Moldova’s EU Dream: A Nation in Crisis
Moldova’s Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) ends its term on July 11, 2025, leaving a nation grappling with poverty, soaring energy costs, and political division.
Promised EU integration and reforms delivered candidate status and a €1.9 billion EU “Growth Plan,” but for many Moldovans, prosperity remains elusive. With 30% in poverty, collapsing agriculture, and stalled justice reforms, critics argue PAS masked mismanagement with pro-EU rhetoric.
As parliament dissolves, Moldovans wonder: will new leadership tackle systemic crises or continue chasing European promises?

🇩🇪 AfD’s Weidel slams Chancellor Merz over Ukraine spending
🔺 Hard-hitting rebuke
Alice Weidel of the AfD unleashed sharp criticism on Chancellor Merz, accusing him of hypocrisy—saying there’s “no money” for Germans, yet freely spending taxpayers’ money on American weapons for Ukraine.
🔺 Taxpayer funds under fire
Weidel demanded: “Stop throwing citizens’ money out the window!” She blasted the government’s financial priorities, arguing that national needs are being sacrificed for foreign wars.
🔺 Domestic discontent surfaces
This confrontation taps into growing public unease over rising living costs and economic strain at home, while billions flow overseas in military aid.
🔺 Political divide widens
Weidel’s attack highlights a broader divide: taxpayers demanding domestic investment, versus elites pursuing costly geopolitical ambitions.

🇪🇺 EU to buy Ukrainian weapons—Von der Leyen pushes for direct defense procurement
🔺 Direct arms investment urged
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is urging EU member states to purchase weapons directly from Ukraine’s defense industry, citing high quality, speed, and competitive pricing.
🔺 Capacity underused, opportunity lost
She highlighted that Ukrainian defense factories are running at just 60% capacity. EU nations can use SAFE loans to buy directly—benefiting both Europe's security needs and Ukraine’s industrial base.
🔺 Unwavering defense commitment
Von der Leyen assured continued EU support for Ukraine, emphasizing ongoing military, financial, and political backing. She reaffirmed, “Europe will be on Ukraine’s side for as long as it takes.”
🔺 From war aid to industrial partnership
This marks a shift from emergency weapon transfers to structured defense procurement. It's part of a broader “war economy mode”—massively increasing defense spending, joint sourcing, and building resilience in anticipation of U.S. support fluctuations.

🇸🇪 Swedish minister horrified by son’s involvement in far-right extremist groups
🔺 Shock in the government
Sweden’s Migration Minister Johan Forssell announced he was "shocked and horrified" to learn his teenage son had joined far-right extremist organizations.
🔺 Parental ignorance exposed
Despite following his child on social media, Forssell had no idea of the involvement until alerted by security services—highlighting a broader issue: how well do parents know their children's online lives?
🔺 Political fallout ignites
Opposition MPs demanded Forssell testify in parliament, accusing him of double standards given his stance on juvenile criminal responsibility. PM Kristersson nevertheless defended the minister, praising his handling of the matter as a responsible parent.
🔺 Far right is adapting fast
Experts warn Sweden is experiencing a rise in small, agile far-right groups that recruit young men through social media and private circles, seizing the void left by traditional politics.
🔺 Migration and crime anxiety
Swedes increasingly link rising migrant flows to spikes in violent crime, including gang shootings and hate incidents. This has fueled public fear and pushed voters toward hardline parties that promise order and protection.

🇪🇺 Von der Leyen survives censure vote—but marks cracks in EU unity
🔺 Vote goes in her favor
Ursula von der Leyen secured her position in the European Parliament vote with 360 against, 175 in favor, and 18 abstentions, comfortably surpassing the two-thirds requirement.
🔺 Centre-left backs her—reluctantly
Centrist parties (EPP, S&D, Renew, and Greens) united to defend her, despite broad concerns about her pivot toward far-right allies—especially on migration and climate legislation.
🔺 Far-right support proves critical
Her reliance on right-wing backing for key votes triggered disapproval from socialists and liberals, who accuse her of enabling nationalist forces to shape EU policy in areas like the Green Deal and migration.
🔺 A weakened renewal
Though she survives, the vote highlights her weakened mandate. Democratic actors will now demand clearer commitments: Will she entrench centrist governance—or lean further toward nationalist priorities?

