📈 More laws, more policies, more regulations. But administrations aren’t growing at the same pace 🚨 This mismatch risks poor services, unequal treatment & frustration. That’s where #SUPA comes in: from 2025–2028, we’ll study how to improve rule design & strengthen modern democracies 🏛️✨

New publication in @wepsocial.bsky.social! Are young men becoming more conservative? This debate requires a) more nuance and b) theoretical explanations for often descriptive results. With Amy Alexander and Nicholas Charron, we try addressing both. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Yesterday, the assigned Advocate General at the EU Court of Justice recommended that the EU directive on adequate minimum wages should be annulled in full. This would be a major blow to the social pillar of the EU. 1/5 curia.europa.eu/juris/docume...

🚨🚨 Major opinion by AG Emiliou in the area of EU competence to set minimum wages. AG concludes that EU directive goes beyond the scope of the EU's competences in the area supporting the view of Sweden and Denmark. 🧵

The civil liberties committee's ability to cross-examine senior government officials and launch inquiries into politically sensitive topics have helped propel its status.

Frugal no more? Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederisken says the EU has to look at state aid, joint debt and the common budget “with new eyes.” “I don’t see how we are going to finance it all with well-known funds,” she says about the new priorities on defence and competitiveness.

Så er det i dag ved middagstid, at EP stemmer om Ursula von der Leyens nye EU-Kommission. Forløbet har været langt og hektisk, og @altingetdk.bsky.social har dækket det tæt. Her får du en sammenfatning med links til mange af vores artikler 👇 www.altinget.dk/artikel/gids...

MEPs will cast their votes on the new European Commission at midday, paving the way for Ursula von der Leyen’s second era to officially begin Sunday. The new Commission is also a triumph, though, for Manfred Weber. Today's Brussels Playbook explains.
