You are being told that Europe has finally built its own missile. A missile that can strike targets over 2,000 kilometers away. A missile that represents, according to its makers, a quantum leap in European defense capability. And yet, ask yourself this: when was the last time a European weapon system actually deterred anyone? #EuropeanDefence, #StrategicAutonomy, #ReArmEurope, #NATO, #Readiness2030, #DefenseSpending
The rule of law is of paramount importance and is the foundation of economic growth, social investment, and civil liberties. Economic Growth: Governments must foster competitive markets and innovation, but not by creating a race to the bottom on legal protections. Strong, independent institutions are the best guarantor of long-term business confidence and sustainable growth. Social Investment: Universal access to quality healthcare, education, and social security is a baseline obligation. Eroding the rule of law to centralize power inevitably starves these systems of accountability and resources, betraying the public trust. Civil Liberties: Freedom of speech, press, assembly, and privacy are the oxygen of a free society. Any policy that suffocates these rights, regardless of the political banner it flies under, is an attack on the very idea of Europe. The gap between this standard and the actions of the five governments is not a policy difference; it is a chasm between democracy and its opposite. #RuleOfLaw #EUPolitics #DemocracyUnderThreat #CivilLiberties #EuropeanUnion #GeopoliticalRisk
