Meanwhile, the EU regime is moving further right, fast.

Europaparlament stimmt für leichtere Abschiebungen in Drittstaaten

Das EU-Parlament hat dafür gestimmt, dass künftig leichter und in mehr Länder abgeschoben werden soll. Außerdem stimmten sie für eine europaweite Liste von als sicher eingestuften Herkunftsländern.

I agree. I don't think the ECB can easily devalue the euro as it doesn't intervene. What is more, many in the ECB are talking about the benefits of a stronger euro.

What a joke. Time to activate rule of law toolbox & freeze eu fund in respect of 🇸🇰 was months ago but instead @ec.europa.eu and @consilium.europa.eu are happy to look the other way while serving us usual nonsense to hide inaction & bargaining chip approach

In December, EU leaders resorted to enhanced cooperation to issue a €90 billion loan to Ukraine. Now, Ursula von der Leyen says this legal tool should also be used in areas where there is a "lack of progress or ambition".

Is a two-speed Europe the answer to our problems?

I take a closer look.
