The Russian question

It’s the hidden debate, the biggest unspoken issue of the moment, but everywhere the question is being raised.

The EU must speak as clearly to Hamas and Netanyahu as it does to Putin

There is not one but two urgent needs. In order to confront Vladimir Putin’s imperial nostalgia and the United States’ refocusing on Asia, in a word, in order to take its destiny into its own hands and assert itself as an autonomous political power on the international stage, the European Union must not only arm Ukraine and rearm itself.

Foreword

Dear Readers,

welcome to this site.

It is not simply the webpage of the Member of the European Parliament, who I have become with great apprehension. Not of the journalist either, who I have been for half a century.

It is a wild ambition: I wanted to give a report on my work as an elected representative in Brussels and in Strasbourg, to continue to follow the evolution of world politics and to try to describe and decipher the stakes and the mysteries behind the scenes of the European institutions.

I wanted to create a multilingual site, to step across the borders that sometimes still separate us.

“Smithing makes the smith”, I hope you will bear with me.

Yours, 

Bernard Guetta
