Aujourd’hui entre en vigueur le Pacte européen sur l’asile et la migration.
Ce Pacte, c’est LA réponse européenne à un défi qui dépasse les frontières nationales. Nous l’avons initié et défendu, notamment lors de la Présidence française du Conseil de l’Union européenne, en responsabilité.
Parce que n’en déplaise aux nationalistes et aux démagogues : la bonne réponse sur l’immigration, c’est la réponse européenne.
Celle qui permet de mieux contrôler nos frontières extérieures, de lutter plus efficacement contre l’immigration illégale, d’améliorer les retours des personnes qui n’ont pas vocation à rester sur le territoire européen et de partager équitablement les responsabilités entre États membres.
Concrètement, le Pacte :
• renforce les contrôles aux frontières extérieures de l’Union européenne,
• accélère les procédures d’asile,
• améliore l’identification des personnes arrivant sur le territoire européen
• et s’appuie sur les capacités de Frontex pour mieux contrôler les flux migratoires et rendre les retours plus efficaces.
Lorsqu’il s’est agi de voter ces mesures permettant de mieux contrôler les flux migratoires, ni le RN, ni LR, ni le PS n’ont été au rendez-vous.
Tous ont refusé de soutenir ce Pacte européen sur l’asile et la migration, pourtant indispensable pour reprendre le contrôle de notre politique migratoire.
Tous ont fait le choix des postures et des calculs électoraux.
Avec @RenewEurope nous assumons le fait que l’immigration est un sujet politique majeur. Et qu’à ce titre, il doit être traité avec sérieux, méthode et efficacité. Avec pragmatisme et non dogmatisme.
Face à un défi européen, il fallait une réponse européenne. Aujourd’hui, cette réponse existe. À nous désormais de l’appliquer pleinement.
🚨 Big news: The 27 EU countries have unanimously agreed to open the first cluster of accession negotiations, known as "Fundamentals", with Ukraine and Moldova.
There's no veto that can stop this. The ceremony will take place on Monday.

Apple’s Siri AI delay has turned the DMA from a Brussels bubble debate into a consumer issue. The DMA is meant to ensure a fair market, but what are the measurable benefits for consumers and founders?

✨😤Une pétition est lancée pour avoir au plus vite Siri AI en Europe
Alors qu’Apple a confirmé l’arrivée de Siri AI plus tard cette année, nous, les utilisateurs européens d’iPhone, ne sommes pas concernés.
Face à cette situation, un développeur iOS basé en Italie a créé une pétition afin de montrer à Apple et aux régulateurs européens que de nombreux utilisateurs souhaitent accéder aux nouvelles fonctionnalités de Siri AI.
L’objectif est de rassembler un max de signatures pour tenter d’accélérer l’arrivée de Siri AI en Europe.
Allez voter un max sur https://t.co/dXG335TJPd.
À nous aussi de faire bouger les choses !

EXCLUSIVE: Apple and the EU are telling very different stories on Siri AI, and right now, it's a standoff.
Apple's press release and comments to @LelloucheNico say the DMA would force it to give rival assistants deep access to messages, files, photos, app actions, and personal context, creating privacy/security risks.
I reached out to the EU Commission for comment, and they discussed it today (video below).
They said nothing in the DMA blocks Siri AI. Apple can launch it if it complies, but it must give rivals "equivalent access" and can’t use iOS to favour its own AI.
Apple proposed a “Trusted System Agent” and an 18-month rollout to ensure only approved third-party agents could run. The Commission says they weren't "DMA-compliant interoperability proposals."
Whatever that means.
This is a standoff over who controls the AI layer on iPhone. The EU isn’t protecting user choice here. It’s trying to regulate the iPhone’s AI layer, and EU users are the ones losing out.
iPhone users can already download ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Perplexity. Apps like @poppysimplified can use your Mac to get system-level access for AI assistant apps.
The EU is demanding default, system-level access for any third-party app that claims to be an AI assistant. Which is dangerous, especially given Apple's privacy-focused AI stance. Apple, respectably, is not bowing down.

An effective migration and asylum policy must be matched by a credible return policy.
This evening's deal on the new Returns Regulation - that complements the Pact on Migration and Asylum - will make the return of migrants with no right to stay in the EU faster and more consistent across Europe.
Thanks to @EP_Justice Rapporteur @zarzalejosj, Rapporteur @MalikAzmani, and all the @Europarl_EN team for reaching this agreement with @EUCouncil and @CY2026EU.
Today’s agreement on new return rules marks an important step in the reform of the European migration management system. With the new rules, we have more control over who can come to the EU, who can stay, and who needs to leave.