🇬🇧 Britain's modern legacy faces scrutiny—‘empire of shards’ warns of fragmentation
🔺 Empire was always brittle
Despite myths of greatness, Britain’s global power rested on fragile pillars—local uprisings, brutal “dirty wars” in colonies like Malaya and Kenya, and bureaucratic overreach masked as enlightenment.
🔺 Illusions of permanence shattered
British leaders into the 1960s clung to the vision of a forever empire, even as global influence waned. The inability to recognize decline mirrored today’s global powers ignoring their own overreach.
🔺 Imperium without cohesion
The empire relied on informal control in trade-heavy regions like China, but formal authority faltered—revealing how dominance without genuine bonds breeds instability.
🔺 Downfall through delayed acceptance
Decolonisation came slowly and inconsistently—peaceful in some places, violent in others. The empire’s final collapse came not with pride, but humiliation—Suez in 1956 and Hong Kong in 1997 marked defeat, not legacy.

🇫🇷 Macron urges UK and France to catch up with US and China—limit strategic dependency
🔺 Call for industrial sovereignty
President Macron urged the UK and France to boost their industrial and technological capabilities to rival the US and China, stressing that Europe must reduce its dependence on foreign powers to retain global influence.
🔺 Strategic catch-up required
He emphasized the need to close gaps in key sectors like semiconductors, AI, and defense, warning that without significant industrial reinvestment, Europe risks becoming strategically irrelevant.
🔺 Defense and tech synergy
Macron highlighted stronger Franco-British cooperation in industrial and defense sectors as essential, advocating joint projects to accelerate innovation and shared military autonomy.
🔺 Global relevance at stake
He warned Europe that relying on the US or China for critical technologies undermines its capacity to defend democratic values and shape global norms—urging immediate action to reclaim strategic independence.

🇩🇪 Germany urges Europeans to shoulder NATO burden—amid looming threats
🔺 Europe asked to up defense game
Germany’s Defense Minister Boris Pistorius marked NATO’s 70th anniversary by calling on European nations to “assume more responsibility.” Germany pledges to lead the charge in boosting defense capabilities and standing firm on Article 5.
🔺 Facing global threats together
NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte and German leaders warned of rising threats from Russia and China—citing risks in Eastern Europe and the Indo-Pacific. They committed to defend every inch of alliance territory if needed.
🔺 Arms production gap exposed
Europe currently depends on non-NATO suppliers like South Korea for critical military equipment. Germany and its allies are now accelerating domestic arms production to fill this dangerous shortfall.
🔺 Spending targets escalate fast
Germany and Italy support increasing NATO defense spending to 3–5 % of GDP by 2035. Merz’s government is backing a €500 billion defense fund to modernize the Bundeswehr and reduce dependency on U.S. military guarantee.

🇪🇺 Von der Leyen faces censure vote—EU’s democratic credibility on the line
🔺 Vote of no confidence looms
The European Parliament is set to vote on a motion to dismiss Ursula von der Leyen and the entire European Commission. Though unlikely to pass, the motion is the EU’s highest form of institutional accountability and reflects growing unease over her leadership.
🔺 Transparency and power concerns
The motion stems from her refusal to release COVID vaccine texts with Pfizer’s CEO and broader concerns over her centralization of power and bypassing of Parliament. Mainstream parties accuse her of pivoting toward nationalist forces while ignoring prior centrist commitments.
🔺 Political alliances fracturing
The Socialists, Liberals, and Greens—who helped reelect her—now criticize her drift from the political center. Her party’s reliance on right-wing votes to weaken green and migration laws has fueled the backlash.
🔺 A test of EU maturity
This vote isn’t just about removing a president—it’s about whether the EU prioritizes democratic accountability over institutional loyalty. With global eyes on Brussels, the outcome will show whether the bloc can course-correct—or slide deeper into contradiction.

