Major shake-up: The European Commission prepares to merge multiple directorates into large departments, moving closer to functioning as a 'true EU government'. The foundation for a potential federal executive led by her successors

@Atticus_of_Oz 👍 exactly

@eeldenden It needs to transition to a bicameral legislature - the current European Parliament as the lower house, and the Council of Europe as the upper. If a measure obtains a majority in both, it becomes EU law. As for the executive, there needs to be an EU Prime Minister and cabinet

The veto dates back to when the EU was only 6 states. Today it is outdated and undemocratic. Foreign powers can bribe one EU state to paralyze the entire Union. The system is absurd and on its way out. Qualified majority voting is not perfect, but a step in the right direction

🇬🇱 Greenlanders rally against new US consulate in Nuuk Greenlanders march against US President Donald Trump's desire to control the vast Arctic island, after the inauguration of the US consulate's new premises in the capital, Nuuk. "We have always lived in Greenland. It has always been our land. So there is no one who can buy us," says participant Solveig Kramer. "We are not for sale."

🇪🇺 Kaja Kallas: Washington doesn't like the EU because it could become an equal power

The Baltic States are not just a border region of Europe. They are the frontline of European democracy, freedom, and security. Europe must become a Federation capable of defending itself, protecting its citizens, and acting with one voice on the global stage.

@AkLurker there's broad support to abolish unanimity. You're right! Those who don't want it can leave the Union. But they probably won't leave and will simply bend the knee. Which is the logical thing to do. They have changed their tune already even without pressure

@eeldenden Perfectly said. And any country that is as opposed as Orban regime was can always leave the union at any time. But he knew his constituents would have run him off with pitchforks if he tried.

Le moment est venu de faire un saut de souveraineté et d'indépendance de l'Europe. Mon entretien sur @FranceTV.

@thorstenbenner the AfD is not a monolith. There are different wings within the party. Some of their politicians even fought for Ukraine! I think they will fracture at some point and someone like Schramm could probably take half the party with him

72% of Germans say the AfD is a danger for democracy. That is almost all current non-AfD voters (AfD polls at exactly 26%). (ZDF Politbarometer)

Americans will never go to war with Russia. US troops are only in Europe to preserve their sphere of influence. Replace them with Ukrainians

@MoonLightFairy and you represent classical communism?

@eeldenden The IMF is classic capitalism. Ignore.

The EU needs to have “more ambition” and be a “global power,” @MichelBarnier said in an interview with @NicholasVinocur. “We are not yet there, far from there.” 📹 Watch the full interview: politico.eu/article/globse… #GLOBSEC2026 #POLITICOTheSpeakeasy

Rutte: 600 million Europeans defending against 140 million Russians cannot rely on 350 million Americans forever. Rebalance is right. And US defense of its mainland starts in Norway — that's where Russian submarines must be stopped. 1/
