Silesians; they live in one of the richest regions in Poland. A good part of historical Silesia is also within the Czech Republic. And today their calls for autonomy are echoing louder and louder. Many of them are European federalists

Can Europe compete with China 🇨🇳 subsidies & US 🇺🇸 pressure? No. It needs👇⤵️ ✅ Full European Single Market; ✅ Total defence integration (e.g. Airbus); ✅ Finance & own 🇪🇺 tech; ✅ Sovereign supply chains; ✅ EU-or-close-ally-critical mining; ✅ Nuclear☢️ ✅ Eurobonds💶
Between 2005 and 2024, Chinese companies received, on average, three to eight times more industrial subsidies than companies in OECD countries. oecd.org/en/about/news/press…

Trump peut tout nous couper. Je le répète depuis des mois. Aujourd’hui, l’administration Trump nous coupe l’accès à Fable 5 et Mythos 5. Des outils envisagés comme des armes géopolitiques. Il nous faut une politique industrielle du numérique. C’est une question de survie.
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

My interview with the IMF chief from Luxembourg endorsing - once again - joint financing for European public goods re defence and energy. I was told Georgieva was equally if not more fiery behind closed doors when she briefed ministers.
"When you don’t have much money, spend it wisely" IMF chief @KGeorgieva tells #EuropeToday that there is a “very difficult balancing act for Europe” after the fund downgraded its economic growth forecast for the eurozone: "Conditions have worsened." Watch:

#ReArm Europe is taking shape. Europe’s defence capabilities are becoming increasingly tangible with systems made in Europe and increasingly resilient European supply chains. Today, I attended ILA Berlin at the invitation of the BDLI and several companies from Europe’s aerospace and defence sectors. As a member of the European Parliament’s Security and Defence Committee, I had the opportunity to see new systems, innovative technologies and the adaptation of existing platforms needed to meet future security challenges. It was a long day filled with valuable discussions. At the same time, it was far more efficient to meet many companies in one place rather than visiting each of them individually across Europe. I also made a point of taking the time to speak with companies from the space sector. Strategic autonomy does not end with traditional defence systems. Europe must continue to strengthen its independent capabilities in space – whether in satellite communications, intelligence and reconnaissance, navigation systems or access to space itself. In today’s world, security and defence are inseparable from advanced space technologies. My overall impression is positive: Europe is moving in the right direction. Yes, we are still too slow, and many systems remain too expensive. We need to reduce the number of different platforms and systems, increase standardisation, and move from manufacturing in small quantities to industrial-scale production. It was particularly encouraging to see more and more civilian companies establishing defence divisions and bringing forward innovations that are better, more affordable and faster to produce. Europe has the expertise, the innovative strength and the industrial base. Now we must accelerate and create the right framework conditions to deliver the capabilities we need. A strong and autonomous European defence capability is no longer an option – it is a strategic necessity. #ReArmEurope #EuropeanDefence #SecurityAndDefence #StrategicAutonomy #Space #Innovation #DefenceIndustry

I thank all our people who are fighting for Ukraine, working for our state, and helping defend our national interests. And I thank all our partners in the EU and every leader personally for this strong step for the sake of Europe. Ukraine is defending itself and, in doing so, all of Europe – the idea that European nations can live united, free, and in peace. As we have said, Ukraine is doing what is necessary, and it is important that the EU is also keeping its word. The opening of the first cluster is significant political and moral support for our state and our people. We also thank Europe for all its other support – support that shows true leadership and helps us protect lives. Everything has also been done to open the next clusters. We also congratulate Moldova on this step, which we are taking together.
Today, the European Union took a major step forward. All Member States agreed to open the first accession negotiations cluster with Ukraine and Moldova. At the first Intergovernmental Conference on Monday, we will open the cluster on fundamentals; the backbone of the accession process. It covers the core values and principles on which the EU is built, from the rule of law to strong democratic institutions. This is a recognition of the determination, courage and hard work shown by both countries in advancing reforms, even in the face of immense challenges. And a signal that the EU’s offer of peace, stability and opportunity is unmatchable. Enlargement is a strategic choice. By bringing our nations closer together, we strengthen peace, security and prosperity across our continent. In a world marked by growing uncertainty, a larger European Union is in our common interest. Enlargement remains one of the EU’s greatest success stories and our best investment in our shared future.

Cina, Russia e Stati Uniti d’America temono un’Unione Europea unita perché, divisi, siamo più facili da ricattare e sopraffare. Per questo il SEAE va rafforzato, non svuotato: serve una voce europea unica nel mondo! Europa Federale subito! ⚡

🇦🇲 Armenia chose peace & stability, a future away from the Russian sphere of influence. The prospect of moving closer to the EU seems to have inspired people to vote: the turn out was 10% higher than the previous election. We echo their call for a future within the EU.

Time to reevaluate and join forces for European states. A federal union is the answer.
"The EU is far bigger than the US, but because we cling to this 19th century concept of the nation state, we are weak. We urgently need a Federal Union". Sophie in 't Veld urges to accelerate European integration