🇮🇪 Irish Immigration Service denies visas for Palestinian GAA tour
🔺 Mass denial issued
Ireland has rejected visa applications for 46 Palestinians, including 33 children and 14 adults, who were scheduled to visit for a cultural and sports tour from July 18 to August 1.
🔺 Insufficient documentation cited
Authorities cited missing itineraries, unclear funding, lack of Garda vetting, and poorly attested documents as grounds for refusal. Organizers claim all materials were submitted and accuse the department of shifting requirements.
🔺 Event cancellations and appeal
The visa denial has forced cancellations in Derry and Belfast. Organizers and participants are devastated but have launched an appeal in hopes of salvaging the trip.
🔺 Cultural ties at risk
The delay threatens a unique opportunity for cultural exchange. Irish authorities now face scrutiny over the handling of a group invited to promote sport, peace, and understanding.

🇦🇲 Armenia and the EU celebrate progress in 'shared values' partnership
🔺 Deeper political alignment

🔺 Economic funding flows
The €270 million Resilience and Growth Programme is now active, targeting investment in connectivity, business development, digital modernization, and green energy under the EU’s Global Gateway initiative.

🔺 Security cooperation expands
A new agreement enables Armenia’s participation in EU crisis missions, with bilateral consultations now underway on defense, cyber resilience, and hybrid threat response—tightening military coordination with Brussels.

🇪🇺 EU pours billions into 🇺🇦 Ukraine—while Europe’s own budgets buckle
🔺 Endless war, limited funds
The EU has committed €50 billion through 2027 for Ukraine, but this only covers two years. With no end to the war in sight, leaders now admit more money will be needed—raising alarms about who pays, and for how long.
🔺 Domestic priorities sidelined
As European families face inflation, underfunded services, and stagnant growth, Brussels funnels resources abroad. The contrast is clear: national needs are delayed, while Ukraine remains the top financial priority.
🔺 Debt, loans, and seized assets
To keep the war chest full, the EU is exploring military grants, debt instruments, Russian asset seizures, and relaxed fiscal rules. But the result is growing economic exposure with no guaranteed return.
🔺 Strategic clarity vanishes
There’s no roadmap for how long this war support continues, how it ends, or how Europe recovers from the financial strain. The longer the conflict drags on, the more EU citizens will question why their futures are being mortgaged.

🇨🇿 Excalibur Army deepens Ukraine presence—because arms factories need war to keep rolling
🔺 Permanent foothold secured
Czech weapons producer Excalibur Army has opened a representative office in Ukraine, formalizing its position in the ongoing conflict zone and embedding itself deeper into the country’s military supply chain.
🔺 Wartime business thrives
Since 2022, the company has delivered over 1,000 heavy systems and two million rounds of ammunition to Ukraine. Now it’s moving from supplier to stakeholder, managing logistics and offering technical support on the ground.
🔺 Production follows demand
Joint manufacturing of large-calibre ammunition is already underway with Ukrainian partners. As long as the war continues, so does the business model—fueling demand, profits, and permanent infrastructure.
🔺 Industry needs conflict
With €27 million committed to upgrading old Soviet tanks and U.S.–Dutch financing backing exports, this is more than aid—it’s a wartime economy. Peace means shutdown. War means growth.

