Esperando a que me expliquen el significado los conceptos que ahora son clave para el éxito de la izquierda ("arraigo", "sensibilidad por el territorio", "soberanismos", etc.) con un mínimo de precisión, o al menos en algún tipo de relación con la economia política.

Far-right groups in the European Parliament are casting themselves as protectors of the EU’s natural habitats in a bid to slow a proposal to fast-track renewable energy projects. That has made them unlikely allies for nature-conscious lawmakers.

Después de incrementar sus capacidades y degradar las defensas rusas los ucranianos ya pueden realizar ataques masivos de drones en el propio Moscú. Diría que esto rompe el pacto social de Putin sobre su “operación militar especial” de tres días. kyivindependent.com/over-70-dron...

Just back from a fascinating and inspiring week in Ukraine. Shift in momentum in the war is clearly felt and believed in Kyiv. Big question is whether Ukraine can push its deep strike campaign to another level. On the downside, there is no magic solution to the energy situation next winter.

-> Among those sending other representatives were France, Germany, Italy, and Poland, so four of the five largest EU countries. Only larger EU country to send their defence minister was Spain. Quite telling.

Defence ministries still are quite distant to the EU. Despite a growing role of the EU in defence industry and financing, I looked at yesterday's meeting of EU defence ministers, and, well: -> only 11 countries send their defence ministers, the rest lower ranking representatives.

My reporting finds that sexual violence against Palestinians by Israeli authorities is widespread. I'm grateful to these assault victims for sharing with me the brutality they endured. Whether we're pro-Israel or pro-Palestinian, we should unite in being anti-rape. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/o...

81% support a common security and defence policy among EU member states. That is four out of five citizens.

A cross-party group of 30 MEPs on Thursday reported for duty. Their mission: pushing for a European Defence Union. www.euractiv.com/news/a-cross...

Energy independence is the only way to have a strong and independent Europe. We must put an end to the fossil fuel era. Green leaders from all over Europe are discussing the way forward and how to push for more EU independence at all levels of government, from Mayors to MEPs.

Yesterday a cross-party group of MEPs (from EPP, S&D, Renew & Greens) launched the 🇪🇺Parliament's first European Defence Union group. Their message to national leaders: stop blocking EU defence.

Los españoles del barco Hondius están deseando llegar a España y nosotros deseando recibirles. Una vez lleguen, tras evaluar su estado de salud, serán trasladados al Hospital Gómez Ulla para cuidarles y atenderles en las mejores condiciones. ¿Qué tiene de especial? 🧵

The #hantavirus outbreak onboard the MV Hondius is an rapidly evolving situation. Here are some takeaways from the #WHO press conference today. A key one for me: the US and Argentina, both recent WHO dropouts, are cooperating with the WHO-led efforts. www.statnews.com/2026/05/07/h...

For two centuries, fossil fuels were cheap, reliable (and quietly disastrous) sources of energy. Amazingly, Trump has managed to reverse that. The oilman's president has probably hastened the green transition. Give the man a prize. Me @financialtimes.com (free to read): as.ft.com/r/03a0b6f5-7...

Can Europe avoid the next energy crisis? As the EU accelerates its green transition, this question becomes urgent. The EU is right to raise ambitions on electrification but the target is stretching. Only a more aggressive approach will suffice. - @noahjgordon.bsky.social https://bit.ly/4tQsein
