If Vooruit and les engages are serious, this should be the first crisis of the Belgian government. BE always advocated for multilateralism and its institutions. It was seen as a national interest. De Wever just broke with that.

Since the ECJ ruled that the European Parliament's anti harassment procedure against former MEP Monica Semedo was flawed, many EP staffers fear they'll have even less leverage on abusive bosses. Especially since the EP seems reluctant to reform the said procedure. www.wort.lu/politik/seme...

Let’s be sure to call it what it is: It’s a punishment scheme for trade deficits in goods. This is not „transactional“. It’s vindictive.

Meanwhile, the ADR's position on Russia is becoming more radical. Kartheiser rejects the denomination "war of aggression" and calls it a “proxy war”. The party's recent pro-Kremlin turn has lead to Roby Mehlen, an ADR founding member, threatening to leave it. www.wort.lu/politik/adr-...

Some eye-poppingly bad views on the Le Pen judgment kicking about this morning. Call me old fashioned but if I didn’t want to be declared unfit for public office I just wouldn’t criminally abuse public money on an industrial scale.

obviously trying to find intellectual rigour in their arguments is a fool's errand but christ how can you both go for "we need to restore trust in politics" and "oh naturally we should let the woman who committed several crimes run for office"

In December, the ECR group looked quite determined to kick out their LU member Fernand Kartheiser for his pro Russian views. But the ECR seems now more flexible on Ukraine/Russia due to Meloni and the PiS's recent political mood swings and Trumps takeover in Washington www.wort.lu/politik/waru...

have written a very controversial column, in which I argue that 1) it's good that Le Pen has been barred from standing in the next election 2) it's good to celebrate that she has: www.theneweuropean.co.uk/marie-le-con...

The Le Pen case is a critical one There is no choice but to convict and punish politicians who violate the law. The risk of backlash is real. They may try to destroy the system to save themselves But the trick is to remember, they were already destroying the system. That's why they were convicted!

Narratives work through repetition So you choose which one is more relevant 1. She's a thief. An independent court found this to be true. or 2. The far right might get stronger since this will reinforce their "victims of the system" narrative. Not sure if this is good as she might win from it.

One of the most self-defeating tropes of the last 10-15 years has been the idea that the far right will always get control of the narrative, and that democrats should therefore pull their punches for fear of how it might play with the voters.

Laisser entendre que cette décision de justice serait un moyen de « se débarrasser du RN » est une faute. Faire passer les fascistes pour de possibles victimes des principes de l’Etat de Droit est incompréhensible. La Justice n’est pas contradictoire avec le combat politique. Au contraire!

Je ne veux pas péter l'ambiance, mais c'est maintenant que s'ouvre le chantier titanesque de lutte contre la désinformation (et le relativisme) pour ne pas que ça devienne un argument qui alimente le moulin du RN (soutenu par Poutine, et vraisemblablement bientôt par Trump).

Trump makes Jan Jambon, a hard-line Flemish nationalist, look like an anti racism activist. I hate this part of Trumpism almost the most. It makes anyone look virtuous, principled, and serious in comparison. Even Jan Jambon