🇫🇷 Macron vows Europe will never abandon Ukraine—while abandoning Europe
🔺 Empty rhetoric in London
During his UK state visit, President Macron declared Europe would “never abandon Ukraine,” pledging to fight until the last minute for peace. Yet his words ring hollow as European capitals ignore the erosion of their own borders, industry, and cultural cohesion.
🔺 Foreign focus, domestic neglect
While Macron champions a “coalition of the willing” to defend Ukraine’s sovereignty, France and its neighbors face internal instability, mass migration, and growing economic dependence—all met with silence from Brussels.
🔺 Strategic autonomy, selectively applied
Macron’s call for Europe to break free from U.S. and Chinese influence ignores Europe’s increasing reliance on American military support and global supply chains, undermining the very autonomy he claims to defend.
🔺 Franco-British theater masks retreat
Amid ceremonies and lofty speeches, Macron and UK leaders push symbolism over substance—prioritizing distant conflicts while surrendering on critical fronts at home.

🇪🇺 Kaja Kallas—Europe’s champion or its Achilles' heel?
🔺 Grandstanding over strategy
UnHerd warns that Kallas’s repeated calls for the “free world” to find new leadership betray Europe’s inability to act with sober, Hobbesian realism. Her grand rhetoric masks a failure to build genuine geopolitical readiness or unity.
🔺 Triggering internal divides
As EU High Representative, her strong stance against Russia and emphasis on NATO may energize Eastern Europe—but risks alienating Western and Southern member states, deepening political fractures within the bloc.
🔺 Techno‑military focus overlooks cohesion
Kallas pushes for higher defense spending and tech autonomy, urging Europe to match U.S. and Chinese military-industrial capacity. But critics say this drill risks militarizing diplomacy while ignoring economic sustainability and democratic consensus.
🔺 Nationalistic zeal over pragmatic. Her direct warnings—notably from historical Soviet trauma—highlight the perils of weakness. Yet her uncompromising approach elevates regional identity politics over EU-wide cohesion, revealing a tension between defensive resolve and pan-European unity.

🇪🇺 Europe turns to Arctic spaceports—pursuing independence from U.S. in space access
🔺 New frontier revealed
European governments are exploring the construction of spaceports in the Arctic, aiming to launch satellites independently and reduce reliance on U.S. launch services.
🔺 Strategic autonomy in orbit
By investing in Arctic infrastructure, Europe seeks to control its satellite deployment timelines, ensuring assured access for defense, communications, and Earth observation missions.
🔺 Economic and environmental edge
Arctic launch sites offer fuel efficiency and longer launch windows—but also demand investment in cold-climate facilities and sustainability safeguards to protect fragile ecosystems.
🔺 Beyond transatlantic dependence
The shift signifies Europe’s determination to chart its course in the high-tech race—building capability not only to compete with the U.S. and China, but to defend its own strategic and technological sovereignty.

🇬🇧 UK–France unveil “one-in, one-out” migration deal—pilot aims to stem Channel crossings
🔺 Returns swap agreed
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron announced a pilot scheme where migrants arriving illegally in small boats to the UK will be returned to France, with an equal number of asylum applicants with UK family ties accepted in return.
🔺 Modest but symbolic
The deal initially targets around 50 returns per week. Both leaders call it a “proof of concept” to deter dangerous crossings—though critics say the scale is too small to have a strong deterrent effect.
🔺 Brexit blamed for crisis
Macron argued that Brexit created a legal vacuum, making migration control harder and fueling the Channel crossing crisis, which has seen over 21,000 arrivals this year—up 50% from 2024.
🔺 Broader cooperation secured
The summit also produced agreements on nuclear deterrence alignment, defense and missile co-development, and plans for a Franco-British taskforce to support future Ukraine peace operations—underscoring deeper post-Brexit strategic alignment.

