The European Union and its citizens, it remains a strained relationship. One full of mixed perceptions and mistrust, yet with high expectations. Sounds like the recipe for some serious marriage counselling or the script of the better Hollywood rom-com? No, it’s just a European reality. From love to hate, hate to love.

While people appreciate how Europe handled the COVID-19 pandemi...

On the other side, green parties, and centre-left parties' sway could quickly decrease. The outcome of the EU elections could have a significant impact on trade pol...

The declaration, titled "In Defence of Democracy," was released on Wednesday with the signatures of the Socialists & Democrats (S&D), Renew Europe, the Greens/EFA and The Left but, remarkably, without the stamp of the centre-right formation. The two-page statement is a reaction to the attack against Matthias Ecke, a socialist MEP who was beaten up over the weekend while he was putting up campaign posters in Dresden, Germany. Four suspects, aged between 17 and 18, have been identified in connection to the incident, which sent shockwaves through Brussels. Ursula von der Leyen, the EPP's lead can...

"I'm quite reluctant with these deals which have to still to prove efficient. We're spending now huge amounts of money, giving this money to different regimes or governments like the Tunisian government.

Electoral hopefuls will be able to campaign on the New Pact on Migration and Asylum, an all-encompassing reform that would introduce predictable, collective rules to manage the reception and relocation of asylum seekers, endorsed in March by the Parliament after years of deadlock between member states. Making the most out of the untested reform will be one of the top priorities for the bloc in the next mandate, particularly after the number of asylum applications reached 1.14 million in 2023, a seven-year high. But parties vying for seats in the hemicycle have more ideas on the hot-button issu...

The ability to live, work, and study anywhere in the EU has been game-changing for people like me and many millions of others and is one of the core reasons for being in the EU.

Against a backdrop of stirring anti-democratic forces, which could threaten our f...
