The survival of the European Green Deal could rest on the upcoming European Elections, Green MEPs have warned. They say that if right-wing parties make significant gains in June, plans to protect nature and mitigate climate change could be watered down or even disappear completely. Speaking at a briefing on Tuesday before his last session in the European Parliament on Wednesday, co-president of the Green group of MEPs Philippe Lamberts called out the “absolute bullsh*t” of politicians claiming to fight for climate action while doing the opposite. He criticised centrist politicians who he claim...

Petr Bystron, who is second on Alternative for Germany's (AfD) candidate list for the European parliament elections in June, denies allegations that claim he took money to spread pro-Russian information. Bystron is being accused of accepting 25,000 euros from the pro-Russian network Voice of Europe. He says the accusations are part of a "defamation campaign." AfD’s co-chairperson, Tino Chrupalla, downplayed the allegations in the German parliament on Tuesday. "The presumption of innocence also applies to Peter Bystron. We are talking about suspicions, allegations. Currently, there is no eviden...

We are on the cusp of a small donor revolution in politics and civil society. Campaign funding, once the preserve of the state and a handful of wealthy individuals, is now increasingly shaped by grassroots payments — ranging from one-off contributions, equivalent to the price of a coffee, all the way through to regular standing orders in support of policy aims or wider social causes. This shift, sparked by the advent of social media and other digital tools, is widening civic engagement in particular causes or politically-driven campaigns and has the added benefit of providing donor groups with...

Has the European Union got it right in its recent migration pact with Egypt? According to the United Nations, some 34,000 people have entered the EU so far this year outside of regulated channels, mostly across the Mediterranean Sea. Brussels announced the signing of a €7.4 billion agreement with Egypt on 17 March, which includes provisions to curb migration amid concerns that conflicts overseas could aggravate the refugee crisis. While rights groups have criticised this pact and other deals with Mauritania and Tunisia for ignoring humanitarian law, the EU maintains these agreements will allow...

If you haven’t been watching HBO’s new series The Regime, you should be. Having premiered earlier this month and ending its 6-episode run on 7 April, this miniseries already stands alongside True Detective: Night Country (a significant return to form for the anthology series) and 3 Body Problem (a slow burn which yields so many rewards if you can get past the first two episodes) as one of the best new shows of 2024 so far. (NB: I haven’t seen One Day yet, but considering how David Nicholls’ novel left me robbed of all eye moisture, I’m waiting to be in the right frame of mind for that particul...

The upcoming European elections, widely regarded as the world's largest transnational vote, are set to bring about significant policy shifts, affecting the EU's position on Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas war, the transition to a greener continent and various economic challenges.

The clenched teeth. The furrowed brow. The bulging biceps. Europeans raised their eyebrows when two moody black and white photos of French President Emmanuel Macron letting loose on a punching bag were posted to Instagram by his official photographer, Soazig de la Moissonnière. In no time, social media users couldn't help but draw comparisons between Macron and the legendary fictional boxer Rocky Balboa. Others couldn't resist poking fun at the timing of these images, which emerged as Macron urged Europe to toughen up its response to Russia's actions in Ukraine. Some even playfully speculated...

Europe's journey over three-quarters of a century reflects a vision articulated by one of its founding fathers, Robert Schuman: "Europe will not be made all at once, or according to a single plan. It will be built through concrete achievements." In keeping with Schuman's foresight, Europe has evolved step by step, with each achievement profoundly improving the lives of its citizens. This evolving Europe transcends geographical definitions, embodying a community committed to human rights, democracy, and the rule of law. These values, championed by the Council of Europe, the leading organisation...

On the final day, which brought to a close three days of debates on geopolitical issues, the head of European diplomacy Josep Borrell declared that the most important geopolitical issues facing the European Union today are linked to Ukraine, Gaza and the southern countries, as well as defense. Regarding Ukraine, he also warned that "for the first time in our history, we have to supply arms to a country at war" and that "this obliges us to work together, faster and better". "We have perhaps hesitated too much, too often. Two years ago, we were ready to give helmets. Today, we're giving F-16s, b...
