There is so much wrong with this piece by @MKarnitschnig on Merkel's recent interview (which has such an importance and significance in the current context of war) that I feel obliged to engage with some of the issues that he mentions. Thread 🧵 politico.eu/article/german…
The start of the piece is already a misconsctruct. "Angela Merkel isn’t mad, she’s just disappointed. She always knew Vladimir was a problem, but this? Barbaric. It’s not Germany’s fault, much less hers. After all, no one could have anticipated this Katastrophe." Really?
Merkel first of all condemns in the strongest possible words the Russian attack on Ucraine. And she says several times in the interview she feared this outcome. This is why she opposed Ukranian membership to NATO in Bucarest in 2008 and why she negotiated the Minsk agreements.

Here is the Dutch-Spanish Non-paper on strategic autonomy. This is a milestone. A few years ago The Netherlands was quite sceptic about the concept. Now it embraces it with one of the most euro-enthusiast countries in the EU. Key sentence in a thread 🧵 permanentrepresentations.nl/permanent-repr…
"Strategic autonomy does not mean isolation or retreat, but, rather, a reformulation of how to understand sovereignty, advancing towards operational sovereignty, i.e. the capacity to promote an agenda of its own."
"We must seek greater coherence between the EU’s internal and external policies. This will entail modifying rules and procedures, and strengthening the EU’s structures, which were originally conceived for Europe’s economic activity to be separate from its geopolitical activity"

Buenos días. Nuevo año y nueva columna. Esta va sobre el acuerdo de inversiones que acaban de negociar la UE y China. Como muchos estaréis de resaca, y muchos otros no tendréis acceso (aunque deberías suscribiros) resumo aquí las ideas más importantes blogs.elconfidencial.com/mundo/tribuna-…
La negociación (que estaba estancada desde hace años) se aceleró estos últimos meses gracias a la determinación de Merkel (que siempre ha creído que Europa tiene que agarrarse a China) y las concesiones de Beijing de última hora, que han hecho que la Comisión cerrase el acuerdo.
Para muchos el timing es malísimo. El Gobierno chino se ha vuelto más autoritario en casa y agresivo fuera y sorprende que la UE cierre un tratado con China justo antes de que llegue a la Casa Blanca Biden, que había señalado querer coordinar su política hacia China con la UE

Como indiqué ayer, el corresponsal del Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, alarmado por la polarización política desde el inicio de la pandemia, piensa que "España ha perdido el control". El artículo vale la pena leerlo. Aquí la traducción 👇 Abro hilo faz.net/-gq5-a4djs?GEP… #fplus
Lo dicho. El título es: "España ha perdido el control" y el subtitulo reza: "España se deliza a lo que podría ser la crisis económica más fuerte desde la Guerra Civil. ¿Y qué hace la clase política? Se mira el ombligo" Y a partir de ahí empieza el texto...
España ha perdido el control de nuevo. En julio, el presidente Sánchez anunció que la pandemia estaba controlada. Pero desde hace semanas, las autoridades han estado notificando aproximadamente 10.000 nuevas infecciones por día. También el número de muertes está aumentando.

Ok, let me start here a small thread on yesterday's failed #EUCO. Let me do this with my Spanish half of the mind (the view from the South) and my Swiss half (which is sometimes even more brutal than the German and the Dutch perspectives, thats why Switzerland is not in the EU).
First of all, we have entered this new Covid-19 crisis with many open wounds from the previous 2010-2012 debt crisis. The biggest asset among partners is trust. And trust was eroded than and has not been recovered since. So this is not the best context to collaborate.
Lets start with the Spanish perspective. The situation is dire, this crisis will be harder than anything we've seen. We are in a state of emergency, people are locked-down in their homes and hundreds are dying every day. We have a joint enemy Covid-19 and we must fight together
