After the creation today of a 3rd far right group in the #EuropeanParliament, "Europe of Sovereign nations" (ESN), you'll find here a permanently updated tool to explore the composition of the 8 groups of the newly elected EP (by https://t.co/9MCC6AvbWD)

En este 20N celebramos el inicio de la transformación que nos convirtió en la democracia plena y próspera que somos hoy.

Celebramos poder opinar, pensar, votar y ser lo que uno quiere.

La democracia es nuestro poder. Defendámosla.

Spain fell to fascism because the European democracies abandoned the Spanish Republic. Guernica is the symbol of the death of the republican democracy under Nazi bombs. European democracies seem to have learned that lesson.

That's interesting, (and more solid than the simplistic MIT study about the so-called dangers of AI for the brain, cc:@Grand_Continent)

Nuestra evaluación de un programa de tutorías a través del uso de inteligencia artificial en @TheEconomist.

El programa, implementado en Nigeria, produjo mejoras significativas en los niveles de aprendizaje, equivalentes a 1.5 - 2 años de educación convencional.

L’université française repose sur le travail sous-payé de milliers de vacataires. Qu’au moins ils soient dignement traités. Pour que soient au plus vite rémunérés les vacataires des universités https://t.co/PGmAuOHJ6P

Pourquoi l’Ecole de science politique de Paris 1 s’est-elle déclarée en « chômage technique » ? Les explications de notre collègue ⁦@bfrancois_scpo⁩ https://t.co/x279aAzPZo

🚨 Just in: the Hungarian parliament has adopted a new law banning Pride events in public spaces.

Those who hold or participate in such meetings risk being fined, which could be deduced as taxes. Authorities will be allowed to use AI facial recognition to detect their identity.

Germany’s Bundestag votes resoundingly to open spending taps for defence, infrastructure & Ukraine. With 513 “yes” votes the constitutional change easily passes 2/3 majority (489) needed.

A big boost for Merz - but package must now clear the Bundesrat.

Une tribune des directeurs/trices de labo et d’école doctorale de Paris 1, pour expliquer pourquoi nous ne pouvons plus assurer nos missions de service public, et pourquoi l’UFR de science politique est toute cette semaine en chômage « technique » https://t.co/L0bpLs7ICf

100 000 to 300 000 anti-corruption protesters in Belgrade yesterday (or even more) = 1,5% to 4% of the Serbian total population (the French equivalent would be 1 to 3 million protesters in the streets…)

#Serbie 🇷🇸 BELGRADE cette nuit. La pression monte semaine après semaine sur le régime d’Aleksandar Vučić et sa corruption ! PUMPAJ, PUMPAJ, PUMPAJ !

La semaine prochaine, l’Ecole de science politique de la Sorbonne se déclare en chômage technique.

[Frédéric Sawicki @FredericSawicki]

Face à la situation budgétaire dramatique de nos Universités, qui met en péril nos missions, nos métiers, et l’avenir de nos étudiants, l’Ecole de science politique de la Sorbonne se déclare en chômage technique et appelle nos collègues et étudiant-es à faire de même.

Senior French official: “Merz is not even Chancellor yet, but he has done more to secure his place in history than Scholz has done with 4 years in power.”

The Franco-German engine is back. Will be absolutely key to everything Europe now does as it confronts the chaos it faces

Extraordinary speech by Zelenskyy in Munich:

"Some in Europe might be frustrated with Brussels. But let’s be clear: If not Brussels, then Moscow. It’s your decision. That’s geopolitics. That’s history. Moscow will pull Europe apart if we, as Europeans, don’t trust each other."

La riunione convocata da Macron sull’Ucraina a Parigi sarà in formato ristretto. Non è un vertice dell’Ue.

Non tutti i 27 leader saranno invitati e/o presenti.

Alcuni leader delle istituzioni dell’Ue sono coinvolti

Back to essentials... Europolitics is good, and interesting, but chemistry's not bad either (FYI, this is NOT a "Brussels' bubble" allegory. Or is it?)
