Cohesion once let regions set their future; the new budget folds #Cohesion into a packed mega-envelope.
Empowerment & democracy are swapped for compliance.
When one in three voters flirts with Euroscepticism, this is political arson

"We are failing Gaza’s children. Seen through their eyes, our failure is a betrayal of their right to be children. Children who are healthy, safe, and educated.
History will judge this failure harshly.
Children in #Gaza, like children all over the world, deserve peace," @UNICEFChief Catherine Russell told the UN Security Council.

To my fellow Europeans, 450ml EU citizens :
The EU, which had already disgraced itself by entering the Association agreement with Apartheid Israel years ago, is now refusing to suspend it.
This is the final piece of evidence that the EU is consciously supporting Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians. This risks to be the end of EU values.
EU member states: I hope you will activate the CJEU. But meanwhile, please remember that regional agreements do not obliterate your obligations under intl law. Cut ties with Israel, starting with trade including of weapons. Do the right thing. Our European history commands it.

Wherever you look at - be it EU-US trade or EU-Israel -, the EU deliberately fails to project its power to make itself relevant and respected.
This isn't a bug, but a self-imposed outcome
A question for the national account nerds:
If Government Expenditure is a share of GDP, then how can it reach more than 100%?

New article with @IreMonasterolo introducing concept of ‘climate transition spillover risk’ in new issue of Energy Economics. @IMFNews only institution set up to monitor these spillovers but thus far falling short
⭐ VoxTalks Economics NEW EPISODE ⭐
How would a European climate bond, issued by the ESM, help EU states meet the challenges of climate change? & would the EU’s first common fiscal capacity even be politically feasible? @IreMonasterolo@USE_UU talks to @timsvengali@cepr_org.
Europe's #climate investment gap could be filled through the joint issuance of European climate bonds argues @IreMonasterolo@UniUtrecht, Antonia Pacelli @TSEinfo, @M_Pagano_Econ & Carmine Russo @UninaIT - increasing #EU resilience and greening portfolios.

Authors estimated 64 260 deaths (95% CI 55 298–78 525) due to traumatic injury in the last y., suggesting the Palestinian MoH underreported mortality by 41%. Annualised crude death rate was 39·3 per 1000 people. Call it as you want but look at the numbers

The news that the world crossed 1.5C of warming in 2024 is not surprising – but it is still a shock. We are increasingly witnessing the devastating effects of climate change – everywhere, all the time. (1/5)
The U.N. is "deeply concerned" about babies freezing to death in Gaza as a result of Israel's policy of mass displacement and deprivation. https://t.co/WaABweeLvB
