We keep getting bashed over the head with how important it is for the EU to complete its single market. But the European Commission railroaded its new plan through in days with almost no consultation, leaving many in Brussels seething about a “nonsense” document www.euractiv.com/news/one-mar...

The devastation in Lebanon is clearly visible. But for children, the impact goes far beyond what we can see. UNICEF continues to advocate and work for their safety, well-being and protection. The ceasefire must hold.

While EU leaders look to prioritise competitiveness in the next #EUBudget MEP Maravillas Inmaculada Abadía Jover reminds us that competitiveness and inclusion go hand in hand with a strong #Europe needing strong societies.

England’s housing crisis is often blamed on migrants, but the data points elsewhere: ~32,000 asylum seekers in hotels versus ~998,000 empty homes, including 265,000 long-term vacant. Brownfield land alone could support around 1.5 million homes. The capacity already exists.

When homes sit empty at scale and viable land is ignored, blaming migrants isn’t analysis, it’s deflection. Housing failure is rooted in policy choices, not people seeking refuge. Solutions demand governance, not scapegoating.

MEP Estelle Ceulemans raises concerns over ‘problematic’ #MMF proposal supporting the #EUFunds4Social coalition’s message and stressing that ‘the social dimension cannot be treated as a secondary priority.’

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was established in 1970, following the first #EarthDay, with a clear mission to protect human health and the environment. But, since President Donald Trump’s second term began, rapid-fire policy shifts have pivoted the agency away from public health.

💥Hungary's first post-election poll: Péter Magyar's Tisza leads Viktor Orbán's Fidesz 66–25 among certain voters — a 41-point gap. On April 12 election night, the margin was just 15 points (53–38). Orbán's party is in freefall.

industriAll Europe’s message is clear: public investment must serve the public interest. ‘Made in Europe’ must become a genuine tool for re industrialisation with quality jobs, social cohesion and long term resilience at its core—not a hollow slogan.