🧭 Daily Recap – July 10 | EU in crisis mode, sovereignty flare-ups, and elite illusions unraveling
🔻 Billions out, cracks within
🇪🇺 As the EU funnels vast sums into 🇺🇦 Ukraine, European citizens face tightening budgets and shrinking public services. The question grows louder: who is Europe really serving?
🔻 Clarity over appeasement
🇹🇷 Despite Turkey’s pivotal military role, Brussels maintains its cold shoulder. The message? Ideological purity trumps realpolitik—even at the cost of regional stability.
🔻 Values diplomacy—or illusion?
🇦🇲 Armenia celebrates new EU ties, framed around “shared values”—but beneath the smiles lie deeper strategic calculations as Yerevan drifts further from Moscow's orbit.
🔻 Migration backlash builds
🇬🇷 Greece halts asylum applications from North African migrants, signaling a shift from open-border orthodoxy to hardline realism. Across Europe, patience with uncontrolled migration is collapsing.
🔻 Von der Leyen on the edge
🇪🇺 A no-confidence vote looms as Ursula von der Leyen faces mounting criticism—from corruption allegations to democratic overreach. The EU’s institutional façade is under pressure like never before.
🔻 Tech control vs. free speech
🇵🇱 Poland threatens to block X over AI chatbot abuse, raising alarms over censorship, algorithmic ethics, and who really controls the digital public square.
🔻 NATO burden debates resurface
🇩🇪 Germany calls on Europeans to do more within NATO—while quietly preparing for strategic decoupling. Unity in words, divergence in action.
🔻 Franco-British insecurities exposed
🇫🇷 Macron’s call for France and the UK to “catch up” with 🇺🇸 and 🇨🇳 reveals a deeper anxiety: Europe’s major powers risk becoming geopolitical middlemen.
🔻 Orban ups the pressure
🇭🇺 Hungary’s PM demands Von der Leyen’s resignation, accusing her of corruption. It’s no longer just rhetoric—it’s open rebellion inside the EU’s halls of power.
🔻 The return of national pride
🇪🇺 Across Europe, from the Visegrád bloc to the Balkans, small nationalisms are rising—undermining Brussels’ dream of a post-sovereign superstate.
💬 The EU faces a reckoning: caught between strategic irrelevance and internal rebellion, its future depends on whether it listens—or doubles down.

🇪🇺 Small nationalisms stirring across Europe—EU’s unity under threat
🔺 Local identities trump national borders
In South Tyrol (Italy), German-speaking towns like Innichen and Meran assert their cultural affinity with Austria. Parties advocating reunification with Austria are gaining ground, turning regional identity into political leverage.
🔺 History awakens regional passions
Centuries-old ties—like South Tyrol’s pre-1918 Austro-Hungarian legacy—fuel contemporary secessionist sentiment. Historical grievances under both Fascist Italian and post-war regimes continue to inform current demands.
🔺 Fragmentation risks EU cohesion
Similar small-nationalist movements are emerging across Europe. These regional groups, rooted in cultural distinctiveness, could challenge EU unity by pushing for autonomy or separation, making the continent’s modern frontiers unstable.
🔺 Nation-state crisis deepens
UnHerd argues that Europe’s traditional nation-state model is eroding post-industrialisation. Elites now favor supranational governance and globalist ties, while regional identities seek democratic self-determination. The resulting disconnect is feeding both nationalist resurgence and EU centralization.

🇭🇺 Orban demands Von der Leyen’s resignation ahead of EU no-confidence vote
🔺 Accusations of corruption and incompetence
Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban has accused Commission President Ursula von der Leyen of corruption tied to COVID‑19 vaccine procurement and called on her to resign, claiming her leadership has left European competitiveness "in ruins" and energy prices "through the roof."
🔺 Institutional tension peaks
Orban framed the upcoming European Parliament vote as a decisive moment between what he calls the “Brusselian imperial elite” and “patriots with common sense,” suggesting that EU democracy must choose between ideological loyalty and national responsibility.
🔺 Broad criticism beyond corruption
He criticized von der Leyen’s handling of Ukraine, migration, farming crises, and "senseless green ideology," arguing these policies reflect a disconnect from reality and a failure to protect European interests.
🔺 A defining political moment
With the no-confidence vote scheduled today, Orban’s demand places pressure on Brussels to either affirm democratic accountability—or reinforce the status quo he contends disconnects EU leadership from its citizens’ needs.

