Belgian premier is aimed at unblocking the reparations loan to Ukraine. It comes as Ursula von der Leyen offered sweeping guarantees to protect Belgium.

Terrible take from an anti-corporate lobbying organisation who claims to have uncovered a "secret cabal" to "undermine EU democracy" (nothing less).

Coalitions are (as pointed out by Politico) lobbying 101. Everyone does it (even NGOs) because it's a very useful tool.

Si on m'avait dit qu'un jour je trouverai un communiqué du NPA based...

C'est clair, lucide, cohérent avec leur positionnement général et ça reprend pas le narratif russe par anti OTAN-isme primaire.

Ça devrait prendre des notes ailleurs à gauche.
🇺🇦 Après l'annonce du plan de "paix" de Trump et Poutine, le NPA tient à réaffirmer son soutien et sa solidarité totale au peuple ukrainien, à sa résistance armée et non armée.

The CJEU has sorta kinda harmonised same-sex mariage as any same-sex mariage concluded legally in a Member State must be administrativaly recognised in other Member States, even if they don't have same-sex mariage, to enable the married couple to live in the other Member State.
The European Court of Justice has ruled that member states must recognise same-sex marriages lawfully concluded in another member state. The decision is poised to be greeted positively by Europe's LGBTQ+ community.
EU countries must mutually recognise same-sex marriages, ECJ rules

Les cris d'orfraie sur le discours du CEMA illustrent notre faiblesse sur la défense européenne.

On fait le paon en se voyant comme seule puissance militaire d'UE car on a des nukes et moquant ceux qui s'appuie sur les US.

Mais derrière on est aux abonnés absents et ça se voit.

Yesterday saw the death of the cordon sanitaire in the Parliament.

The EPP revanchism and strive for hegemony is the main culprit, but it was a team effort.

Short-sighted divisions in the S&D were deftly used by the far-right to blow-up the one thing standing in their way.

Hier j'ai terminé mon réact sur la série Parlement, qui après 4 saisons (et 55h de commentaires de ma part) prend fin.

Quel bilan du coup pour cette série qui faisait le pari inédit de parler de politique européenne sur le ton de l'humour ?

Pas loin d'être un incontournable.

🧵Aujourd’hui la Cour de Justice européenne a rendu une décision importante sur la Directive sur les salaires minimum.

Cette loi adoptée en 2022 (sous présidence FR) dit comment les Etats peuvent définir un salaire minimum “adéquat”, que ce soit par la loi ou la négo collective.
