Be logical, Mr Orbán

11-12-2023

Viktor Orbán himself understands this. “Europe,” he has just said in an interview with Le Point, “must be able to defend itself with its own forces”. He says this after having endlessly railed against the “centralism” of the European Union, after having called for the two currents of the far right to come together so that they have more weight in Parliament, after having, in a word, expressed all his hostility to the Union, but “in the field of security,” he notes, “we should be more centralised”.

Four European forces for four European objectives

04-12-2023

It is quite simple: a fire is burning. There is the fire of global warming. There is the fire in Ukraine. There is the fire in Gaza. And in a year’s time, there could well the fire of Trump’s return to the White House. At any moment, the fire threatens to spread and what do we do?

Since – it is being explained – the Ukrainian counter-offensive has failed to push back the Russian troops, and this war has thus become a war of positions, the advantage goes to Vladimir Putin because he has more men than Ukraine.

Three Europes in one: Tomorrow’s Union will not be the same as today’s

13-11-2023

We have barely heard it. From Ukraine to the Middle East, the international situation has deteriorated to such an extent that we hardly noticed that last week the 27 Member States began the process of unifying the whole of Europe, the continent of Europe.
