With the Austrian and Estonian delegations departing, the right-wing Identity and Democracy is no longer big enough to be a European Parliamentary group in itself.

Europeans do not share the Ukrainians’ firm belief in their victory and would like to see Kyiv negotiate a ceasefire settlement with Moscow—in line with the Hungarian EU presidency’s goals.

The Commission chief has no choice but to give in to socialists’ blackmail and forge an even more leftist coalition in Brussels—the opposite of what Europe voted for.

“Another four or five days and many people will be surprised,” the Hungarian PM said, promising to make his new right-wing alliance the largest conservative force in Brussels “very soon.”

The European Commission chief will need the backing of one or both groups to be guaranteed reelection, but in public, Meloni’s ECR is being sidelined again.

The organization’s outgoing executive, Klaus Schwab, was allegedly one of the main drivers of its “toxic workplace” culture.

Nearly all member states failed to submit their long-term climate policy plans, despite their “legal obligations,” the Commission warns.

Promising same-sex unions during the campaign allowed PM Tusk to scoop up a larger share of the leftist vote, but delivering on that promise would alienate many of his primary, center-right voters.

Inside sources indicate this may have been the plan all along: to create the third largest bloc in the European Parliament.

Brussels’ center-left coalition is built on “lies and deceit,” Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán said while his party set out to create its own parliamentary group of like-minded Central European parties.

“Extraordinary measures need to be employed” on the EU’s eastern borders, the four countries argue, asking for at least €2.5 billion for a 700-km defense line.

The pact—committing the EU to supply financial support, arms deliveries, and military training to Kyiv indefinitely—is to be reviewed every ten years.
