The countdown to this year's EU parliament elections is well underway, but in many countries, the battle for votes seems to be being fought along national, not continental, lines. The dynamic is especially strong in France, where the EU elections are being framed by some parties as a forerunner to the 2027 presidential race – or "first and foremost mid-term elections", in the words of Jordan Bardella, head of list for the far-right Rassemblement National party, who is calling to "sanction Macron's Europe". "If I'm in the lead, I'll obviously ask for the National Assembly to be dissolved that v...

Responsible policymakers are informed by evidence, especially in times of uncertainty. To navigate complex trade-offs, deal with unpredictability, and balance the interests of the present, the near- and the far-future, evidence-based strategic foresight is a powerful compass to guide decisions. Used well, Europe’s advanced foresight tools can give it a long-term competitive edge. That’s why it’s so alarming that EU heads of state and government appear to be ready to ignore the wealth of evidence at their disposal, if the leaked priority-setting document for the next five years of the EU instit...

The European model is at risk of being killed off by the US-China rivalry and the coming decade will be decisive for its survival, French President Emmanuel Macron warned on Thursday, calling on the European Union to become ever-more united and sovereign. In a 108-minute speech delivered at the Sorbonne, where seven years ago the then-newly elected leader delivered a first address on his vision for Europe, Macron repeated numerous times that "the rules of the game have changed" on several fronts including geopolitics, the economy and trade, and culture. "We must be lucid about the fact that ou...

The President of China, Xi Jinping, will visit Europe in around two weeks, where he is expected to make stops in France, Hungary and Serbia. One reason for the visit is Italy's decision to withdraw - after some hesitation - from China's grandiose New Silk Road programme, which Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni will finalise in Beijing in July. Rome's decision increases the importance of Hungary and Serbia, lying in central and eastern Europe, if China is to have unimpeded access to the EU by land. A new agreement with the Italian government will not be reached until Xi completes his Europe...

Earlier in April, almost all member states signed the declaration of La Hulpe, together with the EU institutions and the Belgian presidency, as a strong signal of the importance of social policy and the European Pillar of Social Rights. But just days ago, the European Parliament ratified a new set of fiscal rules that the Council agreed upon last December, which signals a troubling return toward austerity measures. If you remember when governments across Europe slashed budgets, cut services, and generally made life harder for everyone, then you know why many are alarmed by this change in polic...

The situation in the Middle East remains worrying, even if the escalation is frozen at the moment. Israel continues to bomb Gaza and to clash with Hezbollah in Lebanon, but tension with Iran seems to have eased. The European Union may yet play a fundamental role in the de-escalation in the region – but a lot will also depend on the result of the European elections in June. “The European Union will be called upon to respond to this long-term challenge and, if possible, with a majority in the European Parliament and with a government in the European Commission capable of taking decisions that ar...
