Nicolas Schmit served as Luxembourg’s EU Commissioner during the previous term (2019–2024). He represents the country’s social democratic party. What Nicolas Schmit is saying is, of course, highly misguided. In making these statements, he risks acting as a recruiting agent for

The ruling class does not support just one political party. If it did, it would occasionally find itself in opposition. And that is a risk the ruling class cannot afford to take. Instead, it spreads itself across all parties and all institutions that might one day come close to

“The operation was successful, but the patient died.” It used to be a morbid joke, but has become a standard description of how many public institutions actually work. Schools find it harder and harder to teach children. Railway companies find it harder and harder to transport

A strong and safe Europe is one that can respond effectively to growing security challenges. I welcome the agreements between @Europarl_EN and @EUCouncil & @CY2026EU on new measures to simplify procedures, boost investment in defence, strengthen cross-border cooperation, and

Sánchez and his government are turning Spain into a socialist Orbán-era Hungary. In other words, a country that uses its influence to block the policies that a large majority wants to pursue. Inside Sánchez’s bubble, money grows on trees. Bureaucracy is not a problem. Economic

One of the causes of political instability across Europe is rarely discussed: Class. Take my own country, Denmark. The entire left wing is prepared to fight tooth and nail to preserve the state grant given to university students. It is one of the most generous schemes in the

When France sneezes, Europe catches a cold. One should not be superstitious. Yet it is sometimes difficult not to be. Take years ending in -89, for example. In 1789, revolution breaks out in France. Years of internal turmoil are eventually brought to an end by Napoleon, who

The resumption of conflict between Iran and Israel is in no one’s interest. Both sides must show restraint and de-escalate immediately. Negotiations must continue towards the lasting settlement that we all need, for peace and stability in the region, and for the full restoration

Allein die Formulierung, die Ukraine komme “wenigstens nicht ungeschoren davon”, hat mich fassungslos gemacht. Als wäre nicht Russland der Aggressor, sondern die Ukraine diejenige, die für etwas bestraft werden müsse. Ein Land wird überfallen, besetzt, bombardiert – und

Today, 37 years ago - on 4 June 1989 - the Chinese authorities crushed the student demonstrations in Tiananmen Square in Beijing. The exact number of people killed remains disputed. But there is no doubt that the death toll was high. In Europe, we have a tendency to remember
