The disappointments surrounding von der Leyen continue to accumulate, but Costa is the real surprise. He has always been a great statesman, deeply committed to responsibility and legality. He now occupies a position of great importance, yet his voice is tepid and lacking force.

Btw, do not even expect Kallas to have said, or to do, anything meaningful on Greenland. Her political horizon begins and ends with Russia. Much as in Gaza, Venezuela, or Iran which simply do not seem to matter to her.
Ps: i don’t hate her, she was a nice PM, she is simply not what we need rn.

Many things have been said in recent days, European troops supposedly heading to Greenland, urgent calls between defence ministers, secret meetings of selected member states at the Berlaymont with vdL about “building a European powerhouse”, military contingency plans against a possible invasion…

Trump’s latest words must warn us at the highest level. Ten years after his arrival at the White House, we should not think he’s joking. His continuous threats against Greenland are no other thing but a glimpse of the future he seeks. No more empty words, no more tweets.

Renew’s president, Valérie Hayer, betrayed what she and her group claimed to represent. She behaves like a MAGA republican, protectionist and eurosceptic. Like any good french people, she would die to prevent what benefits the rest of Europe, we must not underestimate her, nor Macron.

A quarter of a century later and numerous french boycotts, EU-Mercosur trade deal has been approved by the Council. Now it’s up the parliament. Some EPP government voted against it (their MEPs will do so), while Renew and S&D are expected to vote mostly in favor, the majority becomes narrow.

Trump continues threaten us, our territory integrity, our political and democtaric decisions. Now he’s taking on some of the top EU’s key decisions makers. I’m looking forward to seeing the deeply concerns tweets from UVdL and blind HRVP. Costa must be the voice that characterized him as Port. PM.

European citizens are locked up like animals. Close sources claim they are being mistreated and humiliated by the genocidal state of Israel. Your silence and inaction will be your political grave @kajakallas.bsky.social @eudiplomacy.bsky.social

What would you do if Russia illegally detained more than 100 EU citizens during a humanitarian mission @kajakallas.bsky.social? Your role demands action to defend European lives. The Israeli government is no less threat than Putin.

It's been almost 15 hours since more than 100 EU citizens were illegally arrested by Israel, 15 hours and the useless HRVP @kajakallas.bsky.social is still silent, everyone knows she wasn't ready for this role, but her work has been even more deplorable than expected.

European Commission 2024-2029 🇪🇺

Hay comisión, por mucho que pese a falsos patriotas. Ribera es en palabras de VdL “primera vicepresidenta” y de facto la segunda de la Comisión. Al igual que con Calviño, España lidera una vez más en Europa 🇪🇸🇪🇺

Se acabó. Fue un placer, un dolor, un orgullo. Y "La última" casi una catarsis, porque el odio y la mentira intoxican si pasas mucho tiempo cerca. Sirvió, claro que sirvió. No hay más que ver las reacciones histéricas que generaba. Gracias!

Hello everyone!

It seems there is a lot going on here these days, so I decided to come and see it for myself.

From today on, follow my activities here too!

Los líderes de la coalición VdL (@ManfredWeber, @IratxeGarper y @ValerieHayer) se han vuelto a reunir hoy en Bruselas.

El acuerdo para desbloquear la nueva Comisión Europea está cerca.

Queda consensuar si habrá algún tipo de pacto de coalición por escrito. efe.com/mundo/2024-1...
