The agreement that must not be accepted

As for me, it will be a “no”. In the days, weeks and months to come, I, as a Member of the European Parliament, will work to ensure that the European representation disapproves of the investment agreement that the Commission has just reached with China.

Merry Christmas!

It is at such a low noise that maybe you did not notice it. It is at low noise, but for the first time since the fury around the Maastricht agreement had inhibited the Europhiles and emboldened the Europhobes so much – that is, for the first time in three decades we no longer speak of “Europe” to say it is impotent and busy grading cucumbers, but to say that it is stretching, breathing and asserting itself.

The first stirrings of a European power

The Union is making the first move. Last week, the President of the European Council and later the Commission published, one after the other, proposals for a common programme of the Atlantic Alliance, which the 27 Heads of State and Government will debate on Thursday and Friday in Brussels.

Europe in three battles

The proof by Addis

It will be the exodus or the massacre. It will be chaos and death in any case, because the Ethiopian leaders left the people of Mekele, capital of the rebel province of Tigray, no other choice on Sunday.

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
