Von der Leyen's POWER GRAB – Europe's BIG democratic problem?
Ursula von der Leyen is now the undisputed leader of the European Union after ditching the last critical voice in her commission - humiliating France along the way - and shaping her college commissioners in a way that gives her full control over policy. We’ll explore the dramatic departure of French Commissioner Thierry Breton and the implications of Ursula von der Leyen’s new team of commissioners. Is the #EU moving towards a more presidential system under her leadership and does she have a democratic mandate for that evolution?

Germany TROLLS Trump over energy policy - FAILS miserably
มุมมอง 9259 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
Germany vs. Trump: A lesson in misguided arrogance? After Trump's criticism of the German government's energy policies in his debate with Kamala Harris, the German foreign ministry tried to clap back on Twitter - but failed miserably. This highlights a larger problem: European elites often cling to a moral high ground while overlooking economic realities, especially when it comes to energy and ...

Von Der Leyen battles over MALE dominated EUROPEAN Commission
มุมมอง 8014 วันที่ผ่านมา
Europe's first big political fight post-election isn't about immigration, deindustrialization, or the Ukraine war-it's about gender. Despite Von Der Leyen’s push for a balanced Commission, only 10 of 27 countries proposed female candidates. This highlights a deeper issue: the real power lies in the European Union with member states, treating the Commission as their subcontractor. #Europe #vonde...

If you ask the question "would Germans think of using renewables that would cost 10's of thousands of jobs and cripple the German economy as a success"? Is this the future Germany was promissed when switching over to renewables?

    There is a misconception about Orbán. Because they pretend to be Christians and in love with their country in reality they don't give a crap about the people of Hungary. Also, they are not the government itself, nothing but a registered private organization campaigning for the power of public office and the eligibility to allocate the government's budget for 4 consecutive years. Not so long ago their media showed suffering children and people,e in need of some very expensive medication costing 2.6 million dollars per treatment that could save the lives of those in need of such. They made a report with one mother of a child suffering from this rare genetic disease and the government turned them down and how she is forced to watch her child die slowly and painfully, meanwhile Orban uses immigrants and refugees as trophies to meet his agenda by undermining and labeling the with his racial profiling, damaging their integrity and so. Because of Orban, the country was fined 200 million euros plus 1 million euros per day. They could use this money to save those they denied support for, but to them, their agenda is more important than those lives they could save but they won't. What I do not understand is why Brussels not going for the assets registered to Fidesz and its subsidiaries, and why the taxpayers have to pay for their reckless and cruel action. And, why are the Hungarian armed forces and authorities allowing this to happen, why they don't remove Orban and the other totalitarian people from public office?

    The big mistake is that the refugee could freely change the country where he wants to be a refugee. The UN law clearly states that the refugee can use this right to the first safe country. However, the vast majority of the "refugees" are from Syria or Afghanistan, and on their way to Europe they passed through countless safe countries where they could have submitted their application. From that point on, they lost the right as formulated by the UN. From then on, their intended entry into the EU was clearly motivated by economic considerations.

    • @europeexplained
      @europeexplained 10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It should work more like that, there is an obvious reason that nationals bordering the EU such as Ukranian refugees could file for protection in Europe and that it would be more difficult for Afghan nationals. But unless i'm mistaken in the current state of intl law your right to asylum is not limited to first safe country. Many countries have tried to argue (like the UK) but it is not accepted in courts i think. And you also end up with discussions what are safe third countries and human rights discussions what makes it super hard to send even people that saw their asylum claim rejected back.
