Lots of terrible & misinformed takes on Poland tonight, proving once again how shallow the coverage of Poland by most international media is: this time based on an out of context misreading of Tusk’s remark on nuclear & a misunderstanding of his comments on military training. 🫠

En route to Brussels pondering the #btw25. Climate was less salient in the campaign and as top issue, but people haven't stopped caring! I look forward to discussing what that means tomorrow when launching @heathergrabbe.bsky.social's and my @bruegel.bsky.social report with @dpart.bsky.social data

“Stability requires that people trust institutions, and institutions become more likely to fail when people think they are failing.” Compulsory reading for Europeans, too www.ft.com/content/4e3f...

ETS 2 – carbon pricing for transport and buildings – is critical for EU climate policy, but it must be carefully managed to protect vulnerable citizens and maintain support for the transition. Glad to be quoted in Correctiv's reporting on this important issue: correctiv.org/en/europe/20...

Merz was cruising to victory. And then he wanted more, broke his own statement, riled up Merkel, split the CDU. And has actually done what was hard and unlikely: give people an argument to vote AfD.

Am I the only one noting that after demonizing China for years, Trump seems to be letting them off lightly, while going full tilt against Canada? Is it Musk's business interests? Have Chinese players been buying Trumpcoin?

Yes, Orban's opening salvo was to comprehensively defund the political opposition or any other institution (media, civil sector, universities) who could stand up to him. He didn't have to do it by stealth like this; he did it out in the open.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered... Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” ― George Orwell, 1984

As J-M Le Pen always said: voters prefer the original to the copy. Acting tough on immigration is not just not working for Europe's centre right parties, it's pushing them out the door www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Great piece by @jonhenley.bsky.social. I get to outline the vicious cycle of far right support. As mainstream parties move right on immigration, voters adjust their positions to the right, far-right support increases, mainstream parties move more to the right... www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

YouGov find just 30% of people think we were right to leave the EU. The lowest number yet. Just 10% of 18-24 year olds think it was the right decision.

#Trump’s impact on the #EU will arise from economic interdependence but also from political contagion. In this short @bruegel.bsky.social piece with @heathergrabbe.bsky.social, we argue that political channels are as important as direct economic ones. www.bruegel.org/first-glance...

🇪🇺 Political contagion in Europe: can the EU survive Trumpism? Trumpism could fatally undermine European integration if governments do not stand firm and defend the EU’s law-based system by @heathergrabbe.bsky.social and @pisaniferry.bsky.social www.bruegel.org/first-glance...
