Wolves lose their privileged status - putting them above livestock, ponies (think Dolly), dogs (one saved pooch was called Bruno) and (also thinking of the Netherlands) children too. Decision now taken
Britain, I hear, was opposed to the EU plan

My mother’s MS has shaped my view on assisted dying
From a position of health it’s easy to say we’d take the quick route. But real life isn’t like that

Hommage à Saint V
My daughter is at l'université des enfants this morning
A special day as they are marking the founding of @ulbruxelles.bsky.social with Saint Verhaegen day
This is not a fete approved by the Roman Catholic church, far from it, a greater humanist tradition

But reform is now too urgent.

It should move before the election

Telling or ironic that Bulgaria and Romania are finally about to fully join Schengen while it is being dismantled more and more in the inside...
Bulgaria and Romania belong fully to the Schengen area.
Removing internal controls at land borders is the last hurdle.
I welcome the positive outcome of informal discussions in Budapest today.
The Council’s formal decision is next.
Let 2025 see Schengen become stronger.

Europe's populist revolt is not a march to achieve white supremacy. It is actually a civic backlash against elitist notions of superiority and inferiority.

The populist revolt is not a ‘whitelash’
European voters are demanding a shared, civic future.
