This plenary session will be very interesting

[Zoe K @BBCEurosim]

Alarming reports are coming out of a certain meeting room.

Abuse of power, unprofessional language, and more from the CHAIR

Is a coup on the horizon…

The European council kicks off today with opening statements on a Greener Europe.

But has the reforms on security and defence been adequately discussed?

[Zoe K @BBCEurosim]

President of the European Commission has admitted fault and says the wrong article was used.

Promises research will be done on the remaining articles to limit confusion.

[Zoe K @BBCEurosim]

A break has been called. The president of the European Commission has said he will take this time to “research”.

Serious reforms are needed. Both the European environmental Council and European Council are failing to fulfil their roles.

Is it time for a leadership change?

[Zoe K @BBCEurosim]

Similar reports have been heard.

Perhaps the lack of action and inability to lead is the cause…

We can confirm that a consensus has NOT been reached.

There are ongoing talks about what the “pillars” should be, a stark contrast to what the president said (that a resolution had been reached)

No decisions have been made.

[Zoe K @BBCEurosim]

Further questions will have to be asked of the President of the European Council at the 3rd plenary session.

More particular, the leadership skills.

We look forward to clarifying together with Politica and invite you to ask too!

[Zoe K @BBCEurosim]

President of European Council has confirmed that a decision HAS been made.

We inch closer towards peace as a €5 billion euro extension has been agreed upon by ALL states for defence, infrastructure, and more.

Europe is updating its defences!

[Zoe K @BBCEurosim]

“There is STILL a war going on”

France President Macron has to remind delegates the importance of reaching a consensus as discussions continue to deviate.

[Zoe K @BBCEurosim]

Our comments:

Finland have valid concerns.

Have we not seen the failure and effects of appeasement before? Particularly in mid-Europe during the 1930s/40s…

[Zoe K @BBCEurosim]

Interview with Finnish Representative:

Sharing the largest border with Russia, they feel the most at risk.

Giving Ukraine over to Russia would set the precedent that invasion is acceptable.

All nations must do all they can to show this is not acceptable

[Zoe K @BBCEurosim]

Communications are deteriorating.
Diplomats are going head-to-head to try and steer the discussion to their preferred topic.

Talks and actions of peace CANNOT go ahead if there are still debates on the definition of peace.

[Zoe K @BBCEurosim]

Really disturbing scenes here.

Talks of nuclear weapons have not been cleared, and a border-transcending army has gained traction.

Is this the death of sovereignty, via force?

[Zoe K @BBCEurosim]

A wide variety of solutions are being discussed regarding European Security.

Talks of nuclear weapons, a European Army, increase in spending, and more.

A solution/compromise seems distant with the vast propositions…

[Zoe K @BBCEurosim]

@BlindCucumba We will report as things develop.

Would you care for an interview to gauge public opinion?

[Zoe K @BBCEurosim]

Excited to hear negotiations taking place today!

Hopefully comprehensive and thought out reforms can be made to tackle plastic pellet pollution.

[Zoe K @BBCEurosim]

Opening statements done.

Early points of tension are showing between France/New Europe, advocating for personalised targets, and lobbyists, advocating for stricter, global-wide blanket regulations.
