European Greens have always stood for the politics of progressive change, favouring environmental and social responsibility, freedom, democracy and openness to the world. In the current societal and political climate, many people fear change as much as they strive for it. The politics of change and hope must also address the question of security. To restore the confidence and trust of the people, the European Greens want to advance economic balance and social justice as alternatives to fear-mongering right-wing politics.

Une compilation des sondages pour les élections européennes de mai 2019 prévoit un recul des partis classiques, à l’exception des libéraux, au profit de l’extrême droite.

Le groupe politique Europe des nations et des libertés (ENL), où l’on retrouve le Vlaams Belang, le Rassemblement National français, le FPÖ autrichien, le PVV néerlandais et la Ligue du Nord, profiteraient le plus de la vague europhobe agitant l’Europe. ENL passerait de 35 à 63 sièges dans le prochain hémicycle.

"Last year, we lost $151 billion with the European Union."

In fact: The U.S. had a $102 billion trade deficit with the European Union in 2017. The $151 billion figure counts only trade in goods and excludes trade in services. Trump, as usual, did not say he was doing so.

"...We do not have a fair deal with the European Union, right now, on trade. They treat the United States horribly...they won't take many of our things, including our cars."

Some very serious people believe Russia may in fact possess kompromat-compromising material - on Trump and is using it to blackmail him.

First scenario: If the kompromat would seriously damage Trump

Executive Summary

The United Kingdom will leave the European Union on 29 March 2019. The Government is advancing a detailed proposal for a principled and practical Brexit.  At its core, it is a package that strikes a new and fair balance of rights and obligations. One that the Government hopes will yield a redoubling of effort in the negotiations, as the UK and the EU work together to develop and agree the framework for the future relationship this autumn.

The upcoming summit between President Donald Trump and Russia’s Vladimir Putin affords an opportunity to relearn the requirements of effective diplomacy. If handled poorly, though, it will underscore the adverse consequences of Washington’s rigid approach to world affairs.
