💥 Breaking

The EU Parliament set to prevent Hungary to hold the presidency of the Council, given its well established departure from the EU foundational values and ‘rules of the game’

#euco #RuleOfLaw @GoodLobbyProfs
There appears to be an irreconcilable conflict between holding the presidency of the Council and being subject to:

- Art 7(1) TEU procedure
- suspensions of EU funds

How can the Hungarian government guarantee the proper functioning of the Council?

#EUCO #hungarianpresidency
We may expect the EU Parliament asking - through as resolution - #EUCO to rearrange modalities of the Hungarian presidency, or ongoing troika (Belgium+Spain) to alter the conditions of their internal arrangements…

Towards a depotentiated semester or postponed one?

Can the EU cancel the Hungarian Presidency of the Council of the EU?

A 🧵 based on the @ComMeijers study and draft forthcoming EU Parliament resolution

#EUCO #Hungary @HungaryintheEU
1. Despite not being expressly foreseen, the possibility of postponing the Hungarian Presidency of the Council of the Union may reveal as one of the most effective approaches to make Hungary abide by its rule of law obligations #EUCO #RuleOfLaw
2. Considering that the Hungarian Presidency is set to kick in right after the next EU Parliament elections at the time of the top appointments, the case for postponement or suspension of the presidency is set to acquire some political momentum. The following Presidency will be… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Is Roberta Metsola’s plan to reform EU ethics system good enough?

I’ve examined each of the 14 proposals below 🧵

They’re so marginal and reactive to #Qatargate that they won’t structurally change a system set not to work by design
1. Today MEPs aren’t subject to any post-mandate restriction, yet they receive a transitional allowance to reintegrate the job force (non-sense). Now while they won’t be able to lobby the EU post-mandate, they remain free to have side jobs during the mandate. Absurd!
2. Now MEPs’ sanctions are rare and invisible to the electorate. Now they might become visible enabling greater public scrutiny. Yet depending on where/how that info will be provided this reform will attain its declared goal. Positive, overdue reform but will it work?

On the occasion of her EU’s debut as Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is expected to face greater resistance in Brussels than in Rome.

Here's why 🧵

euronews.com/my-europe/2022…
If @GiorgiaMeloni likes to depict herself as an underdog of IT politics, she’s not foreign to EU intergovernmental game. Since 2020, she leads @ecrgroup as leader of white/christian Europe that is already challenging the historical dominance of @EPP

politico.eu/article/italy-…
@GiorgiaMeloni's attempt at pleasing Brussels - by suddenly embracing a constructive European spirit - hides a deeper strategy on how to handle Italy-EU relations. Let's call it Meloni's European doctrine, building on Orban+Morawiecki's stance within EUCO

🗞 NEW study 🇪🇺

How do citizens engage with the EU?

Here’s the first empirical analysis of the use of existing EU participatory tools, plus a proposal on how to revamp them via randomly selected citizens advising the EU 🧵#cofoe

papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… Image
1. After 70 years of integration, EU citizens largely marginalized in EU developments.

Yet they’re are entitled to “participate to the democratic life of the Union” since 2009, and to do so beyond elections…. Image
2. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the EU today provides a wide array of participatory opportunities to its citizens to engage with – and potentially influence – EU decision-making.

Yet they remain little known and little used. Image

Will Italy side with #Hungary’s Viktor #Orban & #Poland’s Mateusz #Morawiecki in Europe?

As that’s the most frequent question I get asked, here’s a 🧵

#elezioni2022
The incoming Italian government is set to have a special relation with #Orban as Meloni, Berlusconi & Salvini have an excellent relation with him.

They all share a similar worldview, driven by a mix of sovereignity, traditional family and religion. This applies to #Poland too
But that’s where similarities stop with #Meloni being pro-Ukraine and Orban pro-Russia (yet Berlusconi and Salvini are also pro-Russian)

On migration Salvini & Orban disagreed in the past but 🇮🇹 likely to stop proposed EU reform

As Italians go to the polls, here’s 5 reasons these elections will be qualitatively different from previous ones, and highly consequential 🧵

(Spoiler: not for the reasons you’ve heard before) #ElezioniPolitiche2022 #ItalianElections Image
1. This is 1st time a majority of electorate votes for coalition so loose that nobody knows what it stands for : at home (social vs hawkish?),the EU (passive vs rebellious?) & internationally (pro vs anti Russia?).
2. The 1st RIGHT-Center coalition - made of Meloni, Berlusconi, Salvini (MBS!)- will grab a majority, without knowing yet how and for to use it. This is set to be left to day-to-day horse-trading, not to a well-defined coalition agreement #ElezioniPolitiche2022