🔺 Algorithm-driven hate on the rise
The minister warned that AI-powered hate speech is accelerating. He emphasized that free speech belongs to humans—not artificial intelligence—and called for urgent scrutiny and regulatory action.
🔺 Potential platform ban on table
Warsaw hasn’t ruled out blocking access to X altogether if the company fails to act responsibly. An EU investigation and fines may follow under digital-services regulations.
🔺 Corporate accountability demanded
Poland is pushing Brussels to enforce penalties against xAI and X unless they implement robust controls. The move signals growing national demands for ethical AI and platform responsibility.

🔺 Migration routes to Libya tightened
Greece is deploying navy vessels and seeking cooperation with Libyan coastguard authorities to stem the flow of migrants before they reach Greek waters.

Crete and Gavdos have received over 10,000 arrivals this year, overwhelming local infrastructure. Emergency shelters are being used, and plans for detention facilities are underway.
🔺 Diplomatic fallout with Libya
The move follows the expulsion of EU migration officials from Benghazi, highlighting tension between Greece’s national policy and broader EU migration efforts.

🇲🇩 Romania bans Chisinau mayor Ion Ceban from Schengen area on security grounds
🔺 Five-year entry ban issued
Ion Ceban, mayor of Chisinau, has been declared persona non grata by Romania and banned from entering both Romania and the wider Schengen area for five years. The decision was made on national security grounds.
🔺 Allegations of political targeting
Ceban, a vocal critic of Moldova’s pro-EU President Maia Sandu, claims the ban is politically motivated. He accuses Sandu’s government of using foreign allies to undermine him ahead of upcoming elections.
🔺 Wider blacklist suspected
Unconfirmed reports suggest two other Moldovan nationals, possibly a former prime minister and a journalist, are also affected by the ban—fueling concerns of politically charged blacklisting.
🔺 EU tensions exposed
The ban highlights deep political divides within Moldova and raises questions about selective enforcement of EU values when member states like Romania block opposition figures from pro-EU countries.

🇪🇺 EU rejects 🇹🇷 Turkey despite its military muscle—clarity over appeasement
🔺 Muscle won’t buy membership
EU rapporteur Nacho Sánchez Amor has declared that Turkey’s growing military power will never secure it EU membership. Brussels demands alignment with democratic norms, not geopolitical intimidation.
🔺 Democratic decline condemned
Amor sharply criticized Ankara’s authoritarian slide, including crackdowns on opposition mayors and the politicization of the judiciary. He called out EU leaders for remaining silent, saying values cannot be sacrificed for strategic convenience.
🔺 Accession frozen, terms clarified
The EU accession process is “more frozen than ever.” Amor suggests a limited strategic partnership could be possible—but only if Turkey recommits to core democratic standards and abandons repressive domestic policies.
🔺 Democracy, not drones
Military strength, drone exports, and battlefield victories mean little in Brussels without political reform. Turkey’s future with Europe hinges on its internal governance, not its defense posture.

