It was such a pleasure to discuss with the brilliant @shafakelif literature and politics, minorities in the Ottoman Empire, how the past conditions us, the role of writers in society, and much more... The joint interview is out in today's @theguardian.com link👇

We needed a little light - and here it is. Finally positive noises on the EU youth mobility scheme. Not what was there as EU members- not even what was first offered but so so much better than the situation now:

What an ambitious project this is! 22 artists across 3 continents. Each making new work responding to European colonial legacies.

In Cyprus this month the fabulous Mohamed Ben Slama fromTunisia weaves tales of displacement resilience and hope. If you’re in the neighbourhood you’re in for a treat
Step into the rhythm of history, culture and identity as Mohamed Ben Slama the @contesteddesires artist-in-residence hosted by D6:EU and Larnaka 2030, brings the folkloric legend of “Boussadia” to life!

Artists, cultural producers, museums, historians, academics and politicians. A beautiful launch of this searching project with artists and the heritage institutions and communities that narrate our colonial identities..
We were delighted to host the #ContestedDesires launch presented by D6:EU & Larnaka 2030 at the Pierides Museum, Larnaca. A powerful gathering of 60 global artists & cultural leaders, setting the stage for vital dialogues on colonial heritage & environmental impact #CreativeEurope #CulturalDialogue

Great for some, but for British passport holders the 90 days for Schengen can be augmented by 90 days for Cyprus. We will see a further flurry of dual CY ID applications for those who can.

Trump did not invite France’s Macron, the UK’s Starmer or Germany’s Scholz for the inauguration but instead invited those countries’ fascists Reconquest/Zemmour (France), the AfD/Weidel (Germany) and Reform/Farage (UK).

As a friend just said, it’s not an inauguration. It’s a rally.

So there’s a 10 minute rule bill in parliament on Weds to debate an EU youth mobility scheme.

As the political earthquake reveals itself tremor by tremor across the water, liberals across the world jump ship from X and Facebook, hoping to dent the political power of unelected billionaires . But here in Europe we place Musk super fans at the centre of our democratic institutions:

Independent MEP Fidias Panayiotou met the billionaire in 2023 and has taken his line on some big political issues, from Ukraine to digital rules.
