3·8 days agoDo they want more migration? Because this is how you get more migration.
Not surprised.
As much as I hate those silly headlines I don’t change them. The editor will have to live with the shame.

Forgot, sorry.
I’d say yes and no. The strain on the planet would lessen for sure. But then we have the dependency ratio, meaning the amount of people in work related to those out of work, like children, the elderly, disabled etc.
This are getting worse in every European country. More babies won’t fix it, at least not in the short term but it’ll lessen the impact in about 20 years.
To fix the dependency ratio you either drasticly reduce the welfare state, increase the retirement age, raise taxes, or accept a lot of immigrants. Any of those options appealing to the general public you think?
Which is why there’s an archive link as well.
I see it as a shopping list.
Agreed, just because the US has gone dumb, doesn’t make China a good guy.
Perhaps, but I didn’t want to sensationalize it.
LeMonde has a little more about it. https://www.lemonde.fr/en/france/article/2025/05/21/french-report-warns-of-subtle-but-subversive-spread-of-muslim-brotherhood-ideology_6741471_7.html
Basically it’s about promoting an extreme version of Islam, mostly funded by countries like Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
Not sure. English isn’t my first language. I interpret it as shots in the general direction of the diplomats, not specifically aimed at. I could be wrong.
I usually don’t post stuff about Israel or the Gaza war because I don’t know enough about it to have an informed opinion, but when EU diplomats gets shot at, that’s news that’s related to Europe imho.
And no, just because I don’t have an informed opinion doesn’t mean I support either side in the conflict. I do however would like the killing of civilians to stop.
I’m sorry man.
A big thanks to the moderators of c/Europe doing their best to keep this community clean and open to all. I appreciate the work you do.
“Business as usual with Turkey cannot continue.” That was the message MEPs sent when they voted on a report about Turkey’s EU accession process on May 7 in Strasbourg. Amid a crackdown on President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s political rivals as well as on protesters, MEPs said that EU membership talks with Turkey cannot be restarted in the current circumstances. At the same time, the European Union does not want to shut the door on Turkey completely, as Ankara remains a significant partner within NATO and its interests overlap with the EU’s in Ukraine.
So how should the EU stand up for human rights while still pursuing some form of realpolitik? We debate that question with our panel of MEPs in Strasbourg.
She was just convicted. Read up on the PPE high priority lane. How many convictions there?
She did give away a lot of money to charity. About 16% of her wealth when she became a billionaire iirc. Gave to help children in poverty and to fight the disease MS.
I don’t know much about her stance on trans people other than she seems to believe that there is a difference between trans and biological women. Feel free to drop a good link where I can educate myself.
Anyway, reading comments here make it sound like she’s a modern day Hitler that’s never done anything good in her life, and that sounds both unfair and untrue.
