Preserving the purchasing power of Europeans must be a priority

Terrorism has no borders, police cooperation should have no borders

To fight effectively against them, it is fundamental to strengthen the links, cooperation and exchange of information between police forces and Member States’ competent authorities! Europol is playing a crucial role in this regard and must be encouraged. The series of spectacular police raids which took place in several European countries recently shows how much […]

A “digital green certificate” to simplify travel for Europeans

In this never-ending pandemic, the numbers are falling, coldly, day after day. While France has just passed the 100,000 marks in deaths from Covid-19 and that for Europe, this figure now reaches 650,000 deaths, I have a special thought for the bereaved families, for all those who have lost a loved one to the Coronavirus

Daphne Caruana Galizia’s murder: in Malta, the fight for the truth must continue

Daphne Caruana Galizia was coldly eliminated because she believed in her mission of investigation, and because she proudly wore the colours of her profession. Her targets were corruption, crooked politicians and organised crime. Her only weapon was her pen. She was relentless in her pursuit of mafia networks. She probably disturbed too many powerful people,

Message to AstraZeneca: if you pick a fight with the European Union, you’ll get one!

The provocation could not go unanswered: on the one hand, AstraZeneca is massively reducing, overnight, the volumes of vaccines it intends to deliver to Europeans. On the other hand, the pharmaceutical group is seeking to export 250,000 doses of its vaccine from Italy to Australia – a country that has no more than 10 new

Together Europe can beat pandemics, Alzheimer’s and cancer

It has become clear that even the best national health systems cannot protect against a pandemic on their own. And some egoism at the beginning of the pandemic has shown how quickly Europe can disintegrate again. Who would have thought a year ago that our economic well-being would essentially depend on pharmaceutical progress? While the

Capitol attack: time for social networks to be held accountable

Hordes of demonstrators invading the Capitol, incited to do so by an outgoing President ready to fight until the end; elected representatives of the people forced to interrupt a session to take cover; police officers having to use their weapons to drive back the insurgents. Seeing the foundations of the world’s largest democracy under attack

Decisive years for European Christian democracy

Instead, we should take Konrad Adenauer, Robert Schuman, Alcide De Gasperi, Franz Josef Strauß and Helmut Kohl as our role models. With their understanding of politics, they did not exacerbate divisions, but overcame cleavages, splits and prejudices; on the one hand toward Germany’s neighbours, by creating the common house of Europe; on the other hand

Interview with Manfred Weber

“The respect of the rule of law must be a condition to get European funds”

As terrible as they are, crises also have a salutary side in that they provide an opportunity to take stock of an organisation’s health. As far as the European Union is concerned, the diagnosis is irrevocable; the lack of solidarity between Member States has had serious consequences on its image and functioning. To combat the
