She could simply boycott like many artists did, but she doesn’t want to pay that price, she prefers instead to try to profit from the situation. Quite lame actually.

Third world countries getting contaminated by woke speech and consequently screwed… the woke professors in the West are not the ones getting worse living standards out of the silly policies they inspire. Lower French investment in Algeria has real consequences for people in Algeria. The woke guys in the West will continue to afford and consume French wine.

Nobody was expecting the Spanish inquisition.

He’s being wanted by German police.

Very hard to predict, but the more the war lasts, the least people will fly via the Gulf, which will increase prices for all connections from Europe to Asia and Australia… But I would say that now is too early to buy for October… As a general rule in life.

I still haven’t found what I’m looking for…

Hungary is a terrorist state. This can’t be tolerated, with or without elections. Everyone is just waiting for the elections… but nothing is assured, and I don’t really have much hope on a transparent process there. Time to act, if this “plays into Orban’s hands” well too bad, that’s the price of decades of stupidity among Hungarian voters. But Hungary must be stopped.

Twitter always had a fraction of Facebook or Instagram users. It was/is popular with certain niches, more or less popular in certain countries, but not the network to find your family or friends.

Politicians and reporters using it should be ashamed of sharing a platform with Nazis and pedophiles.

Spain’s position is easy to explain, Sanchez depends on far-left parties to keep his government. It’s that simple. Plus, it’s just words without any relevant action. Oh right, the US army can’t use bases it was not intending to use anyway… Thoughts and prayers.

I see your point, but still, that’s no excuse for X, it was never the network of the people, it’s used by politicians, reporters and news junkies. Most people never used it. Politicians and reporters are just addicted to it and too lazy to move anywhere else…

They’re still mostly on X, including left wing ones… so… there’s that.

At request of swiss authorities, nothing they could do (companies must follow the law of the country). The guy just needed to have used the free version or a anonymous way of paying and nothing would have been given.

Hahahah never used it

Canada joining the EU would create a strong identity crisis on our fragile and ever evolving European identity. Although I do like the idea of Canada having stronger relations with the EU (could go all the way up to joining Erasmus and customs union), I don’t think full EU membership would be desirable for both parties.

I know there are some precedents, like French Guiana or those tiny islands off the coast of… Canada… but those are territories belonging to a EU member and that’s the reason for. The head of state of Canada is no longer in a EU state.

I mean… China is no threatening to invade, why would it surprise anyone that the US falls behind it?

Theocrats get theocrats.

Why so many left-wingers feel the need to defend the Iranian regime is what’s hard to understand…

Are they also extremely concerned?

Hardly. The requirements alone to become a Frontex agent are miles away from the ones needed to be a ICE thug.

Despite the sensacionalist title this group is doing mostly an harmonization of policies and increase efficiency along the Schengen area, something basic for an area with no internal borders and that is essential to keep Schengen alive.

The alternative is what we’ve been seeing, national borders being resuscitated.

Supporters of these agreements highlight their value for the European Union’s strategic autonomy. They argue that the deals will help reduce risks not only in trade relations with China, but also with the United States. Less dependence – commercial and energy-related – means greater firmness vis-à-vis autocrats such as Donald Trump or Vladimir Putin. Yet this fact is often overlooked in Europe’s public debate.

Indeed!

The Portuguese PM is in tune with everyone else in the EU except Spain. The Spanish leader is the outlier. Why the hell anyone would expect the Portuguese PM (right wing) to side with the Spanish one (left wing depending on far-left support)?

The title only shows ignorance about Portuguese politics and an idiot assumption that we are a minion of Spain of some sort. 9 centuries successfully keeping Spanish interference away and we still need to read this bs titles.