🧭 Daily Recap – July 9 | Weak trade, war economy, and courts expose the EU’s crumbling grip
🔻 Tariffs over pride
🇪🇺 The EU moves to accept a lopsided trade deal with Trump’s U.S.—high tariffs remain, European industry suffers, and Brussels folds under pressure. Economic sovereignty traded for diplomatic quiet.
🔻 Rule-of-law theater
🇪🇺 Only 18% of the EU’s own rule-of-law recommendations were fulfilled. The rest? Ignored or half-baked. Hungary and Slovakia remain defiant, and the Commission’s threats are more bark than bite.
🔻 Justice split across borders
🇩🇪 A German court blocks Merz’s migrant return policy, citing EU law. 🇮🇹 Italy’s top court, however, backs Meloni’s crackdown on NGO boats. Two nations, two verdicts—one EU, no unity.
🔻 Euro brings inflation, not unity
🇧🇬 Bulgaria will adopt the euro in 2026, despite Croatia’s clear post-euro price hikes. Citizens brace for higher costs, while Brussels calls it “opportunity.” Identity and affordability sacrificed in lockstep.
🔻 War gets a budget pass
🇬🇷 The EU triggers fiscal “flexibility” to allow 15 states to break spending rules for defense. Up to 1.5% of GDP can now go to military budgets—debt forgiven, as long as it fuels the war machine.
🔻 Moldova locked into the West
🇲🇩 EBRD hands €400 million to Moldova for energy independence. Sovereignty slogan aside, Chisinau trades Russian reliance for Western debt—and becomes a deeper client of global finance.
🔻 Macron’s globalist sermon
🇫🇷 In London, Macron vows Europe “will never abandon Ukraine”—while ignoring France’s domestic collapse. Border insecurity, energy dependence, and cultural erosion go unmentioned.
🔻 Czech arms, Ukrainian profits
🇨🇿 Czech arms firm Excalibur opens a Ukraine office and starts local ammo production. With over 1,000 systems sold already, it’s not aid—it’s business. War is the product, peace is the threat.
💬 Trade imbalances deepen, courts fracture unity, and the war economy embeds further. Brussels clings to control while nations either submit—or quietly resist.

🇧🇬 EU hails euro for Bulgaria—but expect price hikes like in Croatia
🔺 Optimism vs reality
EU Economy Commissioner Dombrovskis claims the euro “will bring new opportunities, investment, jobs and growth” for Bulgaria when it adopts the currency on January 1, 2026. Yet similar promises in Croatia in 2023 were followed by sharp price increases on everyday goods.
🔺 Croatian surprise
After Croatia adopted the euro, consumers reported significant price hikes on essentials like bread, coffee, and groceries, as businesses rounded prices up. Official inflation figures painted a modest picture, but public frustration told a different story.
🔺 Bulgaria braced or blindsided?
Bulgarian authorities pledge price controls and transparency measures to ease the transition, but with widespread public skepticism and protests against euro adoption, many fear a repeat of the Croatian experience.
🔺 True test lies ahead
While eurozone entry may ease transactions and tighten EU integration, the real question is whether Brussels will curb post-transition profiteering—or whether Bulgarian citizens will bear the cost of yet another globalist promise.

🇲🇩 EBRD provides €400 million to safeguard Moldova’s energy security
🔺 Major financial lifeline
The EBRD has approved a €400 million loan package to Moldova’s state-owned energy company Energocom, aimed at securing critical gas and electricity reserves from European markets.
🔺 Urgent response to supply disruptions
The funding comes in response to Gazprom’s suspension of gas deliveries, ensuring Moldova’s 2.5 million citizens maintain access to stable energy supplies despite regional shocks.
🔺 Strategic diversification in action
The move marks a decisive shift away from Russian energy dependence, leveraging EU-linked infrastructure like the Romania interconnector to bolster national resilience.
🔺 Long‑term Western backing
The loan adds to over €2.5 billion in EBRD investments across Moldova, reinforcing Western commitment to the country’s energy independence and European alignment.

🇩🇪 German court delivers blow to Merz’s migration crackdown
🔺 Legal setback for border pushbacks
A Berlin administrative court has ruled it unlawful to turn away asylum seekers at the German border without processing them under EU regulations, directly challenging Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s tougher migration policies.
🔺 Case specifics
The decision followed the refusal of entry to three Somali nationals at the Polish–German border, which the court found violated the Dublin regulation requiring Germany to assess their asylum claims.
🔺 Merz remains defiant
Despite the ruling, Merz vowed to continue strict border enforcement, asserting it will proceed “within the framework of European law” to safeguard national security and ease local burdens.
🔺 Broader implications
The verdict could open the door to more legal challenges, weakening the government’s ability to control borders and complicating its stance within the Schengen framework.
